Orlando Water Parks: Cool, Refreshing Thrills to Help Beat the Summer HeatBy Ryan Wiseman Billed as the 'Coolest Water Park in Central Florida,' Disneys Blizzard Beach boasts nearly two dozen waterslides - all centered around 220-foot-tall Mount Gushmore! Highlights of Disneys Blizzard Beach include the twisting flumes of the Runoff Rapids tube run, Snow Stormers racing slides, Cross Country Creek river ride, Melt-Away Bay wave pool, Downhill Double Dipper racing slides, Summit Plummet free-fall slide, Teamboat Springs raft ride, Mount Gushmore Chair Lift, Tikes Peak childrens water play area and Ski Patrol Training Camp. According to Disney World legend, a freak storm dumped a ship high atop Mount Mayday and created Disneys Typhoon Lagoon in the process! In addition to a Shark Reef, Surf Pool and Humunga Kowabunga speed slides, Disneys Typhoon Lagoon features the Ketchakiddee Creek childrens water play area; Storm Slides; Keelhaul Falls, Gangplank Falls and Mayday Falls tube runs; Castaway Creek lazy river ride; and a Sandy White Beach, the perfect spot to enjoy some relaxation in the sun. From thrilling waterslides to relaxing river rides to childrens water play areas, Wet n Wild Water Park has something for everyone! Nestled in the heart of world-famous International Drive, Wet n Wild is known as 'Americas most exhilarating water park.' The truly adventurous will want to experience Wet n Wilds 'extreme slides' such as 'The Blast,' 'Der Stuka' and 'The Storm,' as well as 'Brain Wash' (which features a 53-foot vertical drop) and the Disco H20 raft adventure. Spend a day in a tropical paradise at Discovery Cove, SeaWorld Orlandos sister theme park, which allows visitors to interact with bottlenose dolphins, sharks, barracuda and stingrays, as well as snorkel through a colorful reef full of exotic fish. Float down a river through waterfalls and lush landscaping, feed hundreds of tropical birds and relax on a white-sand beach overlooking the beautiful lagoon. Attendance at Discovery Cove is limited to 1,000 guests a day, so it is never crowded. Note: Reservations are required for Discovery Cove. In addition, construction is under way for SeaWorld Orlandos Aquatica, which will open along International Drive in the spring of 2008. The sister theme park of SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove, SeaWorld Aquatica will boast 36 thrilling waterslides, side-by-side wave pools, raft rides, more than 80,000 square feet of white-sand beach, and six rivers and lagoons. SeaWorld Orlandos Aquaticas signature attraction will be a 300-foot-long waterslide, which will feature a clear tube that will plunge riders down a 42-foot drop and through a crystal-clear lagoon full of black-and-white Commersons Dolphins.
