Islands of Adventure's HydroAction Ski Show


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Today my mom, sister, and I went to IOA and USF. The main reason for going was IOA's new show. It was a pretty good show,but I'm glad it's only going on during the summer.

 

The show was fun to watch, and to listen to the people talking about it "announcer style". After seeing it once it's kind of something you would just watch while walking by. There were a lot of dead moments during the show where there was nothing to watch. The main viewing area was outside the JP Discovery Center, but people were watching from all over the park. We watched from the walkway behind Mythos.

 

Overall it was a good show. Nothing to drive across the country for, but it was enjoyable!

 

Here are the pictures I took that turned out! Hopefully I'll be posting the video I took Later tonight or tomorrow. Maybe some random park photos too!

At the end of the show you could meet the atheletes that preformed in the show. Everyone kinda just walked by them...I felt bad. Next time I'll deffinately go up and talk with them.

 

Thanks for reading! Check back for the video.

Allright you can't really tell from the picture but these things were awesome! Picture a wakeboard with a chair on it and an anchor sticking out of the bottom.

Allright here is the beginning of the show. Everyone is riding around, and waving. People who are viewing from the Discovery Center are warned that they WILL get wet.

About an hour before the show started this guy started warming up.

In JP this sign was sort of the flag waving people down to come see the show.

Nice pics, but this show looks simply sucktastic and completely out of place! I guess everyone wants to be Cypress Gardens now.

 

It's a lot better looking in person. The performers had very little lake to work with, but they did well with the space they were given. As I said there was a lot of downtime in the show with nothing to watch, I'm guessing they will improve with each show.

 

Hey I got me a VW, how do I get in the Very Important Person because I drive a Volkswagen Area??

 

I have no idea...sorry!

 

All right I'm having trouble with my video converter So I'm gonna keep trying.

I saw the show this past weekend. Its a lame excuse for a show. I'm sorry but its the worst water show I have ever seen. They jump over the jumps trying to make it out to be "insane". they did a helicopter and one did a backflip. They had fireworks which were more like roman candles. I'd give this show a 2 out of 5.
