With the new, six-lane mat racing waterslide, aptly named Aussie Mat DashRaging Waves continues to grow with an attraction that will allow six riders to race side-by-side in tunnels to the bottom. With only two other such slides installed in the world, the Aussie Mat Dash will be installed at the south end of the park, near The BoomerangCyclone and other Raging Waves favorites.
