Wahoo Run is a family water slide at Adventure Island in Tampa, Florida, operated by SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. The 600 foot long slide is mostly enclosed, passing through four waterfall curtains as it winds up at a splash pool.[1][2] Wahoo Run is so named for a game fish, the wahoo, and for the "screaming expected from riders".[3]
