Concord Water Park Tickets 2026: Prices, Hours & Map Guide
Planning Concord Water Park in 2026? This refreshed guide is for Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord in Concord, California. It explains tickets, ticket-price intent, season-pass value, hours, open/closed status, map directions, cabanas, dining, official safety PDF rules, ride height and weight checks, accessibility planning, food and allergy rules, lockers, app use, first-hour strategy, and the historical tragedy/incident searches without turning the page into thin keyword stuffing.
Fast answer: Concord Water Park usually means Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord at 1950 Waterworld Pkwy, Concord, CA 94520. The official ticket page shows a water-park ticket starting from $35, and the official daily-ticket page shows a 2026 Gold Pass at $85 online with a higher gate-price signal. It is an outdoor seasonal water park, so “open today” or “closed today” must be checked on the official calendar for your exact date.

DirectionsWhich Concord Water Park Do You Mean?
The search term “Concord water park” has multiple meanings. The main ticketed water park intent is Hurricane Harbor Concord in Concord, California. Some visitors, however, are looking for city pools, North Carolina aquatics, old Waterworld information, or historical incident news.
| Search phrase | User intent | Best answer |
|---|---|---|
| Concord water park tickets | Buy admission for the big Concord CA water park. | Use Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord daily tickets and compare passes before checkout. |
| Concord water park Six Flags | Confirm the current name of the old Waterworld Concord site. | The current operating brand is Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord. |
| Concord water park hours | Know if the park is open today, this weekend or during a travel window. | Use the official calendar because hours vary by date and season. |
| Concord water park open | Check exact-day operating status. | Official 2026 pages are active, but exact open status depends on the date calendar. |
| Concord water park closed | Find out if it is permanently closed or only seasonally closed. | No permanent closure is supported by current official pages. A closed result usually means seasonal, weekday, weather or calendar closure. |
| Concord water park tragedy / death / incident | Understand old news about the Waterworld slide collapse. | That refers to the 1997 Banzai Pipeline collapse at Waterworld USA Concord, not a current 2026 operating alert. |
| Concord NC water park | Look for North Carolina aquatic facilities. | That is a different search from Hurricane Harbor Concord in California. |
Concord Water Park Ticket Decision Tool
Use this before checkout. It turns ticket-related search intent into the right official next step, so you do not choose a daily ticket when a pass or cabana plan would make more sense.

Concord Water Park Tickets and Ticket Price 2026
Ticket-price intent is not only “how much.” The real question is whether a one-day ticket, Gold Pass, group ticket, Bring-A-Friend ticket, dining plan or cabana add-on changes the best value for your group.
| Ticket or product | Official 2026 signal | Best for | Before you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Park Ticket | Official daily-ticket page shows “Starting From $35,” taxes may apply, and admission is valid on the selected date. | One-day visitors who know their date. | Check date, weather, calendar, online total, refund protection and whether your group needs lockers or food plans. |
| 2026 Gold Pass | Official daily-ticket page shows online Gold Pass pricing from $85 and gate price shown as $130. | Repeat visitors and West Coast Six Flags travelers. | Confirm access list, taxes, pass terms, blackout language and benefit changes. |
| Bring-A-Friend ticket | Official special-offers page lists Bring-A-Friend ticket starting from $20 and says a valid passholder must accompany the guest. | Passholders bringing one friend for a selected date. | Confirm date, passholder presence, tax, terms and water-park eligibility. |
| Group tickets | Official group-ticket page is the correct path for group pricing. | Schools, camps, youth groups, large families and organized outings. | Check group size minimum, date, payment deadline and supervision plan. |
| All Season Dining Plan | Official add-on page shows All Season Dining Plans starting from $99, plus taxes and fees. | Passholders who will eat at the park multiple times in 2026. | Drinks are not included, menus can change, and a 4-hour interval/max two meals per day rule is listed. |
| All Season Drink Plan | Official add-on page shows All Season Drink Plans starting from $35, plus taxes and fees, with refill timing listed. | Repeat visitors on hot days. | Compare against one-day drink spending and confirm current terms. |
Concord Water Park Season Pass: Silver vs Gold vs Prestige
Season-pass searches have a different intent from daily-ticket searches. A pass can be smart if you will visit multiple times, need parking, or want other Six Flags parks. It can be overkill if you only want one Concord water park day.
