Wahoo Run was a family water slide at Adventure Island in Tampa, Florida, operated by SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. The 600-foot-long ProSlide Mammoth River was mostly enclosed. Riders aboard three-person roundrafts pass through four waterfall curtains before ending in a splash pool.[1][2] Wahoo Run was named for a game fish, the wahoo, and for the "screaming expected from riders".[3]

In 2022, the ride reopened as Wahoo Remix; the former dark sections are illuminated with multi-color LED lights synchronized with sound elements.
