Construction of a brand new million-dollar water slide is almost complete at Castaway Cove Waterpark in Wichita Falls, and they now have an official name for the new attraction.

The park recently held a 'Name the Slide' contest on their Facebook page giving locals the opportunity to vote for their favorite name for the new water thrill ride.

After nearly 1,000 entries, the official name of the new waterslide at Castaway Cove is Pirate's Plunge.

Wichita Falls resident Tonya Toney was randomly selected from all of the entries as the grand prize winner and will receive a package of 4 season passes, a cabana for the day, and pizza and drinks for four.

Castaway Cove Waterpark and the new Pirate's Plunge water slide are scheduled to open on May 9 this year.
