点评:This park surprised us! We bought the Twilight ticket (you save $10 per ticket when you visit for just the last three hours the park is open, usually 3-6 PM). We weren’t expecting too much, but we were pretty surprised! The slides were a lot of fun, we didn’t have to walk far to get to different slides. The crowds weren’t too bad, and there weren’t any long lines for anything. The staff was mostly pretty nice.
The slides themselves:
Dune Runner (yellow, 1-2 people) was my favorite. It’s a 70-foot tall slide that has three drops, each getting bigger. It’s the same ride as Midnight Marauder, except the latter (which is orange) is in an enclosed tube during the drops, which was still fun, but it felt like we were going to hit our head on the top of the tube sometimes.
Queen Anne’s Revenge and Rogue Wave (both of which are round raft slides, where you can go with 3-6 people) were pretty fun. They are on their own tower, just across from the main slide tower. Queen Anne’s Revenge is a pretty tame slide, but it has a small drop at the end. Rogue Wave starts off calm, but then it goes down a drop (I think it’s over 50 feet) and up a wall. This was the scariest slide we did at the park.
Wild Horse Run and Storm Chaser are pretty fun, but they aren’t as thrilling. Riptide is similar to Rogue Wave, except you ride in a two person raft (front-and-back). It was one of our favorites. There are also two drop slides, a kids play area, and a lazy river, but we didn’t do any of them.
Compared to Volcano Bay, which we visited last month and I gave a 4 star review, we had slightly more fun here, but I still think Volcano Bay is the better park. It has more slides, two rivers, more pools, and better food. It also is safer and more convenient (the tubes were brought up the tower for us at all of the rides, although there was more walking). Both parks are still very good water parks and a lot of fun.
翻译:这个主题公园让我们大吃一惊!我们购买了“黄昏时段门票”(在公园开放的最后三个小时内入园,每张票能省10美元,通常是下午3点到6点)。我们原本没抱太大期望,结果却惊喜不已!那些滑梯真的很有趣,而且从一处滑梯走到另一处也并不远。游客数量也还算合理,几乎没有需要排长队的项目。工作人员大多都挺友善的。
至于那些滑梯:
我最喜欢的就是“沙丘速滑”(黄色滑梯,可供1至2人同时使用)。这是一个高70英尺的滑道,共有三次落差,每次落差的高度都在增加。它的构造与“午夜掠夺者”滑道类似,只不过后者(橙色的那个)在出现落差时会处于一个封闭的管道中。那种体验也挺有趣的,不过有时感觉我们的头好像会撞到管道顶部。
“安妮女王的复仇”和“叛逆波浪”也相当好玩(这两者都是圆形筏式滑道,可以容纳3到6人一起游玩)。它们位于一座独立的塔楼上,就在主滑道塔楼的对面。“安妮女王的复仇”是一条相当平缓的滑道,不过末端有个小落差。“狂浪激流”一开始很平静,但随后会有一个很大的落差(我觉得有50英尺以上),接着还要爬上一面高墙。这是我们在这个游乐园里体验过最刺激的滑道了。
“野马奔腾”和“风暴追逐者”也挺好玩的,不过没那么惊险刺激。“激流勇进”和“狂浪激流”类似,只是需要两人同乘一艘橡皮艇(一前一后)。这是我们最喜欢的项目之一。此外还有两条带有落差的滑道、一个儿童游乐区,以及一条缓慢流动的漂流河。不过我们一个都没玩。
相比我们上个月去过的、我给了4星评价的火山湾水上乐园,我们在这里玩得稍微开心一些,但我依然认为火山湾是更好的乐园。那里有更多的滑道、两条人工河、更多泳池,食物也更好吃。此外,它也更安全、更方便(所有游乐项目的滑水道都是工作人员帮我们送到塔楼上的,虽然需要走的路稍多一些)。这两座水上乐园都非常不错,玩起来也极其有趣。
