    Default Wait Times At Water Parks?

    Can anyone give me approximate wait times for rides at the water parks? For instance, during peak times, is it normal to have to wait 120 minutes or longer for the popular slides? Thanks!

    for the most part, the wait times in water park attractions vary on the season. another element that can alter the wait time is the temperature of the day that you go to the water park, because when it's somewhere in the mid to upper 80s, it can be quite long. and wait times also vary on the time that you experience an attraction, if you go to a major attraction such as Humunga Kowabunga, it's best to experience it as soon as the park opens.

    They change constantly on any given busy day. We were at Typhoon Lagoon at the end of August, sunny and hot, and some slides had a forty-five minute wait not long after opening. That was the longest we saw that day. But it was some minutes before we found enough empty tubes to take a family ride around the lazy river, too. The park closed early due to a wave of afternoon thunderstorms rolling in.

    To echo what others have said...

    Your wait times will vary between park, time of year, and weather. Last time we went to BB, every slide had a 90-120 minute wait. We were there all day and got to do 2 slides. On top of that, we looked at the temperature...it was 108 degrees at the park! And that's why I don't like going in July any more.

    My experience at Blizzard Beach was on a 95 degree July day....the lines were AWFUL! The wait on Summit Plummet was 2+ hours (no, we didn't wait). There was absolutely no where to sit, no where put our stuff and no where to eat our lunch. I would HIGHLY recommend getting to the water parks as early as possible to help avoid the problems we had. I think it would have been a lot more fun if we had...
