Scaparri Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I really like them if they are good and not too crowded. I love Blizzard Beach as well as Typhoon Lagoon. Those are easily the best I've been to. Splashin' Safari at Holiday World is good, but I'm starting to think that they are doing too well for themselves. The last time I went, the park was so crowded, there wasn't one slide that didn't have an hour+ wait. To me, that is ridiculous. I can't bring myself to wait that long for every slide in the park. Summit Plummet at BB is about the only slide I'll ever willingly wait more than an hour for. But yeah, for the most part, I really enjoy water parks.
SharkTums Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 What park is water jump going to be at? It looks like its going to be the coolest water slide ever! :cooldude:   http://www.canevaworld.it/eng/ap/aphome.htm  It's at some psycho park in Italy!  Elissa "can't wait!" Alvey
memphish Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I love water parks personally. We used to have one here in Memphis, but it closed in the late 90's, and is now a empty lot / strip mall / self storage. Atleast this summer when I'm in Destin I can get a pass to Big Kahuna's. That place has gotten huge compared to what it was when I was a kid. The only bad part is that they filled in thier 3 chute slides and replaced them with 2 fiberglass slides that aren't nearly as good. They used to also have 2 speed slids with a red tube that went underground below them. They still have the tube, but they have cleared away the hill and built fiberglass replacements of the white speed slides, so now all three are suspended. That killed a little of the feel that side of the park had, but the new area is great and has basically doubled the size of the park.
BuffaloCoastin Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I'm not a fan of waterparks...I don't mind them and will be willing to go on a hot day, but I'm strictly coasters when it comes to enthusiasm.
CoasterCrazy Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 http://www.canevaworld.it/eng/ap/aphome.htm It's at some psycho park in Italy! Elissa "can't wait!" Alvey  Why does all the cool stuff have to be so far away.
X Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 My favorite water park is probably Raging Waters in San Dimas. My favorite water slides are probably Half Pipe at Raging Waters and Tornado at Hurricane Harbor. The Straight down speed slides are fun, but the always stratch my back I also like water slides like Hurricane harbors Secret Passage. But all the cool water parks like Blizzard Beach, Splashin Safari and Shlitterban be so far! Why Oh WHY IS THE WATER JUMP IN ITALY? WHY!!! Hey, at least I live close to Hurricane Harbor, and our local park only 6 blocks away has Water Slides

So i would say RW...even when i almost got stuck in Vortex
maliboomer Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Take a gf wearing a two peice on Summit Plummit at Blizzard Beach...
kenshinmac Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Eh I wouldn't complain too much about slides hurting your back... I honestly don't even dare go to water parks here in Colorado without wearing a light t-shirt anymore. I just burn too damn fast and I don't really want skin cancer... Â Oh and what is with the guy recommending the Elitch Gardens waterpark and not Waterworld? Â BTW does anyone else not like this latest trend with amusement parks adding water parks? I mean personally I just don't like the two connected. I am not going to move between the two and despite signs I have to deal with wet seats because they let someone on a ride in their swimsuit... issed:
coasters 4 me Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I just love waterparks. My favourite is definately Blizzard Beach. Summit Plummit is amazing. Although i did go on it 3 times, but everytime i went on it, managed to get a wedgey. Sigh! Lol!
verticalzero Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I love Waterparks, there are not enough rides which use rubber rings in the UK. Â The only Waterpark I have been to is in Portugal called "Slide n Splash". Â There are some Indoor waterparks in the UK, the best one is called "Splashdown" at Tower Park. Â I use Rollercoaster Tycoon Add-on "Wild" to create Water Slides/tubes.
justin22025 Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I really love water parks, but I only like the tube slides because the lay down slides kind of sting my back. My favorite water park is Six Flags White Water in Georgia.
SharkTums Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 ^^Wow, you're all about bringing topics back from the dead today! Â Anyways, I love waterparks! I went to a few new ones this past season and hope to hit some more new ones this year!
Coaster Passion Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I like adventure Island in tampa and SPLASHIN SAFARI is the best!!!! Â SFNE water park is alot of fun also!
ParkTrips Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I'm not a hater nor a lover of waterparks. If I do go, I can have a great time. My girlfriend loves them, so whenever a park has a waterpark, we usually check it out (ie Darien Lake, SF New England), even if it means only picking up 4 credits at SFNE. Â I know a lot of folks don't like them, but we LOVE Tornado's and pretty much any water slide. The master blasters are cool too 8)

the_rock401 Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah, talk about forum CPR... Â I enjoy waterparks. Too bad there aren't any decent ones within a reasonable drive of here (3 1/2 hours to Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells does not count). But as far as the best one I've been to: Noah's Ark. 'Nuff said. Too bad it's in the Dells. Â Paul
waterviper Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Ok my turn to add the reserected dead!!! Â Waterparks are my second passion if not as equal to amusement parks!! I would probably say my favorite waterpark is Waterworld in Denver Colorado. I was rather impressed with their combination water/darkrides, especially Voyage to the center of the earth!! There is this really awesome spiral down inside a cave at the begining of the slide that catches you off guard!! It was also my first waterpark that had a skyway system in it aswell. But I will have to admit my favorite slide there is Tortuga Run because there is never big line to it and its fun to drop from pool to pool while bouncing off other riders in their tubes while you are goin down. Â Other waterparks that I have been to are Wildrivers in Irvine California Raging Waters in San Dimas California Soak City (knott's Berry Farm)in Buena Park California Soak City in San Diego California Wild wild Wet in Anaheim California-- This was just a waterslide park with only concrete slides that you use a mat to slide down on. It was demolished in the 80's sometime. It was located close to Disneyland Wet and Wild in Las Vegas Nevada
verticalzero Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Is there a Water slide at any park which has a "loop" or "camelback" during it's course..? Â Do any Slides have any "Airtime"..?
s2pids2 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 ^^ Uh....how about the airtime on Summit Plummet @ Blizzard Beach? I still think that waterpark is amazing...although I don't like the snakes that lurk around the plants and bushes. Â One of the best water parks I've seen in years is Wild Wadi, in Dubai! I can't wait to go there some day...looks like great fun! http://www.wildwadi.com/map/
man Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I think slides are the best besides coasters. Go down real fast and hit turns. The funny thing is on a coaster they do all the checking and all of those things. While water parks just get you on the tube say hold on and throw you down. My favorite one is hurricane harbor in texas went over the weight limit on white wolf (the 3 person raft one) almost went over if my friend didnt slow us down then we ran the guy at the end over he fell back trying to catch us.

Â Yes I have had airtime on several water slides at Six Flags White Water in Georgia. The scariest one with the most airtime is Dragon Tails. You come completely off of the slide on the second and third hump. I think you go about 40mph on it. It really just depends on how much you weigh though.
sfmmFREAK Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 i've never been to one, kinda sad that i have been to sfmm hundreds of times and never hh.
socalMAN123 Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I personally think that waterparks are AWESOME! The best ones of been to are Raging Waters in San Dimas and Wild Rivers in Irvine. I love the high speed of waterslides. ---Brent
