Does anyone know how many gallons of water Hurricane Harbor has and what the name of the lazy river is?

an Exact figure would be pretty hard to get for gallons, I'm sure you can find in a press release somewhere how many gallons are in the wave pool, but Hurricane Harbor uses a central filtration/pumping setup, where there are pump houses in a few places around the park that deal with all the water in the park, so it's not like you could look at specs and figure that one slide has 100,000 gallons while another uses 200,000 in it's system, being central it's sorta complex, so water from one reservoir would be pumped out to like 3-4 slides, your best bet would be to contact the park if it's a real pressing concern that really needs an answer for whatever reason. And even then best they'd be able to do is a rough estimate, as of course when it rains there will be more water in the system and after a drought it'd be right around it's specified level. Otherwise I'd just place it under the mysteries of life category :)

well as long as we are asking about hurricane harbor, it hit capacity the other day. anybody know what the capacity of the water park happens to be? Also if anybody is really smart what is the capacity of the entire park?

While there is no exact number to close the main park its usually in the ballpark of 50,000.
