Out of the four water parks listed, we only went to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach - And both of them were great! # .

I don't really have a favourite water park. I loved both of them and can't wait to go there again! # .

The best part of Blizzard Beach was the big "ski slope" slide.
It was sooooo big, it towered over the rest of the park!
At first, I thought the "ski slope" slide went down part of the way and then shot up at the bend! # #.
(How Stupid)!!!!!

The best part of Typhoon Lagoon was the big wave pool.
I loved the "Miss Tilly" shrimp boat that towers over the pool! # .

LOVE the water parks!!!!!!!

Our favourite is Typhoon Lagoon, we just love that wave pool. It is incredible.

Blizzard Beach is great too, best bit there for us is Teamboat Springs.

My family loved both Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach. Typhoon Lagoon for the big wave pool when surfs up & Blizzard Beach for the variety of rides & the themeing.

We loved the waterparks
Did all 3
Blizzard Beach
Todd and Ted both went on summit plummit
The themeing of this park is great with all the ice, snow and ski lift
Typhoon Laggon
Loved the wave pool here make sure little ones where life jackets the waves can get very strong
Snorkeling in Shark reef is great fun
Wet and Wild
This park has lots of different rides and a wave pool which is a lot smaller than Typhoon Lagoon
It a great place to unwind and cool off .

Only did 2 as it rained alot!!!!!

Typhoon Lagoon
Wicked really lovely, to chill and relax, some of the rides were cool and the wave machine was superb.  Lazy river as sooooo niceeee... :o)

Wet n Wild
HATED IT, packed, dirty, horibble, horibble, horrible.  It was so busy and the ques were massive.  The place seemed really scummy like a park in greece or something, so not what I expected in the states.  It stormed after we had been there for an hour so we left a complete waste of money..... :o(

We went in December 2001 and LOVED IT -

No queues, very very clean, superb rides, nice music and friendly staff. We went twice during the holiday because we didn't have &quot;plus's&quot; on the hoppers (only Blizzard Beach was open).
I'd give Wet'n'Wild a big thumbs up, especially as it's part of the 4 Park Flex Ticket which includes unlimited access for 14 days to both Universal Parks and SeaWorld.

we have been to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. &nbsp;I didn't even want to go to BB, I thought the theme was stupid, and I wouldn't like it - well I was totally wrong, &nbsp;we had the best time there and were really disappointed in Typhoon Lagoon later in the week.

BB has a superb area for kids called Tykes Peak which Katie just loved - it has proper little slides for the kids to try, &nbsp;with inner tubes and everythign just brilliant! &nbsp;They have something similiar at TL, &nbsp;but it's not as good, and seemed to involve a lot of squirting water at people which Katie hates.

And the Teamboat Springs ride at BB is just superb- the equivalent ride at Typhoon Lagoon is very short and nowhere near as fun, &nbsp;I am completely converted to Blizzard Beach now. &nbsp;The only downside is all those steps to get to the top of the hill, &nbsp;or quite a long wait for the chairlift.

, HI All
Just carrying on the water park theme. One of our group has heard that one on the water parks is going to be closed all the way through November, but can't remember which one. Any ideas? #

River Country has been closed all year.
Out of the other two, Typhoon Lagoon shut at the end of last October.
I'm only guessing here, but If TL was shut last year I would say that BB will be shut this year. But it's only a guess on my part.
