Authors WebsiteThere are 4 main water arks in the Orlando area 2 of them being Disney, one belonging to the sea world business and of course Wet and Wild, the first two Disney ones are Blizzard beach and the second is typhoon lagoon.
Blizzard Beach is as you would guess set around a snow capped mountain.
They have an area called melt away bay this has a wave pool, the children love this area.
Summit plummet is as it suggests a large water slide when you are at the top it seems almost vertical but for the brave at heart it is a great thrill ride.
It Is said to be the worlds fastest and tallest free fall body slide , and believe me it certainly does live up to its reputation.
To take you to the top of mount gushmore you would take the cable car, or walk if you are feeling energetic (always take the cable car myself)
On mount Gushmore there are several rides team boat springs, this is a raft ride that all the family can do together.
The toboggan racers are great fun here you lay down on your tummy and race the rest of your family you can race up to eight people at a time
There are lots more rides in Blizzard and all are great.
Typhoon Lagoon
Is set around a dessert island the rapids is a gentle ride where you float around the park on a large rubber ring you can get off at several places.
Here in this park there are 9 water slides and the main area is a beach ,when the hooter sounds it has a huge rolling tide.this is great fun but the wave is very strong so if you are a bit unsteady don’t go too far in.
Aqatica
This is the newest of the water parks in the area, and is located by sea world. It is said to have 36 slides ( I have never counted them myself) The main slide is a clear plastic tube slide that runs through a lagoon filled with dolphins. There is also a large beach area. As with all water parks refreshments are readily available
Wet and Wild
I believe this is the oldest of the water parks, it is conveniently situated at the bottom of International Drive
They have several rises that all family members can go on together. The two person hydro capsule blasts you off. My favorite is the black hole, but wont spoil it for you. If you decide you just want to go in the afternoon I believe they do a discount.
What ever water parks you try you will not be disappointed
