We enjoyed our first visit to Aquatica recently. It is very different from Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, and appears much smaller, but my kids (both adults) really enjoyed it. There is a great area for children called Walkabout Waters with numerous slides and lots of things to climb.
I don't like water rides, generally, but I was hooked on Roa's Rapids, a variation on a lazy river. You have to wear a lifejacket and once in the water you it just relax and it propels you along, past water fountains and geysers. It was brilliant, and as warm as a bath.
When we went there were few queues for rides, but on the whole there are fewer things to do than at Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. There was plenty of seating, and if you needed shade you could sit under huge umbrellas, although there is less tropical planting for shade than at Typhoon Lagoon, for example, although this is a relatively new park and it will obviously mature as the trees and shrubs become more established.
Definitely worth a visit!
