Tidal Wave (or Oasis presents Tidal Wave for sponsorship purposes) is a giant 'Shoot-the-Chutes' water ride located at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, UK. It was opened in 2000 and was Tussauds' first major investment in the park before the Colossus rollercoaster in 2002.
When the ride was constructed in 2000 it was the tallest water ride in Europe[1] and retained the title until 2002, when Hydro at Oakwood Theme Park was opened.
