Aquatica Review - Part 2
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Aquatica has some great areas for the smaller children, better than Blizzard beach and typhoon Logoon.
Walkabout Waters - (Similar and better then Universal Studios kids water area)
This is a two story structure with lots of water things for kids to do, slides, sprays, drop water on people, all situated in a large pool. This was packed full of kids aged 12-14 and under (And lots of parents!) Have to be over 3 feet high. Every 10 minutes or so a large bucket of water tips over and soaks everywhere (similar to Universal Studios water area for kids)
There is also lots of seating around this area with shaded areas under large umbrella’s.
Top Tip - If you have small kids this would be a great place to camp out for the day, you can sit on a chair of bed while keeping an eye on the kids.
Kata’s Kookaburra Cove
Another kids area, smaller than Walkabout Waters, which has a pool with several slides for the smaller kids.
Overall if you have small children we think this is the best park out of all the water parks in the area.
Life vests are free and readily available, and lots of places for the kids to play.
Tassie’s Twisters
A dual tube which opens up into a large bowl which you spin around until falling out of the bottom into a pool. Quite fast and good fun. Not as good as the one at Wet ‘n’ Wild, but still good fun.
Once you exit this ride in your tube, you can continue to float around a slow lazy river which is quite small but takes you through two separate viewing areas.
Fish Grotto - Very Sea World, like the shark exhibition but with fish. The tube floats past a large glass window with fish behind it.
The other lane takes you past the dolphin plunge pool, where you can see the tubes and dolphin’s. This is one of the areas that I mentioned in part 1 on the dolphin plunge attraction.
Buzz….Buzz
Ha ha, the whole park is Australian themed with names and commentary, the voice artist they used is Jason Donavon well known for appearing in neighbours and being the voice artist used in the PS2 game Buzz…
Conclusion
We liked the park, it’s a must visit for any trip to central Florida. It has some great unique attractions. The park is quite small, much smaller then the Disney parks so gets busy very early on. We felt that the park is suited more to the younger kids rather then thrill seeking teenagers and adults.
All in all a good day out.
