Shark/Hurricane Harbor/Freebies/Photo Tips

Yesterday, I went to Hurricane Harbor with my Elizabeth and her son, Emanuel. It was a treat for the kids to have someone else come along for the ride.

It was a super hot day, so it was perfect for a water park outing. We arrived promptly at opening time (9:30a.m.) and got in the extremely long purchase-ticket-line, before getting in line to enter the park. This was a precursor of what the park held in store for us all day long.

The kids wanted to go on the Tak It Eze Creek which loops you in a 360 circle, but that didn't open until 11:00. We decided to go on the 4 Winds, but it was filled to capacity. There were no tubes anywhere to be found!

We then headed over to Discovery Bay where they got drenched under a bucket of splashing water that comes down every 20 minutes. I didn't get wet as I was taking photos. Liam rode the orange slide, while Kaylie went on the blue. Emanuel was too tall for the slides.

After a while, we headed on the Wave Pool at The Blue Lagoon. That was fun!

The Tornado ride had a waiting line of over 1 hour 30 minutes and Bada Bing ride had no tubes available. Hurricane Mountain had tubes so the kids rode the mountain 2 times.

We went out of the park to grab lunch, then returned and went on the Tak It Eze Creek (you guessed it! Without a tube!) 2 times. Emanuel wanted to ride the 4 winds, but again, there was one tube and the line was incredibly long. Instead we headed over to the Wave Pool once more for an hour then left.

I had to rush home to drop off Elizabeth and then make a mad dash for Liam's counseling appointment in Moorestown. We were late in excess of 15 minutes.

Afterwards, we had to go to Costco to get some groceries, which meant we got home around 8:00 p.m. Boy, was I beat from all the running around!

Here are some photos for you viewing pleasure.
