Water Mania offers over 36 acres of wild
raft rides, thrilling slides, twisting flumes, adventurous
pools, and a three acre wooded picnic area. This park
may not be as high profile as other water parks of Orlando,
but the area devoted to kids here is twice more than
in any other water park in Central Florida. Water Mania
is dedicated to kids' enjoyment.
You'll find a variety of aquatic attractions in this
36-acre water park. You can boogie board or body surf
in the wave pools, float lazily along an 850-foot river,
enjoy a white-water tube run on Riptide, and
spiral down the Twin Tornadoes water slide. If
you dare, ride The Screamer, a 72-foot freefall
speed slide, or the Abyss, an enclosed tube slide
that corkscrews through 380 feet of darkness, exiting
into a splash pool. There's a rainforest-themed water
playground for kids, a miniature golf course, and a
picnic area with arcade games, volleyball, and a beach.
Note: This park has fewer thrill rides
than Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach or Wet
'n' Wild (listed a bit later), so it has fewer teens
and young adults, making it more attractive to older
adults or families with younger kids. Allow 4 to 5 hours.
Tubes, towels, and lockers are all available for rent
for a small fee and a $1 deposit ($2.15 for a towel,
$5-$6.45 for a tube, $4.30-$6.45 for a locker; a child-size
life vest can be rented at no charge).Thrill
Rides
The Screamer (72 feet) and the Double Berzerker
(66 feet) are the park's main speed slides. They send
the thrill seekers straight down with a splashing finish.
Twin Tornadoes: with two flumes to choose from,
guests can pick their course as they charge head first
down 320 feet of twists and turns with only a mat between
them and this adventurous slide.
Wipe Out: you don't have to be a surfer to enjoy
this high intensity thrill attraction. Grab a body board
and ride this continuous perfect wave. Water Mania
is proud to be the first water park in the Southeastern
United States to feature this fantastic continuous wave
attraction.
The Anaconda: exactly what the name implies,
the Anaconda is a snake-like flume that takes family
tubers from a 50-foot tower down 400 feet of massive
fun. It literally takes your breath away.
The Abyss: guests tumble in darkness through
a swirling mass of blue tubing. The ride isn't as dark
as the Black Hole at Wet'n'Wild,
but is still pretty good.
Relax Rides Cruisin'
Creek: floating swiftly along this 850 foot tropical
river which winds around several of the park's main
rides. It's nice attraction for all ages, especially
for children.
Whitecaps Wave Pool: guests can jump right into
720,000 gallons of water and bounce along on the continuous
bubbling waves, with or without a tube.
Kids Rides The Rain
Train: life sized brightly colored locomotive, which
sits in zero depth water to make it easier for kids
to hop aboard. Water sprays from the "Rain Train's"
stack, wheels and slides. Adjacent to the train is a
variety of fun interactive play elements.
The Rain Forest: this paradise for children's
game and fantasies includes slides, fountains, water
guns, and an immense pirate ship.
The Electric Arcade: the latest in electronic
game excitement is available near the entrance to the
park. |
