For the thrill seeking visitors, Aquatica is the home to endless amounts of water slides and flumes that spin you around and get you drenched with water. One ride that guests seem to love the most is the Dolphin Plunge, where you are able to plunge down one of two tubes right through a lagoon where dolphins are playing and will be swimming along with you.

From the kiddy section to the extreme rides, Aquatica is jam packed with state of the art water slides and even more attractions that will have your adrenaline pumping faster than its ever pumped before!
Aquatica Water Rides
Cutback Cove & Big Surf Shores
One of the most important and unique features of Aquatica is the Cutback Cove & Big Surf Shores wave pools. Many people might wonder whats so special about two wave pools, little do they know these wave pools are side by side and you wont be able to find any similar attraction anywhere in the world! If you cant decide if you want an intense ride or a laid back swim this is the place for you, because you are able to enjoy both!
Dolphin Plunge
Anyone can tell that the Dolphin Plunge is one of the main rides in Aquatica, it sends its riders for a fierce spin in the tubes, but that’s not all! The tubes turn clear all of a sudden and you are swimming with the dolphins! Being able to swim with these graceful creatures is an amazing event that not many people get to do. Slide down as the dolphins swim along with you as fast as they can! This ride is one of the best in the Orlando Area.
Kata’s Kookaburra Cove
For the kiddies who cant make it on the big rides this year around, there is always Kata’s Kookoburra Cove where children can jump right in and play in the designated children’s area with water sprouts and silly rides, not to mention the beginner’s body slide where the little ones slide down a less intimidating water slide with a very safe life jacket. If your child is under 48″ in height this is the best place for them to enjoy themselves in Aquatica.
Loggerhead Lane
