CNN has an article on water parks in which Water Country, Adventure Island, and Aquatica are all mentioned. It was originally updated at the end of July, but for whatever reason it is back on CNN's front page. (Don't really think this is a slow news day, so not sure why.) I didn't see it posted elsewhere, so hope this isn't a double post.
CNN: How to get soaking wet this summer
Water Country: "A highlight at SeaWorld's Water Country USA in Williamsburg, Virginia, is the Nitro Racer, where body surfers can enjoy a "six-lane highway full of slippery fun." Water Country hosted 748,000 guests in 2012, according to the Themed Entertainment Association."
Adventure Island: "Riding Wahoo Run at Adventure Island in Tampa, Florida, provides soaking wet thrills. Rafts carrying as many as five people shoot through a water flume at speeds exceeding 20 feet per second. They corkscrew through a half-enclosed tunnel into a splash pool. More than 650,000 people passed through Adventure Island's gates last year, according to the Themed Entertainment Association."
Aquatica: "SeaWorld's Aquatica in Orlando, Florida, drew more than 1.5 million visitors last year, according to the Themed Entertainment Association. Thrill rides include the popular Dolphin Plunge and the "lightning-fast" Tassie's Twisters."
