Bootlegger’s Run, the newest attraction at Splish Splash in Riverhead will open Saturday, June 1, becoming the first water roller coaster in New York. Up to four riders get into toboggan-like cars that act like inner tubes during the ride’s drops, but shoot up the three hills of the coaster using magnetic devices called linear induction motors. The multi-million dollar ride is the most expensive in the park’s history.
