Today we went to Aquatica, this is the water park by Seaworld.  It's pretty new and it's based on New Zealand, with this really bad Australian accent over the P.A. system all day.  I don't think these Americans know the difference between Aussies and Kiwis.  They kept saying Kiora in an Aussie accent!  Clueless.  The park was really good though.  Lots of different slides and heaps of stuff you could go on by yourself without parents.  My favourite slides were the pink, yellow and green ones.  There wasn't much queuing.  There was a slide you could go through that went through the dolphins pool, you were in a clear tube and you can see the dolphins swimming around you.  There was the Tassie Twister which we called the Tassie Toilet because you went down the tube and popped out in this dish and spiralled around until you went down the middle (just like going down the s-bend).  Hoo-roo run was the family raft ride.  It was unreal.  You went down the tube and went up the sides and spun, some of it in total darkness, then under a shower of water and dumped you at the end.  We had lunch at the Banana beach Cookout, you got a wristband for the whole day, we had burgers, chicken legs, salad, hot dogs, we had dinner before we left.  The park closed at 1700 and we shopped on the way home.  Lexie got some jeans and runners, Jack got some really nice Nikes.  We all had a Wendy shake and went home happy.
