Day 19 – Wednesday


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)!
