Ah, Wet 'n Wild. Brings back a lot of memories from growing up in Central FL. You're right that the tourists seem to prefer buying the multi-park passes from Disney etc. and then sticking to those water parks. But Wet 'n Wild is the original thing and preferred by the locals.

Did they get you on the Bomb Bay?

And we Floridians prefer to cater our water park trips from Publix, not Walgreen's!
