We went to another waterpark today – Aquatica, which is owned by the
same people who own SeaWorld.
Like at Typhoon Lagoon on Monday, the day was a mixture of relaxation
and excitement. Comparing the two, the slides were better (i.e. faster!) today,
but the queues were longer. But the wave pool wasn’t anything like as much fun
as Typhoon Lagoon.
We particularly enjoyed Taumata Racer (8 slides side-by-side where you
race against each other), Tassie’s Twisters (where you sit on an inflatable
ring which goes down a slide before coming out in a bog round funnel where you
go round like water down a drain) and the Dolphin Plunge (a traditional
waterslide except where the slide goes through a pool with dolphins swimming in
it (not that you get to see the dolphins as you go through too fast, although
the kids claim to have seen some).
Along with lazing around the Roa’s Rapids (which is especially fun when
you put on a life-vest and let the current just take you round) and reading in
the shade of an umbrella protecting us from the very hot sun, it was a great
day.
Even after all that, I suspect that the kids would say that coming home
via CiCi’s Pizzas would be their highlight – all you can eat pizza and drinks
for $6.99 (adults)!
