Lonely Planet review for Adventure Island
This 25-acre water park, run by Anheuser-Busch, has 16 different areas, including Key West Rapids, on which rafters go down a six-story twist, ending in a 60ft-long pool. Other slide rides include the Aruba Tuba (some portions are in total darkness) and Rambling Bayou, where you go through weather ‘effects’ areas (some foggy, others have heavy rain). There’s also a 9000-sq-ft swimming pool with waterfalls, diving platforms and tube slides. And don’t forget the 76ft, free-fall body slide, Tampa Typhoon.
