With summer in peak-season and hotter than ever it is only appropriate that we provide some water park trivia to our Love Orlando Ticket fans.Did You Know? Wet ‘n Wild Orlando was the world's first “official” water park, opening in 1977. It currently remains one of America's only water parks to be open year-round. The winner for the tallest, fastest single-person, free-fall waterslide in the world is Disney’s Blizzard Beach "Summit Plummet" standing at 120-feet tall! Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Orlando is #1 top waterpark in the World with the highest US and World attendance record of 2,059,000 per year. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Orlando is the largest outdoor wave pool in the U.S. at 115 feet wide and about 395 feet long. The Dolphin Lagoon at Discovery Cove® hold 3 million gallons (11.3 million liters) of water. Comparable to filling up four Olympic-size swimming pools! SeaWorld® Orlando's Manta® roller coaster's first plunge provides all the power the flying coaster needs to speed through multiple loops, inversions and twists for the next 3,000+ feet (900-meter).
