The original water park, Wet 'n Wild, returns to its 1970s roots with a unique retro attraction. Like other bowl rides, Disco H2O sends riders on a raft--in this case, four-person cloverleaf tubes--racing down a slide and into a large funnel where they swish around a few times before getting flushed out the bottom. Inside its new bowl ride, however, Wet 'n Wild turns on flashing lights, spins a mirror ball, and pumps up the disco beat. Polyester leisure bathing suits are optional.
