Water Mania is a stripped-down version of its bigger brothers, Wet 'n Wild and Disney's Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Fortunately, this smaller approach is reflected in ticket prices, which are USD19.95 for adults and USD16.95 for children 3-9. However, you'll hardly notice the difference once you dive right in and get your feet wet! More than 36 acres of water fun await with wave pools, Tot's Town for the kids and plenty of watery diversions. Review © 2007, Wcities |
