You didn't miss much Steph. We qualify as we had 2 small enough kids with us. Fortunately the queue wasn't too long but it still takes an age to load this ride. It is all over in a flash - nice enough but it is just a 30 second swing ride.

I know Angela but don't you just HATE being told you CAN't go on something even if you didn't really want to in the first place. It really amused us at Butlins one year when my daughter was 8 , we were with a friend who is , lets say "vertically challenged" and is only 4'10", we went to go on the bumper cars and the attendant was adamant that my frined was not allowed to go on there as she didn't meet the height requirement, despite the fact she was at the time 48 and had held a full driving license since she was 19, but our 8 yr old was fine, she could go on no problem. It was only because my friend insisted on speaking to a manager and threatened to report them for discrimination he relented and let her on.

Regarding Wet n Wild we find it a bit of a concrete jungle and much prefer Blizzard Beach or typhoon Lagoon. Both my daughter and I got prickly heat in the summer at WnW.

Wet n Wild is a concrete jungle. The white concrete under foot gets very hot aswell. There are some good slides for older kids and adults so its worth a day trip if you've not been before. It doesn't have the same appeal as TL or BB in my opinion - I can happily spend any number of days at either.

We've been to Orlando 9 times and not found time to go to Wet'n'wild yet. We always have enough Disney waterpark days and pools/beaches to go to and just have never fitted it in. It doesn't seem like we've missed too much.

The first time we went to Orlando we went to Typhoon Lagoon 4 times in 2 weeks and that was before Blizzard Beach was built. It has all the Magic of Disney where as Wet n Wild, you could be any where in the world. Dont get me wrong the rides are good, but thats all its got. Weve done Wet n Wild twice in 11 years but never miss the Disney waterparks. Oh and IOA is great I'm sure your kids would love it. My eldest is 8 and he does especially the Spiderman ride.

We were going to go to Wet n Wild the first time we went to Florida, but took one look at it and changed our minds, I don't want to spend the day listening to all the traffic thundering past and breathing in the fumes, when you can go to BB or TL and chill out in a lovely setting.

We all love Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. They are very much child friendly.
I suppose if you don't like themeing then you are going to be happier at Wet n' Wild - the lack of any trees etc is what makes it a concrete mess. I prefer the trees - I like to know I'm still in Florida - we have a Wet n' Wild in the UK.
Also I think you'll find its so crowded because you go in August - now if you went in April/May/September/October like the rest of us you'd be on the water slides with no wait at all. In fact for lack of crowds at BB I recommend early January - we had the place to ourselves.
