Enter a water park when you are prepared to beat the summer heat. Wet and wild fun is provided by screamingly fast roller coasters and slick slides. For the young or faint of heart, wave pools and calm boat rides are also available. Here are some of our favorite aquatic recreation spots:
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, King Cobra, and Jackson, New Jersey
You do not mind a little snake, do you? What about a huge one? Although it will not bite, the King Cobra at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Jackson, New Jersey, will give you a good scare. The massive, red-and-white cobra’s body is enclosed by riders as it races along while arching 256 feet in the air. You are launched out of the snake’s open mouth once your speed increases. You are repeatedly driven back up and underneath those terrifying fangs by the momentum, the slick surface, and the water. This is one that not even a snake charmer could escape.
