Volcano Bay Review -- split personality park

[Disxuni]

At any rate, I don't know any people from Florida that are going swimming in 70 degree water. I used to swim in water in the 70's and even 60's when I lived in Mass years ago. I'm assuming all the water at these theme parks are heated. If the pools at the resorts are heated, I can't imagine them not heating the waterparks.

Well, as a Floridian who's lived here for almost the entire life, I can say I've been to different springs at least a few times each summer. Some of the more popular springs can sometimes close due to capacity by a certain time. I've had moments while I was younger when it would be 10am and we'd try a couple of parks on holidays and they would be closed already. While it may seem crazy to some people, it is something a lot of people like to do. It can definitely get hot enough to justify the cold waters, especially since you eventually can get used to it. However, a lot of people go for the tubing more than anything and some people use wet suits since a lot of these springs have beautiful boils and like to dive.

Yes, a lot of pools are heated (in general), because unlike spring water it can be unpredictable. Spring although cold, always says at the same temperature, where as other forms of water will drop when the air temperature drops. However, at a certain point they do close it, which is why occasionally water parks and water rides close due to refurbishment. It maybe warm, but if you get out, it will be freezing and that isn't a good feeling. So, they rather use the time to close and do a quick refurb.
