BUFORD, Ga. - May 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Saturday, May 9 marks opening day for Lanier Islands’ popular lakeside entertainment district – LanierWorld. In hopes of being the subject of many happy memories and countless essays recounting the “best summer ever,” the award-winning Georgia resort has a number of terrific surprises in store for guests. Most notable among those revelations for the 28th season of Lanier Islands’ popular waterpark is the addition of two new major attractions, the CAT 4 Slide and Thunderbolt Zipline Experience. As if that wasn’t enough, the Islands’ staff has several more exciting tricks up their water wings.

Forecast Calls for FUN with the Unveiling of CAT 4 : The adventure begins high on a hill on hard-bottomed tubes, as this four-lane dry slide sends riders flying out over the heads of unsuspecting passerby on the boardwalk below, bounding out across the beach, and splashing down directly into the cool waters of the lake. To move to the front of the line for this and several other popular attractions throughout the park, riders can purchase Fast Passes.

The Electrifying Debut of Thunderbolt: This exciting new zipline experience boasts three parallel racing ziplines. Riders begin their rapid descent through the forest, over the boardwalk, across the beach and high above the sparkling waters of Sunset Cove before touching down on the opposite shore. GoPro® cameras will be available to rent* so riders can record their elevated escapade for posterity.

A Bigger and Better Wibit Aquatic Obstacle Course: This popular playground that floats just off the shores of Big Beach gets super-sized for Summer 2015. Guests can now jump, slide, climb and bounce their way from one end of the beach to the other.

Bringing New Meaning to the Phrase “Sofa-Surfing”: The addition of a large high-resolution digital screen at the end of the Wild Waves pool is an open invitation for guests to consider their tube an aquatic sofa. The big screen’s entertaining lineup will include cartoons, music videos and a regular roster of G- and PG-rated Dive-In Movies day and night all summer long.

The More, the Merrier: LanierWorld will feature a jam-packed new schedule for Summer 2015 – boasting extended hours, family-friendly activities, music-focused events and lots and lots of fireworks. There is never a dull moment at this lakeside destination thanks to a rotating roster of Full Moon Parties, holiday celebrations, Dive-in Movies and live open-air concerts.

Foam for Fun: For a real beach “ball”, LanierWorld will be adding a little life to the party with the introduction of copious amounts of foam at the popular water wonderland – Fun Dunker, as well as at Sunset Cove’s beachball/volleyball courts on select dates.**

It’s a GAS: With the recent addition of Lanier Islands’ beautiful new marina and the popularity of the docks at Sunset Cove and Big Beach, the addition of the new fuel dock at Sunset Cove is certain to prove a convenient new feature for guests who arrive at LanierWorld by boat.

Perennial Pizza Party: Based on the popularity of Gianni’s Italian Bistro, LanierWorld is premiering its new Gianni’s “Pizza-To-Go” – which is capable of producing up to 90 full size handmade pizzas per hour. Pizzas can be ordered through a convenient beachside walk-up window.

For the 2015 season, LanierWorld guests can also expect the return of fan-favorite attractions like Wild Waves, Raging River, Blackout, Intimidator, Triple Threat and five more fast downhill waterslides, as well as a number of great restaurants including Sunset Cove Beach Café & Club, Gianni’s Italian Bistro, Tads and the popular eateries of the boardwalk. To view events and daily admission prices, purchase season passes, reserve a boat dock or lounge chair cluster on the beach, and more, LanierWorld fans are encouraged to visit www.lanierislands.com.

* GoPro cameras will also be available to rent for waterslides and other attractions.
