Splashtown at Darien Lake is a water park coinciding with Darien Lake Resort located in Darien, New York. It encompasses areas formerly included in the main park, but was spun off as a separate admission in 2010, with the addition of new attractions and a repaint of the Barracuda Bay slides, 'Cuda Falls as well as the removal of the changing rooms in front of Barracuda Bay. Also, the Barracuda Bay entrance was closed off making Barracuda Bay only accessible from the bridge near Hook's Lagoon. After 2010, the separate admission was omitted.
From 1990 to 2010, Barracuda Bay was the name of the central location of the water park, and encompassed multiple slides. Most of the slides were removed leaving only the 'Cuda Falls slides still operating in the complex until its last season (2012). The slide complex was demolished before the 2014 season. All water attractions are included with the price of park admission tickets.
