Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Formerly, Island Kingdom, until 2003 is a chain of water parks that are part of the Six Flags amusement park chain. Although the parks are not identical, common features include a variety of body slides, speed slides, tube slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and shopping areas.

In Prince George's County, Maryland; Gurnee, Illinois; Agawam, Massachusetts; and Eureka, Missouri; the water parks are part of a larger theme park which has other rides such as roller coasters and a wider selection of stores and restaurants.

The first Hurricane Harbor, located in Arlington, Texas (coincidentally the birthplace of the first Six Flags itself), was originally a part of the Wet 'n Wild chain of water parks, but was purchased by Six Flags in 1993. It was later renamed Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Construction of Hurricane Harbors across America took place in the mid-1990s and has since become a trademark of the Six Flags franchise. Six Flags St. Louis was first to construct its own intra-park water attractions section; soon other Six Flags locations added their own Hurricane Harbor sections.