| Pass tier | Official benefit signal | Best use case | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Pass | Access to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Hurricane Harbor Concord, waterpark admission, general parking and visits through Labor Day. | Local guests focused on Concord and Discovery Kingdom. | Labor Day wording, current sale price and benefit terms can change. |
| Gold Pass | Access to all CA, AZ and MX Six Flags parks listed by Six Flags, general parking, all-season visits, bring-a-friend discounts and 10% food/merch discount. | Bay Area visitors who may also use other West Coast parks. | Only buy for extra-park value if you will actually travel. |
| Prestige Pass | Access to all Six Flags parks, limited preferred parking, all-season visits, two free bring-a-friend tickets annually and 15% food/merch discount signal. | Heavy park users who value premium benefits. | Preferred parking is limited and benefits can change without notice. |
Is Concord Water Park Open or Closed?
This search has two meanings. Some users ask whether the park is open today. Others ask whether the old Waterworld Concord site closed permanently. The answer is different.
Current operating identity
The park operates as Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord. Official 2026 ticket, pass, cabana and direction pages are active.
Exact-day open status
Use the official calendar for your visit date. Seasonal parks can be closed on weekdays, shoulder-season dates, private-event dates or weather-affected days.
Closure confusion
Do not confuse Hurricane Harbor Concord with other Six Flags closure news, California’s Great America news, or historical Waterworld naming changes.
Concord Water Park Hours and Best Time to Go
The official hours page is the only reliable answer for a specific date. Do not trust a generic search snippet for “open now” because seasonal water park hours can change by date, weather, staffing, private events and maintenance.
Check exact date
Open the official calendar and select your visit date. If no hours show for that day, treat the visit as unconfirmed until Six Flags posts or confirms hours.
Hot-day strategy
Arrive early for easier parking, better seating, faster locker setup and more morning slide time before the hottest part of the day.
Use the app
Six Flags promotes its app for tickets, passes, mobile food ordering, wait times, show schedules, directions and park updates.
Concord Water Park Rides and Attractions
Hurricane Harbor Concord has thrill slides, family raft rides, kids play structures, a wave pool and a lazy river. Match the day to your group’s age, height, swim ability and heat tolerance.
Break Point Plunge
Six-story, enclosed launch-capsule slide where the floor drops out. Best for confident thrill riders who meet the posted 48-inch and weight rules.
Official ride pageThe Big Kahuna
Large Bay Area family raft slide with twisting, turning raft action. Good for groups who want to ride together.
Official ride pageSplashwater Island
Large interactive water-play structure with nine slides, ladders, sprays, geysers and tipping-bucket style play.
Official ride pageBreaker Beach
Massive 635,000-gallon wave pool with shallow and deeper areas. Shorter guests and weak swimmers need extra attention.
Official ride pageKaanapali Kooler
Lazy river-style attraction where guests float, swim or wade with currents, waterfalls, waves and splashing.
Official attractionsTornado / Typhoon
Tube and raft slide complexes with steep drops, high speeds and combined rider-weight rules. Check signs before waiting.
Official attractionsOfficial Safety PDF: Ride Rules, Accessibility and Family Planning
The official Guest Safety and Accessibility Guide is one of the most important sources for this page. It explains the micro-details that a normal ticket page does not: rider responsibility, mobility access, service animals, loose articles, food exceptions, first aid and specific ride criteria.
If the PDF viewer does not load on mobile, use the official PDF button below.
Rider responsibility
The PDF says guests must use good judgment, obey verbal and written warnings, and properly use safety equipment. Posted signs and team-member instructions control your day.
