In 2008, I went to Orlando Florida and stayed at the Westgate Resort. We went to many popular Orlando parks including Sea World, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, Wet n’ wild and Aquatica. My favorite parks were the water parks. Even though I can’t remember much about my visit to the parks, I do remember small details. I remember  Wet n wild because it was the most exciting water park I have ever gone to.

Wet n wild is known for its giant bubble and has the largest family water play area in Florida. This park has multiple people rides, single person rides and easy going water attractions and activities. It has something for all ages.

I remember going on the Bomb Bay. It’s a straight down vertical slide. I remember riding this at least twice. When getting on the ride people stand on a trap door. The trap door then opens to a 76 foot drop. After the trap door is opened people slide down the slide in a matter of seconds. The trill is the most exciting part of the ride. Once people ride it after the first time it isn’t as much fun from my experience.

The Black Hole: The next generation was the ride I was the most scared to go on. I remember thinking that it was a spaceship octopus. The whole ride is dark like a black hole. I thought it was going to be like the moon ride at Delgrosso’s Amusement Park. I was wrong. It was scarier and was an adventure I will never forget.

The new attraction that I want to see is the Blastaway Beach. Even though it is mostly for little kids, I just want to see the castle and everything it has to offer. It has a 60 foot castle, and 15 water slides. I hope to go back to this water park in my future

I went on more rides there, but they are the two I remember most. Check out http://www.wetnwildorlando.com/ for more rides and information on the park.
