Wet N Wild Orlando
Wet N Wild has always been known for its signature
water rides, no different in the case of Wet N Wild Orlando. There's
the 'Thrill Rides' of Blue Niagara,
the Bomb Bay,
Knee Ski,
Der Stuka, Mach 5,
Hydra Fighter,
the Storm and the Wild One.
But there's so much more to this Water Park.
So as the name would imply, you're going to get 'Wet' and it's going
to be 'Wild' in the way you do it!
Out of the 3 geographic areas in Orlando, they are actually 4 Water
Parks to choose from in the Orlando area: Wet N Wild on
International Drive, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach in
Lake Buena Vista and the family owned and operated Water Mania in
Kissimmee. But to the best of our knowledge, only
Wet N Wild is open on a year-round basis. You may want to
keep this mind depending on the time of the year you'll be arriving.
Highlights here include:
Blue Niagara - Twisting and
turning from your starting point of 6 stories above the Park. You'll
ultimately end up with a 'Big Splash' at the base of this ride!
The Bomb Bay - Ranked by an
Orlando Magazine as Central Florida's greatest thrill ride. You'll
enter a 'bomb-like' shell, of which the floor will suddenly drop
beneath you plunging you almost vertically for 76 feet! Need we say
any more?
Knee Ski - Like Water-Skiing, but
instead you're pulled behind a boat on a Knee Board. Offered
seasonally, and unique to Wet N' Wild only. Unlimited rides on a
half-mile long course and all included in your admission!
Der Stuka - First of the signature
thrill rides here. You'll first 'free fall' from a height 6 stories
down a 250 ft water slide until you gradually come to a stop on the
115 ft long water runway!
Mach 5 - With 'three' different
courses to choose from. Choose your course, thrill to it, and then
end up with a 'big Splash' at the bottom!
Hydra Fighter - A unique ride.
Here you're seated 'back-to-back' with another Park Guest while all
the time regulating the water pressure of each other's water
cannons. This all controls how fast, and how far you'll swing!
The Storm - Ever wonder what its
like to be 'flushed' down the drain? Here's your chance. Billed as
'swirling body coaster,' the 'all-new' the Storm will give you this
opportunity - it's wild!
The Wild One - Have you ever been
'Tubing?' It's a blast! Here you'll be towed behind a wave runner on
a giant inner tube. Additional fee required. Seasonal.
A little more mild, but just a little...
The Black Hole - Here you'll be
propelled through 500 feet of twisting, turning 'darkness,' and all
within 30 seconds! Get the picture?
Bubba Tub -Accommodates 4 as you
take the plunge down a 6 story 'triple dip' trip to the bottom of
this water slide!
The Flyer - 450 feet of banked
curves and speed induced straight-aways, and it all takes place in 8
foot long toboggans!
The Surge - Dropped from 6 story's
above, you'll twist and turn through almost 600 feet of banked
curves!
For most ages...
Lazy River - A peaceful, relaxing
'float ride' down a mile long winding river. A typical tropical
landscape also accompanies you on your journey!
Volleyball - Enjoy some fun in the
Florida sun! Here you can experience some friendly competition in
one of Florida's most favorite beach games - Volleyball!
The Wave Pool - This area has one
of the most powerful wave machines in the area, which now produces
even stronger and higher waves!
For the children...
Kid's Park - In many respects, a
miniature version of the adult things to do at the Park, but more so
designed for children under 48" in height!
Bubble Up - Is an interactive play
area for children between 36" to 48" in height. Slippery surfaces,
ropes, slides and water guns!
In summary...
Florida is known for its sunshine, and its 'sunburns.' Please take
this very seriously and use the appropriate protection for both
yourself, and your children (and follow the directions in to how to
apply it). We can't think of anything worse than to be walking
around the Theme Parks in such a state. Not a fun way at all to
spend a couple of days on holiday.
