Aquatica Orlando Overview – A Must Do

Aquatica Orlando is the newest waterpark to have been opened in Florida. Florida in many ways is about warm weather, great attractions and water either from the Sea, the pool or best of all the Water Parks and at Aquatica you can have everything in one place as it is the home of them all.

There are some awesome rides to be taken in Aquatica and if you have heard the name of Aquatica or seen any images of video then it will have been of the “Dolphin Plunge” ride, this is an excellent experience where you ride a 250 foot see through slide tube.

It is a wonderful sight to see a tiny girl emerge from the depths of the pool standing on the very nose of a whale – she looks like the warhead of a missile fired from a nuclear submarine. The level of training is impressive to think that these huge sea creatures will respond to the will of tiny, puny humans.

On one visit to Seaworld, show time arrived and went by. Something was amiss. Sure enough, the trainer came on and announced that the whales were not responding to their normal routines (“they are being naughty”) and it would sent all the wrong messages to the whales if they were allowed to get away with it, so would everyone be understanding that the show was being cancelled and would everyone leave and return for the next scheduled performance. And do you know, everyone got up with no moaning and filed out, perhaps realising that you don’t mess with killer whales.

You must see this show. On the way out my day was made a bit special when I won a stuffed model of “Shamu” for my grandson by shooting a basketball through a ring.
