I'd recommend you hop over to the SeaWorld page. There are a lot of great threads over there.

Hi Sandy. Aquatica is our favourite water park.The rides are really good. From experience the strategy that we used on our last visit worked well. If you have a car don't waste time renting a locker leave your change of clothes in the car. Get there for opening. They let you in a bit before. They hold ropes at the start of different main paths - look at the map online beforehand and choose which ride you are heading to first. We don't bother settling in an area but just move round.My advice is to do all the main rides first. Then move onto areas like the wave pools, Roa's Rapids and Walkabout Waters. They have plenty of capacity so wait until you have done the other rides that will have long queues. It would be worth getting life jackets for Roa's Rapids as it is very fast. Warning exiting it is a tricky process! We fitted in everything and left the park at lunch-time when it was getting really busy. Last summer my children were 12 and 8. They had a great time. I'm sure you will enjoy.

Great advice. We are headed in a couple of weeks for our first Aquatica trip and this is very helpful. Thank you!!!!
