ETapley0687 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 ^ lol This was a good TR! I'm glad I was able to see what it actually looks like... I actually thought it would be more than what it actually is. I was looking for more scenery than what's really there... and the dolphin part of the slide is sooo much shorter than what it is. Other than that, it looks like it could be fun with the right people and it might be on my list of things to do in the future. I think I really would like to on the enclosed family slide and raging rapids... those looked really fun lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Do they even have space for some more trees? I really though there was going to be alot more landscaping and trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few trees in the park, its just going to take a few years for them to grow to full size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think the park loks pretty nice. Nothing compared to Siam Park, though. -Tanks "HOLY CRAP, SIAM PARK IS FREAKING AMAZING!" 4me05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a disposable camera they seemed like pretty good quality pictures. Every time I use a disposable camera all the pictures come out crap.

EvoLee Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Waterpark Capital of the World? Can Orlando tourism support all these waterparks? Most 7-day family vacations allow probably one day for waterparks, IMO, and I can't see Aquatica outdrawing Disneys, except for people using the Universal Flex Pass possibly. Which makes me wonder if this park will be included on the Flex Pass and if so how much will it add to the price. Nice looking place and I think the all day food wristband seems like a great deal. I'll probably check it out on my next visit simply because it new but not sure I'd ever go back unless they added something really cool. Great TR.

Chrissie Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Awesome TR Erik! I was really looking forward to seeing this park. Hopefully I'll be able to visit it this year. I was hoping that you would get a bit longer with the dolphins, but it looks amazing nonetheless. Thanks for all the advice, I will definitely sun cream up while im there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealTinkerbell Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ..."Memeber" BAAAAAHAHAHA I totally didn't notice that! Oh I love it! Great TR. Especially the POV shot of the Twister ride. Ha! This park looks amazing! I mean combining a water park with animals is just genius! I know that at the Atlantis Bahamas they had(when I went) a slide just like the Dolphin one at Aquatica, but instead of dolphins they had sharks. And you passed right through them. It was the most amazing thing ever! And I always wished that more parks would do such things. And now someone was smart enough to think of it!

doom1001 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was waiting for an actual park report to upgrade my Platinum pass and make it out there.It looks like a nice park,it seems some people expected more after looking at the amazing artwork they had on their website.Next time Busch should consider putting pictures of the old "Watermania" waterpark in Kissimmee on their website and then when the real park opens everyone would be amazed!!!

Hattuchili Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great pictures, Erik. I was really looking forward to that park and I am sure it will be on my list for my next visit in Orlando.

cfc Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ^^Rare, indeed, is the park that lives up to its concept art. Even so, I'm looking forward to checking out Aquatica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randroid Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great photo preview! hmmmm...I think that I would still prefer Typhoon Lagoon. I like lounging in the shade more that sliding down magenta colored plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Awesome TR Eric! the park looks like a lot of fun. Kinda sad that the dolphin slide through is that short. However, the lazy river aquariums look incredible. I will have to bring my underwater housing with me the next time I get there to visit. October is looking good this year! Woo Hoo! See ya at WCB!
