Aquatica Orlando Aquatica Orlando took the #1 spot as the best outdoor water park in North America in this year’s USA Today 10Best awards. It previously won Best Outdoor Water Park in 2021 and 2018. Now open, Aquatica’s newest attraction is Reef Plunge which sends guests sliding through eye-catching translucent cutouts and rings, and twists and turns through over 330 feet of fiberglass, zooming past a vibrant array of marine life in the new dynamic habitat. Commerson’s dolphins, leopard sharks, sardines, and a variety of other cold-water fish will call Reef Plunge home. Aquatica also announced several park enhancements this year including space for guests to take a break and relax in any of the 1,000 new loungers and beach chairs that offer increased shade and comfort. Hungry thrill seeks can also grab a slice at the new quick-service pizza place opening in July or quench their thirst at the brand-new beach bar, in addition to enjoying exciting new upgrades to the popular Banana Beach Cookout. Of the best outdoor water park recognition USA Today noted “…Aquatica Orlando draws 1.5 million visitors per year while seamlessly integrating sea life into rides. Its signature attraction, Reef Plunge, is an enclosed tube slide that passes through a pool of playful, black and white Commerson’s dolphins. Guests can also take a leisurely raft ride down Loggerhead Lane, through colorful exotic fish. Aquatica's South Seas theme is further enhanced by 60,000 lush, tropical plants covering its 60 acres.” Kyle Miller, President of Aquatica Orlando, said, “We opened our doors at Aquatica in 2008 and over the past several years have been honored to be consistently recognized as one of the top water parks in the country. We are thrilled that water park enthusiasts once again chose to recognize Aquatica Orlando as number one and look forward to continuing to provide our guests the high level of thrills, fun, relaxation and adventure that they have come to enjoy with us.” Aquatica San Antonio Deep in the heart of Texas is Aquatica San Antonio, a tropical resort-style waterpark with everything from serene beaches and hide-aways to extreme slides and rides - all designed to help beat the sweltering summer heat. New for 2022 is Riptide Race, now open! This pipeline ride, the first of its kind in San Antonio, combines everything guests love about Aquatica’s existing rides with a new layer of fun - good-natured competition by featuring dueling side-by-side flumes and low walls to give racers full view of the competition. Set atop of 51-foot tower, guests board a two-person raft and race through 565 feet of slides. Guests can challenge each other and vie for victory while speeding through each turn, spin, and loop to see which team feels the rush of victory as they blast into a cool refreshing splashdown. The park’s signature ride, Stingray Falls, takes four-seat rafts down twists and turns to an underwater grotto, where guests come face-to-fin with stingrays and tropical fish – the only ride of its kind in the world. Guests can experience stingrays in other ways as well at Aquatica’s interactive attraction, known as Ke-Re Reef. Featuring 120,000 gallons of saltwater, Ke-Re Reef is home to cownose stingrays, Southern stingrays, and tropical fish. The most immersive program is the “Stingray Encounter”, where guests feed and wade with stingrays inside the attraction. They can also get a close view of the stingrays from a wall at the edge of the pool. Aquatica San Antonio President Byron Surrett said, “There is no better place in the Lone Star state than Aquatica to have fun in the sun this summer while staying cool and enjoying great food and drinks all day long. Plus, guests this year can also take a break from the crowd and enjoy our additional private cabana experiences with concierge services to make the day that much more relaxing and worry free.” In addition to the all-new Riptide Race, this year Aquatica San Antonio premiered a new bar, Turi’s Beach Bar, adjacent to the Big Surf Shores wave pool. This full-service bar features a variety of beers, mixed drinks, cocktails, and frozen drinks for guests to enjoy at the bar or poolside. Also new, even more private cabanas scattered throughout the beautiful park offer a shaded private space and give guests a place to call base camp during a day of fun in the sun, with select cabanas even offering the convenience of personalized concierge service.