Wheelchairs and ECVs
Guests may use their own wheelchairs or ECVs. Battery charging is available at Guest Relations, and ECV operation rules apply.
Service animals
Service animals are welcome in most park locations, but rides are not designed for service animals. Someone in your party must stay with the animal while you ride.
Accessible parking
Accessible parking is first-come, first-served in main lots. A valid placard or license plate must be displayed.
ASL request
The PDF says American Sign Language interpreting may be available with at least 7 days’ advance request through the Operations Office.
First aid
The PDF says EMTs or paramedics are on duty during operating hours. Ask any team member if medical help is needed.
Height, Weight and Slide-Readiness Table
Do not wait in a line before checking whether your rider qualifies. Height, weight, body position, loose-article and clothing rules matter on multiple rides.
| Ride or area | Official PDF/source detail | Practical visitor meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Breaker Beach | Wave pool depth ranges from zero to six feet. Anyone under 48 inches must wear a Coast Guard-approved flotation device and be accompanied by a responsible person. | Small children and weak swimmers need active supervision; do not treat the wave pool as a passive play area. |
| Break Point Plunge | PDF lists a 48-inch height requirement and maximum 300 lb rider weight. | This is not a first slide for nervous riders. Check height/weight before climbing stairs. |
| Big Kahuna | Guests must be at least 42 inches; under 42 inches may participate if accompanied by an adult. Maximum four riders per raft and combined weight limit applies. | Great family ride, but raft grouping matters. |
| Splashwater Island | Upper slides require 40 inches and 300 lb max; smaller lower slides require 36 inches and 200 lb max. | Good for kids, but not every small child can use every slide. |
| Tornado | PDF lists 48-inch height requirement and combined raft weight limits by raft type. | Check your group combination before waiting. |
| Kaanapali Kooler | PDF describes a flowing river with currents, waves, waterfalls and pool depth up to 3.6 feet; zero-depth entry available through Caribbean Cove with lifeguard assistance. | Better for rest breaks, but currents and water depth still require supervision. |
| Typhoon | PDF lists 48-inch height requirement and combined rider weight limits. | Confirm rider pairing before reaching the platform. |
| Loose articles | PDF says loose items cannot pass the queue entrance and cannot be left on the load/unload platform. | Put phones, keys, bags and drink containers in lockers or with non-riders first. |
Food, Coolers, Lockers and Loose Items
This is where many families lose time. Read this before packing a cooler, promising kids snacks in line, or bringing phones onto slides.
Outside food rule
The official PDF says food, beverages, coolers and grills may not be brought into the park, with limited exceptions for special dietary needs, food allergies and infant food.
Food allergy process
Guests with sensitivities or life-threatening allergies may bring limited food if they are not comfortable with menu options. Security or Guest Relations approval is required on arrival.
Locker strategy
Use lockers before the first ride. Phones, keys, drink containers and bags should not be carried into ride queues.
No cameras on rides
The PDF says picture taking and camera/video use are not permitted on any ride while it is in motion.
Clothing details matter
Several slide rules restrict items such as denim, zippers, buttons, rivets, sharp items and loose articles. Proper swimwear is more than a style choice.
Infants and nursing
The PDF notes a private room for nursing mothers at First Aid and baby-changing areas in restrooms. Ask a team member for directions.
Cabanas, Loungers, Dining and Add-Ons
For many families, shade and a predictable base are more important than adding another ride. Cabanas and loungers can be useful for toddlers, grandparents, birthdays, large groups and long hot days.
