Go wild at wet 'n' wild

Advantages: Kids love it
Disadvantages: Very wet!

...for the faint hearted, dropping as it does, the very brave down an 80 foot vertical flume! For the less brave, or younger visitors, there are more sedate flumes, as well as tyre rides where adult and child can ride down together. Wet ?n? Wild now has 3 different raft flumes, including the new Abyss which uses double tyres and takes riders plunging down a hair raising descent. There is a wave pool, which is a normal pool, but when the signal sounds, swimmers know that the waves will start, so have the option of staying in the pool, or getting out. The water park also has a Jacuzzi, so it?s a good place to rest and let the bubbles soothe you before the next ride. All around the area there are loungers and places to sit, almost like a pool when you are on holiday, so it?s not all hectic. Refreshments? Food and drink can be bought upstairs...

It's Wet and it's wild!

Advantages: Good Fun, great day out
Disadvantages: None

...Wet and Wild is a water park in the Universal district of Orlando, it?s one that can be paid for at the gate or it comes as part and parcel of the Orlando Flexticket. The slides are split into 5 different types, although they aren?t located in batches, they?re spread around the park. Super Thrills This section includes; The Storm, Bomb Bay, Der Stuka and Mach 5. We all went on Mach 5, which is a slide where you take a mat up to the top and slide down facing forward on your stomach. There are three slides that all start in the same place, so we could all go down together, although getting onto the mat and launching yourself off is easier said than done, and is certainly not an elegant procedure. I found it uncomfortable because I had to hold myself to one side to avoid getting a friction burn on my leg, because I hadn...

Review of Wet 'n Wild, Orlando

wet 'n' mild.

Advantages: genuine fun to be had on some of the rides, still quite unique to the UK.
Disadvantages: expensive, dirty, poor air conditioning, and risk of slowing to a stop on some of the tamer rides.

...The North of England is served quite badly when it comes to thrill seeker attractions, and after the unfortunate closure of Metroland, this is often cited as the only one left. The trouble is, it does still rather look like last man standing... It's not quite as shabby as it has started to look in recent years, but is very much looking like an attraction run on a shoestring, which is odd, given it costs nearly a tenner for entry. Timing is everything tho' - you are likely to spend a couple of hours at the place, and if those hours happen to be at the end of the day, then entry is cheaper. Don't get me wrong, there is lots of fun for a young family to have at wet and wild, with the breathtaking kamikaze, and the superb Black Hole, but a lot of the problems of wet and wild wouldn't take a huge amount of effort to correct. Take...

Wet N Wild International drive

Advantages: fantastic place weather and rides
Disadvantages: none

...What a fanatstic time we had when we visited wet n wild in fact it was so good we went back again during our final few days. One important thing I found about doing all the parks is that you need to have some "chill out" days so you could catch your breath, this is definately one of them. The park is very easy to find on international drive and the car park is just across the road. We went in October so there were no queues to worry about. The Rides Lots of great rides and all very accessable - not too many steps to climb (like Blizzard Beach). The Storm This was the newest ride at the park and was the quietest - no waiting - this is basically a swirling body coaster which throws you out at the end - great fun. Mach 5 This was the choice of 3 different flumes that twisted and twirled around different courses - there...

Wet N Wild

Advantages: Fantastic Rides, park is suitable for all ages
Disadvantages: None

...Wet N Wild is a must see if you are visiting Orlando, Florida. It is located adjacent to Universal Orlando. It features a full day of fun for the whole family. When I visited Orlando, I stayed in the Las Palmas Hotel that is opposite Wet N Wild so I did have the experience of visiting the water park.

...Wet ?n? Wild is located in North Shields and is the UK?s largest water park. It is located 1 mile from the north side entrance/exit of the Tyne Tunnel on the A187 North Shields road.

Give your facea healthy glow

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: SEE REVIEW

...****Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder **** Being completely honest i didn't really need to get this product but i was feeling a little down in the dumps so my friend bought this plus a couple of other products from the same company for me to try. **About brand** Like a lot of products i buy this is an American company. I would class them as drugstore brand make up and as such the products can be a bit hit or miss. **Product** This is packaged similar to other bronzers i have tried such as the collection 2000 one. It comes in a round tub with a see through ,screw on lid. The packaging is nothing spectacular but it is adequate and it feels quite sturdy so i don't think it would crack or anything. One thing i really liked about this product is that you get four different shades meaning you can use them all individually to create...

Are you ready to get wet

Advantages: Wet and wild
Disadvantages: Wet and wild

...of the other things at Wet N Wild. ~BUBBA TUB~ Ride down a big bumpy slide in a great big raft with a few other people. It is most fun to watch the faces of the people in front of you as they get on and go over the first drop. ~KNEE SKI~ This is my favourite thing at Wet N Wild. You have a little mini-surf board, life vest and padded headgear. You are handed a water-ski handle which is connected to a pulley system that runs around a big lake at the back of the park. Then you are pulled into the water kneeling on your board and you have to hold on for dear life and steer with your knees. Fantastic, if you can do it. There are some other things like a kids play area and plenty more slides. There are also places to eat and drink. They also have all day lockers, towels & inner tubes for rent. There are sunloungers all over, but these...

WET ! WET !! WET !!!

Advantages: Not much
Disadvantages: A Waste of time

...WET (XBOX360) Wet is an action packed third person shooter through the eyes of a female samurai wielding badass, named Rubi. Its grind house cinema graphics set it distinctively apart from other shooters of this genre. It has more gun toting slow motion gun play since the matrix and bullet-time is back! The lead character Rubi is the kind of gal who really doesn't care if she creates some dead bodies as long as there is fat cheque to collect at the end of a mission. Missions include finding brief cases, executions and revenge. Wet is a straight forward action game split up into twelve chapters which will take around 6-8 hours to complete. After which challenge mode will unlock, where you will play in isolated maps from the single player campaign to obtain the highest score possible. Points are given by...

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...
