WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. -- A new animal is arriving at Noah’s Ark this summer. Chameleon will bring an all-new ride experience to America’s Largest Waterpark, and the first-of-its-kind in Wisconsin Dells. The vibrant slide transforms the park’s Flying Gecko attraction and invites guests to ride down on a fully immersive and colorful journey with vivid lights and sounds.
Up to four guests can take the plunge together in one of the park’s newest colorful tubes as they race past 74 color-changing lights and eight speakers. Riders will find a new surprise around every single twist as they hear an exclusive mashup of songs created just for Noah’s Ark. The thrilling new ride experience is just one of the more than 51 attractions Noah’s Ark offers, the most expansive lineup of water attractions in the Wisconsin Dells.

“As America’s Largest Waterpark, we are always looking for innovative ways to grow our attraction lineup to offer even more unique experiences to our guests,” said Noah’s Ark General Manager, Christopher Mortensen. “We know that the addition of the new Chameleon will deliver an unbeatable ride that guests won’t be able to find anywhere else in the area.”
Chameleon will be fitted with iSlide technology, which includes color-changing lights and music to create an immersive ride for guests. In addition to adding lights and sound to the interior of the slide, the outer shell will also be receiving a brand-new makeover. This spring, the outside will be transformed with a stunning new paint job to represent the changing colors of a chameleon.
Season Passholders are invited to be among the first to enjoy Noah's Ark for the park’s 45th opening day on Saturday, May 27.

What is your favorite part about living in Madison? I love its diversity. The people are so accepting. There is also so much to do and see!
What is the biggest news story that you’ve covered? When I worked in Omaha, my photographer and I chased severe storms in southwest Iowa. We were the first ones on scene of a home destroyed by a tornado as the family came out of their shelter. We captured it all on live television. We even beat emergency crews there.
What do you like to do in your spare time? I’m a certified yoga teacher so I love spending time on the mat. I also enjoy spending time exploring outdoors.
What is your favorite kind of ice cream? Butter Brickle is my everything!
What is your favorite place to vacation? I love cruising in the Caribbean.
Who is your hero and why? My Grandma Peg Shaw is my hero. She is the kindest and most humble person I know. She puts others first and never complains about anything.
What is your favorite sport to play or watch? I grew up in a big hockey family in Minnesota. I played all the way through high School.
What is your favorite tradition around the holidays? I love spending time with family. I’m lucky enough to live and work close to home so getting together with my family is still pretty easy to do.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? The best piece of advice I’ve ever received is to stay positive. There are many time in life we go through rough patches, but staying positive and looking forward always helps me overcome obstacles.
If you could relive any moment, what would that be? If I could relive any moment, I think it would be the first time I experienced live television as a reporter down the road in Eau Claire. I remember how nervous I was thinking I’d screw up. When I look back, I realize it was no big deal.
