Sky Splash

Sky Splash was the largest attraction at Sesame Place. The ride opened to the public in 1995. Sky Splash was located in Twiddlebug Land, a section where everything was "larger than life". It was designed to look as if it's made out of giant Tinker Toys, rulers, and other household items. It featured a giant 8-foot-tall Rubber Duckie atop which spits water onto riders. Sky Splash allowed up to six riders in a large raft-tube.

Riders glided under oversized items as they descend more than 6 stories high stopping in "sky" ponds with whirlpool-like jet streams and falling into "accelerator slides" with speeds up to 20 feet per second. The ride concluded with a final plunge into a giant pool of water.

Following the closure of Sky Splash in 2023, the giant Rubber Duckie will be relocated to Sesame Neighborhood.

Official description

“Located in the park's Twiddlebug Land section, where visitors are made to feel like tiny beetle-like creatures that live in Ernie's and Bert's window box, Sky Splash is almost five stories high. A stair/ramp leads to an 8-foot-tall Rubber Duckie out of whose beak a huge blast of water sprays over everyone and into "sky ponds." Giant Tinker Toys spin water over the 12-foot-wide slide that stretches more than 500 feet to the splash-down pool. Groups of up to eight can ride in huge raft-like tubes in 50,000 gallons of water, and along the way, encounter some surprises.”
