Your Guide To The Best Water Parks In America!

[@eliasmertens9313]

Can you do a “five year plan if I owned the park” series for some of the independent parks of the United States like Alabama Adventure, Adventureland, Silverwood, etc.?

[@terrancepounds1090]

I love Noah’s Ark, water country, and splashin safari at holiday world. I remembered liking Dorney Park’s water park as well

[@themeparksaustralia1007]

I would love to see some waterpark predictions! Waterparks just aren't talked about enough in the coaster community. Fantastic video!!

[@MrMywildside]

I have visited Water World and loved it! I think Disney’s Blizzard Beach would have been worth a mention on here given its theme of a ski resort melting away, and attractions with names like Summit Plummet and Teamboat Springs.

[@mitchellries256]

Some other honorable mentions I would've given include Disney's Blizzard Beach, Island H2O Live!, Lost Island in Iowa, Hurricane Bay at Kentucky Kingdom, Rapids Waterpark in Florida, Six Flags White Water near Atlanta, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, TX and Raging Waters in San Diemas, California.

[@Ryan_Coastin]

I’ve been to splash country and water country USA and what I love most about both of them is the atmosphere they both offer seclusion from the outside world and bring you into your own little paradise with the heavily wooded surroundings!!!

[@AirtimeProductions]

Awesome video!!! Aquatica and Noah’s Ark are my favorites!

[@MattMcCoasters]

I went back to water country this summer for the first time in ages. I had forgotten how much I loved that place. My wife and son also love water parks probably more than even dry parks.

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

it really is great!

[@profitglen]

YES! Thank you for highlighting Soaky Mtn in TN! I used to live right by the park. It’s a great place and is very affordable!

I can agree with this list, even though I’m not a waterpark type of girl. Also, I agree that Aquatica is a really great name. :)

[@justinchavez9530]

@@KeepRidinCoasters An around of applause is deserved for you Brandon, you did it again! I loved how you explored the different waterparks that are considered the best in America, these waterparks offer a great way to cool off during the hot summer months. I should know, when I was living in California, the place that I went to cool off during a scorching summer day was Knott's Soak City (Buena Park). It brought back some great memories. Now out of all the waterparks mentioned in this Top 10 list, I think the one that's considered to be the best has to be America's Largest Water Park, Water World (Denver, CO). I mean the park features 70 acres with 52 different attractions. Plus, where else can you find a waterpark that has dark-ride segments within their slides. Thanks for letting express my opinion. Until then, catch you on the flip side. - Justin Chavez

[@thecoasterscorpion]

@@justinchavez9530 Well said, Justin!

[@coastercat112]

Great vid, We went to Aquatica Orlando in February, it was AMAZING. Our only downside to it was we only planned 1 day there! If you arrive right at open, you are able to go on most of the slides with no queue

[@brandonbruscher2902]

I agree with these would also add Lost Island sense its actually been ranked by USA today several times.

[@its_jj_maia]

This is why I love this channel because everyone just keeps talking about theme parks and roller coasters that they keep forgetting their sister, Waterparks and Waterslides. Please make another video about this but for theme parks. Not ranking them, but I just wanna know what do u consider the best

[@noahkessler5500]

I would’ve put Noah’s ark in the top 10 but other than that great video can’t wait to see more waterpark videos

[@sonnysinnot7110]

All of these look amazing, but I’ve luckily been to Sian Park and I’d just that it trumps most if not all of these water parks. And the lazy river their I think is the best. Half way through u have an option to go left and ur taken up a lift the it turns into an unexpectedly terrifying water slide, and it goes through an aquarium!

Love the vid! Although I will say typhoon lagoon no longer has the saltwater fish pool. It was filled in and is now an adult sand area. Just thought you’d like to know!

[@zacg_]

It's super disappointing that they closed that. It was not only a unique attraction for a water park but frankly a unique attraction in general. Even if you went snorkeling in an actual reef you aren't likely to find the things included in that attraction.

