Fort Smith, Ark – Aug 3, 2021 – A youngster from Mansfield has won the opportunity to be the first
official guest to experience the new Ohana Highway tube slide at Parrot Island Waterpark. Colt
Allbritton’s video was selected as the winner of the first to slide contest. Park officials announced the
“First to Slide” contest in June. The contest offered kids under the age of 18 the opportunity to submit a
short video explaining why they should be the first official waterpark guest to slide down the new 2-
person tube slide after its completion this summer.

new attraction. Parrot Island Waterpark has many exclusive attractions, so it just seemed fitting to do
something extra special in honor of this new slide.”

The new slide officially opens to the public on Saturday, August 7th.
