The state of Georgia is gearing up to unveil its very first waterslide coaster at Lake Lanier this spring. It seems like a daring move considering the lake’s ominous reputation for making people disappear. Margaritaville at Lake Lanier Islands has officially begun construction on the thrilling new attraction, as reported by PEOPLE.

The upcoming addition to Fins Up Water Park will feature,
“the highly-anticipated Apocalypso—Georgia’s inaugural adrenaline-pumping waterslide coaster that will redefine aquatic excitement.”
Apocalypso might sound like an intense name for a slide next to a lake that has a knack for mysterious happenings. Nonetheless, thrill-seekers can also look forward to trying out other slides like Serpentine Storm, Dreamsicle Dive, and Mango Mania.