[@CoasterRanger]

Really great list, well done. Raging Waters in Cali is the only major oversight in my opinion. I would add Hurricane Harbor in Arlington and Los Angeles, Blue Bayou in Lousiana, and San Antonio's Aquatica. SA Aquatica has come a long way the past several years.

[@TheBolligerMabillardLover]

Definitely agree on raging waters and hurricane harbor la

The only one on this list I've been to it Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels TX. It's awesome. I've been to Hurricane Harbor in Arlington Tx. It's pretty good. A few others I've been to were kinda small. Schlitterbahn's water is colder than other water parks because It's next to the Guadalupe River, and uses river water for parts of the park.

[@Ddirhdm233]

So do you know I will need to go there on the Queen Mary two because I live in UK and I live in Southampton

[@jamesm7517]

These are some great water parks I would like to visit, but one that stands out for me and not on this list is Mountain Creek/Action Park. One of the most extreme water parks you will find anywhere. I know about its past so I'm talking about how it is today.

[@ItsSiebay]

I’ve never been a big water park person, but I’ve been to quite a few. None of them are outstanding though. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Water Country USA so I think I may give it a go someday.

We went to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge in June and made soaky mountain one of our visits. It's definitely the best Waterpark I've been to so far. We're from Ohio and live 45 minutes away from Cedar point amusement park and Cedar Shores water park. The amusement park is arguably one of the best but the Waterpark is pretty outdated and needs some updates imo. I wish they'd get some modern slides like soaky mountain has.

Blizzard Beach just for the theming

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

Why? They haven't added a new slide in over 20 years.... Is it a good water park? Sure, but over those 20 years - a lot of parks have gotten much better :)

[@calebeedude5331]

Water parks have never really been my thing, but I go to quite a few of them

[@zacg_]

I love Typhoon Lagoon but they closed Shark Reef so you can't do the snorkeling anymore. Real disappointment if you ask me. Splashin' Safari is astonishingly good. It's one of the reasons that Holiday World is the best bang for your bucket of any theme park in the USA. I would also argue that Hurricane Bay at Kentucky Kingdom is quite good. Deep Water Dive is one of the best slides in the world. My personal favorite water park is Blizzard Beach. While Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels is usually considered the best water park (and Master Blaster is super fun so don't get me wrong here), I think that the theming and use of the mountain at Blizzard Beach is fantastic. You've got to love the inclusion of the ski lift. And Summit Plummet is not only one of thr best water slides in the world but it's done with Disney's great sense of storytelling and visual spectacle.

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

Yes KK’s water park is great! I wanted to add BB, but they haven’t added a new slide is over 20 Years!!!

[@firstflowerinspace]

I was waiting for my home water park- Noah’s Ark! And I get why it didn’t make the true ten though. There is very little ~immersion~. Note for all you Hades 360 credit seekers- go to the superior water park nearby too! (And stay at the Wilderness)

You kind of missed most of the western United States.

[@zacg_]

I'm originally from the west coast and I have to admit that the west coast is lacking in impressive water parks. Oregon is really lacking, especially since the Evergreen Aviation Museum scaled back. Washington has Wild Waves but that isn't close to the level of the parks on this list. California has many small water parks but only Ranging Waters is one that arguably could be included on this list. Las Vegas has small stuff but no one water park that would deserve a mention. And I really don't understand why Arizona , New Mexico or Utah don't have more to offer in terms of large scale water parks. That seems like a missed opportunity (though like California they have several small ones.) And Idaho, Montana and Wyoming don't really have the population bases to support a large scale water park or theme park (though Silverwood is randomly really good.)

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

Not intentionally..: name a water park on the west coast that would beat out these? I can’t think of any.

[@mtndewhirst]

"its hard to believe this water park opened in 2020 and is already on the list of best water parks" isn't that the goal when building a major water park??

@@KeepRidinCoasters fair point. Are there any major ones upcoming that you think could make the list?

Outdoor water parks located on the North East or anywhere that has cold winters are not worth visiting even if it's super hot---- The water are so so so cold that you cant enjoy the park,,, they should have heated water and they don't.
