Pool season is in full swing, but two major attractions at Sandcastle still haven’t opened for the season.

The Lazy River and the Cliffhangers slide are closed thanks to flooding earlier this year, TribLive reported. Floodwaters poured in and then froze, cracking the Lazy River’s fiberglass. The slide shares the same water filtration system as the Lazy River.

“Major repairs” are needed, a Sandcastle official said, and a rainy May slowed the process. There’s no timeframe on when the attractions will open.

But Sancastle is just one of the many places to beat the heat and humidity.
