Tsunami Surge is a water coaster located in Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Chicago, in the Riptide Bay area that opened on May 29, 2021. Manufactured by WhiteWater West, the water coaster claims the title of the tallest water coaster in the world at 86 feet (26 m), even if there are higher water coasters such us the italian Divertical at 60 metres (200 ft). Announced in 2019, the water coaster suffered a delay following the effects of the park's closure and construction delays relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
