Ive been to Aquatica in Orlando, Pretty much a place for family fun. Don't expect any great slides or anything. But Blizzard Beach is by far the best water park that I've been to.....next to Atlantis over in the Bahamas.
Rod... Rapids has changed. They have done a lot in the past few years. Might worth checking it out again. Plus you can drop on in.. I'm less than 2 mins away from it.
