My highlights of Aquatica…
Roa’s Rapids We thought this was a lazy river. Not so much lazy as crazy. We wore life jackets and were dragged round four times faster than a normal lazy river through waterfalls and geysers. We laughed, especially as Erica‘s life jacket looked like it was eating her as she sped along.
Loggerhead Lane Definitely a lazy river. It didn’t have quite the same impact after traveling at speed through Roa’s Rapids.
The children’s part of the water park, Kata’s Kookaburra Cove and Walkabout Waters. There were water cannons, slides, different brightly coloured levels to explore. These areas areas are aimed at children too young to walk, upwards. They looked amazing and I can imagine my children spending all day, getting wrinkly, in there.
We went on the Tumata Racer, which is 8 lanes that you go head first down … very fast. The Racer gives you a time at the end. Jo won! If we’d gone on again, I would have definitely won *COUGH*.
I really enjoyed the all new Omaka Rocker. Sitting on a tube we were thrust forwards, backwards and all over the place before dropping out at the end of the slide. Note, there is no ladylike way of getting off the tube … especially if your tankini bottoms are stuck up your … umm… bottom.
We were at the park on a Sunday and it didn’t feel too busy. We got on a lot of the slides pretty quickly, the longest wait probably being 10 minutes. Other than the rides there were lots of sunbeds and two pools with wave machines to loll about in.
Aquatica was one of my favourite parks in Florida. I love water parks. I loved even more that we were able to go on our final day, hours before we flew home. The perfect, relaxing, end to our trip.

We visited Aquatica in Aug 2010. Superb water park, recommend this water park more than Wet’n Wild.
As a self confessed water park addict I would love to go to Aquatica. In the meantime the kids & I will carry on whiling away the hours designing our own water park should we ever win the lottery. Although these days my interests seem to be more about the life guard uniform. *ahem*
I have never heard of Aquatica.
I would LOVE the fast river. Be fun to alternate between the slower one and the faster — hang the bruises on Roa’s!
Lovely pix too.
And how’s the weather in the UK today??
I love Aquatica, can’t wait to go back!
I loved Aquatica, I would definitely recommend it to everyone as a fab addition to an Orlando holiday. Superb.
