We went to Raging Waters last Saturday, on the second to the last day of the 2014 season. Since cameras and water do not mix, I decided to leave the camera at home. (Thus, the picture-less post). D is a big waterpark fan. We have watched Xtreme Waterparks–his ultimate dream would be to visit Schlitterbahn. Raging Waters is the largest waterpark in California, yet neither of us had been. The impetus for our trip was free tickets courtesy of the OC Register. Actually, we only had two free tickets, so we had to purchase tickets for the kids. I bought those through Goldstar, and printed them out at home.
Even with the two free tickets, it was still an expensive day. We arrived just as it opened, so only the $20 parking lot was open (there is also a $15 lot, which requires a tram ride). We also had to pay $12 for a small locker, mainly to store our wallets/keys. At least we were able to save money by bringing our lunch and eating it in the car. The warm car was actually a welcome respite from the somewhat cool weather that day.
The kids’ favorite ride was Thunder Rapids. We also rode Neptune’s Fury, which was a dark tunnel ride. We also spent a lot of time in the lazy river and wave pool. Hard to believe that our last waterpark trip was when k was 5 and n was 3!
