Wild Adventures - Valdosta, Georgia - Family Water and Theme Park

Wild Adventures is a large-scale family water and theme park located in Valdosta, Georgia. It features a wide variety of rides and attractions that cover many bases. Amusement park style thrill rides, water rides, live action shows, games, and hands-on animal encounters that are designed to be both educational and fun for guests of all ages.

The rides cover a number of different intensity levels and encompass several different categories from thrill rides, to family rides, to children's rides. The highest intensity rides, including most of the park's collection of roller coasters, are the thrill rides. Some of the most popular of these include the Boomerang looping roller coaster, the Aviator swing ride, the Cheetah 90-foot wooden roller coaster, and Double Shot vertical drop ride.

The family rides category is the place to look for rides that are appropriate for guests and groups of all ages, including children and families. Here is where many of the classic, traditional amusement park rides can be found as well. The Century Ferris Wheel, the Shoo Fly Carousel, and the Tilt-a-Weevil add a nostalgic touch of class to the park. Attractions like the Ant Farm Express roller coaster, the Fly Swatter, and the Dragon Flyers add fun, unique touches of color and excitement to any visit. A kiddie section featuring rides especially for young children is also part of the mix.

Another highly popular part of a visit to Wild Adventures is a visit to any one of the park's many water rides located both around the park and within the special Splash Island area. Some are water-based rides that are part of many people's idea of a complete theme park experience. For instance, Tasmanian River Rapids is a traditional white water rafting ride while Blackfoot Falls and the Frontier Flume are the park's answers to the classic log flume experience. However, others like the Banzai Pipelines, Kalani Blasters, and the Wahee Cyclone are water slide type attractions in every sense of the word. Paradise River and Catchawave Bay are low-key, relaxing, water park-style ways to beat the heat - also part of the Splash Island.

Animal exhibits and presentations are also a big part of the unique atmosphere of Wild Adventures and are located within several different areas of the park facility. There are also many available opportunities for guests to actually interact with the animals throughout their day-long visit. Birds, mammals, and reptiles are all well represented. There are a number of designated areas throughout the park dedicated specifically to the animals such as the Lorikeet Landing Aviary, the Giraffe Feeding Station, the Snake House, and the Furry Friends Petting Zoo as well. Fun educational shows and presentations give guests even more chances to learn about the animals and include the Creature Feature, the Tiger Splash Bash, and a show dedicated to a look at North American predators.

Those who enjoy a little friendly competition or the chance to play challenging games during a visit to an amusement park won't be able to resist Wild Adventures' additional attractions. Enjoy a number of midway-style carnival games and a full video arcade. Also available are a beautiful miniature golf course and a go-kart track.
