Adventureland Of LI To Debut New Wave Twister Ride In Summer 2025 Season

FARMINGDALE, NY — Adventureland of Farmingdale is set for a fun 2025 summer season, starting on Wednesday, June 25, the amusement park announced.

The park will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, barring a few delayed openings in July. People are asked to check the Adventureland website and/or social media for up-to-date operating information.

"Adventureland is looking forward to hosting another thrilling year of family fun!" said Caitlin DiSclafani, park manager, in a news release. "We are excited to launch our Sunset Savings Program this summer, as well as our new Not Ms. Rachel Show that will take place on the Adventureland Stage. Team Fun, Royal Event’s Princess Parties, and Amazing Louie’s Magic Show are joining us again this summer to add smiles, laughter, and fun for kids of all ages with their entertaining shows and skills. Our partnerships with Nassau and Suffolk Libraries continue this summer, highlighting our commitment to the communities we serve, and the critical role local libraries play in our Long Island neighborhoods."

New Ride: Wave Twister

The new family ride, "Wave Twister," is set to open this season. This first-of-its-kind ride in the United States was custom built for Adventureland. This new ride is part of "phase two" of the amusement park’s multi-year, five-phase $15 million redevelopment plan announced last year.

The track, which is shaped like a boomerang, fits into the "Legacy Corner" and will maximize the available space in that section. The "Wave Twister" was made in Switzerland by RES Rides — the same company that built the "FireBall" ride.

The boomerang-shaped track will simulate the motion and feel of riding on ocean waves. It will spin and travel over a track and reach heights of up to 60 feet at its peak. Although a "dry ride," it will have water elements consisting of fountains and mists. Two gondolas in a figure-eight shape complement this ride, which fits 20 riders per cycle. Riders must be 36 inches tall (height of the average 4-year-old) to ride with adults, and 48 inches tall (height of the average 8-year-old) to ride alone.

There are plenty of entertaining shows lined up. New for this season is the Not Ms. Rachel Show, with varying show dates. Three shows returning this season by popular demand include the Royal Event’s Princess Parties on Thursdays to feature sing-a-longs on the Adventureland Stage and photo ops throughout the park. In addition, there will be engaging performances by Team Fun featuring jugglers and walking entertainers and Amazing Louie’s Magic Show.
