Suit Up: Two New Water Parks

OK, one park isn't exactly new. The park formerly known as Wyandot Lake, which Six Flags ran for awhile, closed in 2006 and reopened recently as Zoombezi Bay. The name probably has a double meaning (assuming its officials enjoy wordplay as much as I) in that guests zoom down the slides and can also visit the adjacent Columbus Zoo. The Ohio property also offers rides such as the Sea Dragon junior wooden coaster at Jungle Jack's Landing amusement park. The Columbus Zoo (which also boasts an aquarium and a golf course) operates the whole shebang. New Hampshire has a new, if relatively small, water park that recently opened as well. Liquid Planet offers a couple of body slides and a good-sized interactive water "sprayground."
