Rides

Thrill rides

• Brain Wash - This is Wet 'n Wild - Orlando's newest attraction that just opened this summer. You begin traveling through a dark tunnel. All of a sudden you find yourself going down on a 53-foot vertical drop into a 65-foot domed funne as your tube does a half pipe up and down the walls while water from every angle comes shooting out at you surrounded by a room with flashing lights, brain's, and other mind blowing affects that makes you feel like your actually inside of a tornado.
• The Storm - You push yourself down into a steep tunnel that sends you flying down extreemly fast into a giant bowl that sends you spinning around with mist surrounding as you drop into the pool below.
• Mach 5 - Grab a mat and walk your way up a long winding tower to the top where you have three slides to choose from. When told by the lifeguard at top, push yourself down the ride of a twisting, turning, head-first flumes that fall 1,700 feet over three different courses.
• Der Stuka - Push yourself down a six-story speed slide that sends you flying down a 250-foot, nearly vertical drop that transitions to a 115-foot water runway.
• Bomb Bay - The ride for all dare devils is right here. Go inside this rocket with heart beat affects waiting there not knowing when the trap door that sends you down a 76-foot, nearly vertical slide drops you to the depths below.
• Knee Ski - A cable-operated ski lets you kneeboard like a pro around a half-mile long lake.
• Wake Skating - Everyone from beginner to expert can show their stuff on the WakeZone Cableway.
• The Wild One - Two people are pulled by a Jet Ski around the lake on big, bouncy tubes that make for a wild ride. and its fun

• The Surge - A 5-story tube ride that carries a 4-passenger tube down 600 feet of banked turns, radical twists and diabolical dips.
• Bubba Tub - Grab the family and climb aboard one of the four-passenger tubes for a six-story, triple dip drop ride.

Kids rides