| Add-on | Official starting signal | Best for | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breaker Beach Loungers | Starting from $125; day bed for two. | Couples or one parent/child base near Breaker Beach. | Admission is separate unless official checkout says otherwise. |
| Calypso Cabana | Starting from $175; private cabana for up to six guests near Wave Pool. | Families needing a lower-cost private base. | Taxes may apply and availability changes. |
| Tiki Cabana | Starting from $225; private cabana for up to six guests near Wave Pool. | Groups wanting more comfortable seating near major water areas. | Compare location before choosing. |
| Capri Cabana | Starting from $300; overlooks Breaker Beach Wave Pool with upgraded tables/furniture. | Birthdays, premium family days and heat-sensitive groups. | Only worth it if the group uses the base throughout the day. |
| Lil’ Kahuna Cabana | Starting from $300; overlooks Splashwater Island play structure. | Families with younger children staying near Splashwater Island. | Good location if kids spend most time in that zone. |
| All Season Dining / Drink Plans | Dining starts from $99 and drink plans from $35, plus applicable taxes/fees. | Passholders making repeat visits. | Dining locations, menus and operating hours can change; drinks are not included in dining plan. |
Concord Water Park Map, Address and Directions
The official address is 1950 Waterworld Pkwy, Concord, CA 94520. Map it before buying tickets because East Bay traffic, hot-day arrival, rideshare pickup, parking timing and shade hunting can change the best plan.
Best map search
Search “Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord, 1950 Waterworld Pkwy, Concord, CA 94520.”
Parking timing
Arrive earlier on hot weekends. Late arrivals can lose time on parking, security, lockers, food lines and seating.
Old-name confusion
If your map app shows Waterworld, Waterworld Parkway or old park references, use the official Six Flags directions page to confirm.
Concord Water Park Tragedy, Incident and Death Searches
People search “Concord water park tragedy,” “Concord water park incident” and “Concord water park death” because of a historical accident at the same Concord water park site when it operated as Waterworld USA. This section is included for factual clarity and safety context, not sensational content.
Why it appears in search
Old tragedy headlines still rank because the event was widely reported and tied to the former Waterworld USA name in Concord.
Do not confuse eras
The incident happened in 1997 under the Waterworld USA name. The current operating park is Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord.
Current-day action
Use current Six Flags safety rules, official PDF guidance, posted signs, lifeguard instructions and ride restrictions for your visit.
First 60 Minutes at Concord Water Park
The first hour decides whether the day feels relaxed or chaotic. Do this in order, especially with children, seniors, first-time visitors or a larger group.
Confirm tickets and calendar
Open your ticket QR code, confirm the selected date, and make sure the official calendar still shows the park open.
Pick a family base
Choose a meeting point near lockers, bathrooms, shade or your cabana. Tell kids exactly where to return.
Secure loose items
Put phones, wallets, keys, bags and drink containers in lockers or with a non-rider before joining slide queues.
Measure kids before big slides
Check height signs before promising Break Point Plunge, Tornado, Splashwater Island slides or wave-pool independence.
Start with the right zone
Use Splashwater Island or family areas for younger kids; use Breaker Beach and Kaanapali Kooler for easier group settling; save extreme slides for riders who qualify.
Best Concord Water Park Plan by Visitor Type
A toddler family, a teen group, a senior watcher, a passholder and an accessibility-focused visitor do not need the same plan.
| Visitor type | Best plan | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Toddlers and small kids | Start with Splashwater Island, Caribbean Cove-style areas and shallow play before wave-pool time. | Height limits, adult supervision, life jacket, shade and bathroom distance. |
| Teens | Prioritize Break Point Plunge, Tornado, Big Kahuna and higher-thrill slides after checking requirements. | Height, weight, loose articles and line strategy. |
| Grandparents or non-riders | Use a cabana, lounger or shaded base if they will stay most of the day. | Admission rules, heat, walking distance and seating availability. |
| Budget families | Compare one-day tickets, Bring-A-Friend, group tickets and season-pass break-even math. | Parking, dining, drinks, lockers and cabanas. |
| Repeat visitors | Compare Silver, Gold and Prestige passes before buying separate daily tickets. | Park access, visit dates, parking, discounts and pass terms. |
| Accessibility-focused visitors | Read the official accessibility page and PDF before ticket purchase. | Transfers, ride criteria, service animals, accessible parking, IAC card and ECV rules. |
