I feel like a lot, (if not most,) of Aquatica's business comes from upsells on their SeaWorld tickets. I practically get Aquatica free with my annual pass. Not sure it needs to really compete, so much as offer a reasonably fun day's water park... for a ticket add-on. I think the last thing they added was Ihu's Breakaway Falls, a trap-door drop slide just a couple years ago, and it's a pretty big hit in the park.How will aquatica compete would not be surprised if aquatica adds a water coaster in 2018
Yeah...a hydromagnetic Mammoth correct?
Totally. Or left with grandma.I don't go to waterparks often at all, but I was under the impression the stuff you don't care about people stealing - towels, floppy hats, sun screen, bottle water, maybe a snack - go in a beach bag that ends up on a lounge chair somewhere.
At the time, plans called for an 8-person coaster. Trade names were not mentioned.
Wait do people not use lockers at waterparks? I have never been to a waterpark where using a locker wasn't a must... Where do you store your clothes... belongings? Haha. I've never not used a locker at a waterpark. Is that even an option? How do people live!!
I'm thinking more of being bare foot at a urinal. Is it water or pee on the floor? Just typing that makes me shudder.
None yet.Are there examples of 8-person rafts on the market? 6-person is the largest I can see from ProSlide in either traditional family tub, or "Cloverwheel"
Usually when I go to a water park, I leave my clothes in the car and only take the essentials with me although it's a bold move to leave my phone, wallet, car keys and wedding ring in a bag under a towel on a sunbed.

This park is going to NEED that with the popularity of the first water coaster...guaranteed.
My usual Water Park situation at parks like Blizzard Beach or Typhoon has been put my stuff in a locker, and go back to it if I need my wallet for buying things... I don't use my towel until I am getting changed and leaving... as I just air dry haha. I also never grab one of the sunbeds or lounge chairs, I just roam and ride as many slides as I can.

What, no sun in sunny southern Scotland ?I think this is why it's vital that Tapu Tapu allows you to have a credit card on your wrist as it will streamline your day as you're not going back and forth to your locker any time you want to buy something and from Universal's point of view, without the hassle of going back and forth to your locker, you'll probably be inclined to buy more.
You better believe, I'm grabbing a sunbed or chair. If I'm only going to experience the sun for 2 weeks that year, I'm going to enjoy every second of it.![]()
For once it's sunny in Scotland today.What, no sun in sunny southern Scotland ?![]()
A few suggestions:
-If your car has keyless entry- leave the keys in your glove box or under a seat.
-If your car doesn't have keyless entry- you can always get one of those magnet key boxes and put it under an obscure wheel well. You can get a key cut at Home Depot that will open the door- but won't start the car for just a couple bucks (this would also work in case you accidentally left keys in car). Then you can again just put your keys somewhere in your car. Heck- you could even put your actual key in some obscure area of your trunk.
-Just take your id and a credit card and leave the wallet. They're both waterproof and you can throw in a swim suit pocket. Or if you don't have pockets with covers- grab one of those tacky card carriers to go around your neck.
Outside of your phone- you never need to bring a single thing of value inside a water park.
With or without Tapu- that'll save you some aggravation if some douchesicle decided to ruin your day.

If she's staying onsite at a hotel then maybe, but that's pretty close to opening. Those may be just media or VIP days.It's almost always a rental car so I don't think that's going to be an option but I really need to get in the habit of getting a locker as I'm probably too trusting.
It's actually been a great day so far. Shut the shop early to enjoy the sun and the grand national.
My wife got sent this so any help would be greatly appreciated:

Haha, as much as it rains and is cloudy here in Victoria BC Canada, our summers are gorgeous. So, it's definitely no Scotland. You get that sun glen coco!
