In addition to the 2 new slides, Carowinds will enhance the dining experience and food offerings at the park with a multi-million dollar investment. Set to open in May 2014, construction will begin this Fall and will be documented on the Park’s social media channels. “Cedar Fair is committed to building more excitement and value for our Carowinds guests,” says Bart Kinzel, Carowinds Vice-President and General Manager, “The slides are just the first phase of a multi year park investment plan that will continue to deliver the best-day-of-summer that guests have come to expect.”
The slides are primed to make Boomerang Bay better than ever in 2014 as they add to its popular attractions, including two wave pools, 11 slides, and 2 kiddie splash pools with over 2 million gallons of water in total. Like a shark circling its prey, guests spin and swirl before sliding into the corkscrew exit. Dorsal Fin Drop offers 351 feet of slide and takes riders on the whirl of a lifetime as they gain speed in a curved-tunnel that blasts them into a bowl. Guests then gracefully enter a final tunnel for a fun ‘splash landing’ into a pool at the bottom of this 45 foot tall experience. Surfer’s Swell will travel a total of 263 feet riders will plunge onto an angled wall that mimics the sensation of catching an ocean wave. The slides will offer two distinctively different rides unique to Boomerang Bay. The new slides will stand over 4 stories high and add 600+feet of sliding fun, bringing new thrills and splashes to the popular water park. The mega-slides are the first phase of a multi-year, multi-million dollar capital investment plan at Carowinds.

On August 8, 2019, California's Great America announced that Boomerang Bay would be renamed South Bay Shores and expanded for the 2020 season with several new additions, including a six-slide complex, eight kiddie slides, and other amenities within the complex. Following Cedar Fair's purchase of Paramount Parks properties in 2006, which included California's Great America, the name of the water park was shortened to Boomerang Bay for the 2007 season.
Originally covering 2.7 acres (11,000 m 2), the water park was expanded the following year in 2005 to 11 acres (45,000 m 2) with the addition of a lazy river ride, two water slides and a 150,000-US-gallon (570 m 3) swimming pool.
