POV: It’s 7 PM on the final day of the season and someone tells The Rush staff we’re officially closed.

And just like that… The Rush is officially CLOSED for the 2026 season!

It’s always a bittersweet feeling locking the gates for the final time. After a summer full of long days, sunny afternoons, countless trips around the Lazy River, Huna wipeouts, whistles, laughs, and so many memories, our staff isn’t quite ready to say goodbye.

To everyone who spent part of their summer with us, THANK YOU! Whether you visited once or practically lived here all summer, we are so grateful you chose to spend your summer at The Rush.

And to our incredible 2026 staff: thank you for everything you poured into this season. You made The Rush what it is, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

That’s a wrap on Summer 2026. The gates are closed, the tubes are getting deflated, and apparently our staff is taking it really well.

See you in 2027!
