River Legacy Parks

9 am to 4 pm
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

Just when you think you’ve seen it all!
The Cardboard Boat Regatta challenges amateur boat builders to design, build and navigate boats made entirely of corrugated cardboard. Come and enjoy the fun as you watch the masterful maneuvers of boats braving the waves at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. In addition to hosting the competition, the region's largest water park opens two of its most popular attractions for guests to enjoy, Hook's Lagoon and the Tornado.

Don’t have time to design and build a boat ahead of time but you would like to race? Try your luck with the Class III build-on-site boats! You and your crew will be given two hours to build a boat using 3 pieces of cardboard, 2 rolls of duct tape, 2 sheets of plastic, a box cutter, a pencil and yardstick. You bring your crew and we’ll provide the supplies! Class III boats will race in the wave pool and the winning team will receive a trophy.

Other exciting activities offered that day include face painting, bounce house, Mini-Boat Regatta, games, drawing contest, bubble play and much more. During the Mini-Boat Regatta, children ages 4 to 12 pay a $5 entry fee to race a small pinewood sailboat along a rain gutter by blowing into the sail. Also, don’t forget to purchase miniature rubber whales and cheer them on to victory as they sail down the Lazy River during the Regatta. The more you sail, the better your chances of winning great prizes!

Participate in the new Regatta Corporate Challenge where companies compete in boat races, volleyball and tug-of-war to win great awards!
