This include Buccaneer Beach and Crocodile Cal’s Caribbean Beach House. You can also take a dip in the Hurricane Bay wave pool! Of course you may be looking to go down a few water slides. If you have never gone down a water slide before, then start off with the Bamboo Chutes. The Bamboo Chutes are smaller water slides. You can also check out the Hammerhead, Calypso Cannonballs, and Bahama Blast water slides. When you are ready to try a huge water funnel, you can try the Tornado water slide.
If you get hungry during the day, there are plenty of places to get something to eat in the park. If you are looking to get a meal, you can check out Beachside Burgers, Coronado’s Subway.

If this is the case, then you can check out Big Top Funnel Cakes, Cold Stone Limited, Dockside Fries, Liberty Funnel Cake, and The Ice House. It is recommended that you go on the rides before you eat. If you are planning to on any rides after you eat, wait awhile to let your stomach settle. This will keep you from getting sick.
