This national
chain of water parks has a great location on International
Drive. You'll pass it on the way to Universal studios and the
other attractions on I-drive. Wet n Wild offers a wide array of
water based rides and attractions, a food court and retail
swimwear at the Trade Winds Surf Shop. Staffed by
certified lifeguards, the park is a great place to cool off
during Central Florida's hot & humid afternoons.
You'll see one of
the park's most popular attractions from the street. The
Black Hole is a massive structure made of twisting
black tubes that looks like a huge spacecraft. 1,000 gallons of
water per minute flow through the tubes to propel your two-man
raft through 500 feet of twists and turns in thirty seconds. You
shoot through the tubes in complete darkness for a ride that's
really out of this world.
Other tubing
attractions include The Fuji Flyer, a 6-story
toboggan ride and The Surge, one of the
longest and fastest water tube rides in the Southeast.
Another hot
attraction at Wet n' Wild is the Hydra Fighter.
This fun attraction places you in a swing that is equipped with
water cannons. By manipulating the direction and pressure of the
water cannon, you can control the velocity of the swing.
This is a new attraction to Wet n Wild, so be prepared to wait.
If all these
rides sound too wild, there are plenty of more sedate options.
You can take an inflated tube ride around the park in The Wild
One or splash around in the playground. There's even a video
arcade for land-lubbers.
