Disney World Water Parks
Disney's
Blizzard Bech Water Park
 Water Parks at Disney World have come a long way. The
newest water park in "the world" is Disney's
Blizzard Bech Water Park. Themed after a ski resort, this offers the largest
number of water "thrill rides" of the three
water parks. Of special terror is Summit Plummet . The
160ft high mountain sends guests on a body slide straight
down....at nearly 65 miles per hour!! I REFUSED to go
on this (although my friends did....makes nasty wedgies!!).
Other rides include a bob-sled ride, a slalom ride, and
the infamous "family ride". I don't know whose
"family" this was...but up to 6 people get into
a big tube and fly down this flume (on turns this thing
feels like it's going over the side). Scary..but fun.
Disney's
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
 Another
great water park is Disney's
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. This features a couple of healthy
body slides, a very nice and relaxing inner tube creek
ride that runs the perimeter of the park, and the big
Wave Pool . Every few minutes this pool self generates
6 foot waves and douses everyone in it's wake. Also of
note here is the diving pool. Guests are invited to sport
a scuba mask, and swim across the surface of a pool loaded
with tropical fish and plant life, oh..and yes, a shark
or two (I'm not kidding). Since I'm a lousy swimmer, I
avoid this...but those who consciously avoid swimming
with sharks can view the action in an underground viewing
area.
