SeaWorld Orlando

SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida, has been part of Central Florida’s theme park landscape since 1973. Originally focused on marine life, aquariums and live shows, the park has changed considerably over the decades. Roller coasters and other rides have become an increasingly important part of SeaWorld, adding a new dimension to the experience while the park has retained its focus on marine life.

Mako, Manta, Kraken and Pipeline: The Surf Coaster are now among SeaWorld Orlando’s major attractions and give the park an impressive roller coaster lineup. Animals remain just as much a part of SeaWorld, with sharks, penguins, dolphins, sea lions and many other species found throughout its aquariums and exhibits. Live shows, family attractions and additional rides round out the park’s offerings.

SeaWorld Orlando has evolved considerably over the years, adding major new attractions while staying connected to its original focus on the world’s oceans and marine life. The result is a park that feels quite different from the other major theme parks in Central Florida.

WildWater Adventure



Water Park:Wildwater Adventure (since 1990)
Address:1198 W Riley-Thompson Rd
Muskegon, MI 49445

Operated by:Enchanted Parks


WildWater Adventure is the water park connected directly to Michigan’s Adventure and first opened in 1990. Over the years, it has grown into a sizeable park with a mix of body slides, tube slides, family raft rides, a lazy river, and no fewer than three wave pools.

Some of the most interesting attractions include the hillside-built Mammoth River and Mine Shaft family raft slides, the three Black Hole slides of Snake Pit, and Funnel of Fear, a large ProSlide Tornado. With its size and variety of slides, WildWater Adventure offers plenty to do, and together with Michigan’s Adventure it can easily fill an entire day.

Cedar Point Shores



Water Park:Cedar Point Shores (since 2017)
Soak City (since 1988 - 2016)
Address:1 Cedar Point Dr.
Sandusky, OH 44870

Operated by:Six Flags


Cedar Point Shores sits right next to Cedar Point on the shore of Lake Erie. The water park originally opened in 1988 as Soak City and continued to grow over the years before taking on its current name in 2017.

The lineup includes tube slides, body slides, a mat racer, two river attractions, and a large wave pool. Some of the standout attractions are Point Plummet, Riptide Raceway, and Lake Erie Nor’Easter, along with plenty of areas aimed at families and younger guests.

What really sets Cedar Point Shores apart is the setting. Lake Erie is right next door, while Magnum XL-200 runs straight through the water park. It gives the place a backdrop that is hard to find anywhere else.
