History
Underground opened on April 27, 1996.[1] It was built atop a former amphitheater that originally featured marine shows. The pool was retained and used as a mine pit for Underground.
The attraction was closed for the entire 2023 season, during which it was refurbished.[2] It reopened in 2024 with a refurbishment by Gaff Box.[3][4]
Design
The Underground is located indoors and is kept in the dark. It has various characters designed by Themed Environments and Effects.
