Last Ride for Calgary’s Thunder Run | Calgary News

Calgary’s beloved Thunder Run waterslide is closing its doors for good—20 loyal fans got one last ride before renovations begin. Mayor Jeromy Farkas, who rode it as a kid, and local icon Andrew Phung, who even worked at the centre, joined the final riders to honor its legacy. The 30-year-old slide, once a childhood dream for many, is being replaced as part of a major upgrade, with a new version expected by end of 2027. Riders like Rob Refvik and Logan Thompson shared emotional memories, celebrating the slide’s role in families’ lives—and looking forward to what’s next. Each rider received a commemorative certificate, marking their place in this splashy farewell. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
