One of the most fun "rides" at the park was this river - Roa's Rapids - kinda like a lazy river, but it's not lazy - and it's rapids! You just float around in a life vest and the very strong current shoots you around. So much fun!
The park has these super cute dolphins that look like mini killer whales. They are Commerson dolphins - so cute, I could just take one home to live in my pool!
Aquatica also has two wave pools, which have some pretty good waves, but nothing like the huge wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon. We let the kids go out in the wave pool since they both had life jackets on, and when we finally went out to check on them they were bobbing around out in 6 foot water! yikes, better keep an eye on them next time :)
There was a body slide tube that went right through the dolphin pond. A bit hokey though, because I'm pretty sure none of the people on the slide actually saw anything as they went sliding through there!
This was a super huge splash zone set up for the kids. There was so much water pumping through that thing, it was incredible! It also had 2 huge buckets that fill up and dump down on everyone. It was hard to get the kids off of that thing!
Here are some Macaws enjoying their day...
This was a really fun ride that we got to ride down in pairs on a tube. I insisted that we tried all of the colors since I liked it so much. We also got to go on another ride with a huge tube that was really fast, it scared me! The same tubes were used for another ride in which we all got to ride together.
But I think the best ride by far was this Racer ride. You lay down on a rubber mat, head first, on your stomach, and race down this thing. After gaining a bit of speed in the tubes, you shoot down the 300 foot hill and race to the end!! I thought Zack might be scared of it, but he loved it. Sydney was hesitant to go on it at first, but we talked her into and she said it was fun too.
We would definitely go back here again :)
