Any water parks BETTER than the WDW ones?

[Papa Deuce]

How about Aquatica at Universal?

Happy to have recommendations.

Thanks.

Aquatica is at Sea World. Here's some reviews from Trip Advisor:

Wet n Wild is up near Universal. Reviews:

I haven't been to Aquatica but have seen it. It's very colorful and seems more open. Neither it nor Wet n Wild have the vegetation that the Disney parks have.

Sorry, and thanks... I know Aquatica was at Sea World....

Better depends on what you are looking for. Wet -n- wild has what is probably a better stable of rides and slides (especially in the thrill department), but it will be to the Disney waterparks as a thrill-ride amusement park is to a Disney theme park.

The Disney waterparks have the best landscaping,are full of trees,great theming and good slides.Aquatica is the newest,has a theme but lacks the lush feel of the Disney parks since it has less shaded areas and is smaller.Wet n Wild has a great collection of slides plus a lake where you can knee ski,it has little to no trees and no real theme.I'm happy at whatever one I'm at but probably lean to the Disney parks as favorites,especially Blizzard Beach since it has a better slide selection than Typhoon,however Typhoon probably has my favorite slide in Crush n Gusher.

I want to start out by saying that the Disney parks are beautiful and are incredible. I think if you are just doing Disney there parks are great......the lazy rivers are awesome, and the big slide at BB is one of the most painful and scary things I've ever done. I went to Aquatica with my 7 yr old daughter a few months ago and it was an incredible experience. There was nothing in the park she wouldn't do so it was so great for both of us. I doubt I will ever get her on the big slide at Blizzard Beach. If I had teenagers I would go to Wet and Wild but for a great experience with kids of all ages I would stick with Disney.
