What’s up dev. I was the guy with the long beard that you spoke with briefly by the lazy river when this incident happened right in front of us. My family is still in shock from this. I went to guest relations before we left to tell them what had happened and the most they were willing to do was giving us tickets to come back which I told them we were not returning after this. I didn’t get an apology until the very end of the conversation. You are so right when you said there is no order at this water park. For anyone reading this don’t waste your time or money.
The apology should've come from those lazy, disrespectful parents
Wow! That’s really disappointing. We had annual passes there prior to Covid and it was great.
What you said is true you get what you pay for
Dev Bro yes that place for my family. They didn’t give it to considering I live in Pensacola fl. They owed me and family a rain day. I had the paper that gave me a free day for us all. But they wouldn’t make good on this rain check. I said keep it and went to volcano bay it’s the best water park in Orlando. Thanks for all your reviews they are knowledgeable and helpful. There is a reason you don’t go here it’s because they are horrible.
I use to work at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and it would happen often. We would have to refund all the guests. It was a pain in the butt. 🤦🏾♀️
As someone who works for Universal and spends some time with team at Volcano Bay…that is not tolerated AT all! That mortifies me! I know in the kiddie pool…accidents do happen. When they do, Universal closes that whole area down, turns off the water, and cleans the mess. That’s part of safety is sanitation. Don’t even get me started at the ones who’ll go off to a bush in a ride queue at one of the regular parks!! I get not wanting to get out of line but for crying out loud…
I work for universal too ❤
Yeah I used to work for them at the entrance and when a lady came to complain about a kid pooping the answer was they could leave and get a ticket for another day but no refunds, when I asked the lifeguards they said they can't close the pools bc they have to drain the pools
I used to work for a Cedar Fair park, same thing. It's disgusting what park guests do.
Again, large groups of ghetto families flood into these parks and cause trouble. These are the same people who act like someone owes them something. I see it everyday. You either have strict civilized rules and bar them for life so it is a privilege to. Be there, or let them ruin everything bit by bit.
@@baewulflatina9092thats totally false. You dont need to drain the pool to treat the situation..
Dev you are a class act. You kept it real while still being very professional about this unfortunate situation. Thank you for this.
We were at Aquatica probably 12 years ago. It was a great experience back then. It’s a shame that something like this happened! I understand that the associates should have done something, but what about the dang parents?! Thanks Dev for your honesty!
I used to have Aquatica passes back in 2016 and 2017 and it was great back then. It's a shame what happened
Yes the parents are useless scumbags that don't deserve to have children but that's why employees are around especially when you're on vacation so you don't feel uncomfortable with your visit. Sounds like a lose lose to me. Clearly the visitors here are trashy and so are the employees
Thank you for being real with us throughout the evolution of your channel. I have so much respect for your channel for this reason alone. If you’re paying 100$ per person for a water park you should be getting a proper experience.
You’re definitely right that this situation was mishandled. Pre-pandemic there was a toddler ‘issue’ near the shore of Typhoon Lagoon’s wave pool. A life guard was alerted, guests were evacuated and they shut down the wave pool immediately to follow proper cleaning procedures. I feel terrible for the guests at Aquatica that day, so disappointing. I wish the lifeguards would have alerted management if they were unsure how to address the situation.
M poo hop 4:58 4:58 p 😊y 😮❤ ❤nu kk😮 k😮😅nmmmmmmm
We were at a Great Wolf Lodge where something similar happened and they cleared the wave pool and immediately shut it down.
O
I get that it can happen anywhere but the fact that the staff did nothing is unacceptable! Not only is it disgusting but it's a huge health hazard... just the fact that staff did nothing shows me that going to aquatica is not worth my time...thank you for telling us about what happened...you saved me from making a big mistake for my vacation this summer!
Thank you for your honesty. I know you were trying to be as kind as possible, and I feel you handled reporting this in a very professional manner. ❤
Great comment and I agree. I thought this situation was handled with class and the information needed to be given. Most of us don't want to go to a dirty water park where someone taking a dump in the water is seen as ok and staff does nothing
Agreed!
Thank you for sharing this video, it has made our decision NOT to go there , I think that is disgusting 🤢 and no one doing anything about it ! I would have approached them lifeguards and told them if this wasn’t shut I would have reported them !! I hope someone from aquatica sees this video !!!
Mine too
I’m so happy that you did mention this! It’s a serious problem!! It’s a violation of health code! The health department needs to be aware of this because it puts people at a higher risk of contracting a serious disease 🦠!! I just want to say thank you for getting the scoop on the 💩 poop ! Love you so very much you truly are a scholar and a GENTLEMAN!!❤️ 💯 % respect!
Thank you for your honesty and insight, I am glad you were able to share your experiences and we appreciate you!!
Your honesty about places you visit is the single reason I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work and continue to share your honest opinions. 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing this video. I would at least say something about what you witnessed to guest relations or management. Accidents like that happen at every water park or public pool but typically they shut down, clean up and disinfect when that happens. Imagine being in that lazy river and seeing that float next to you...yikes!
So true it’s a no for me for sea world parks
Universal top notch
Thank you! Videos like this are so appreciated! I truly appreciate your honesty and candor. It saves us time and money when content creators like yourself do your due diligence and speak on the truth. We pay a lot of our hard earned money to go and have a great time and when we do we expect to get quality. Keep these videos coming! My wife and I met you and Bianca last year in October while you guys were doing your resort hopping video. We love your videos. Thank you!
Looks like most people have had some bad experiences at this water park, seeing how empty the park was. Thank you for being open and honest about what you saw.
It’s been like that since the pandemic and plus Orlando theme parks are high look at theme park of Disney a family of four you’re going to spend about $626 on food. I live in Florida but in Tampa. The pandemic messed up everything it’s sad because normal families can’t go to the theme parks anymore. Look up the price online
We had a annual pass this past year. It literally just expired and we didn't go much but everytime we've gone it's been super busy. But it's just getting pretty trashy. My girls and I just went last weekend and it was busy and we didn't stay long bc it was just gross.
I’ve never been to this water park before, but it was in my list to attend. Thank you so much for this video cause it’s definitely crossed off now that is just disgusting. I can’t believe the parents and the workers just stood there just terrible.
Oh wow, been to Aquatica loads over the years, would class it as my favourite water park. Never seen anything like this, I certainly hope you or one of the other adults that witnessed this challenged the lifeguard's that were present and asked them why they weren't dealing with the situation, or at least mentioned it to a team member or manager on the way out of the park !!
It's not the same. It used to be my favorite as well and I'm local and we just went last weekend and just decided to be done with this park.
You said loads.....lol
@@Gen-x-press 🤭
I agree with you Dev! Good for you to share with your audience. I trust your honesty and appreciate you! 🤗
Thanks for sharing Dev. I know that must have been so uncomfortable to witness. And you’re right, this is your job to inform us and just share your experiences and we appreciate that. Can’t wait to see your office development and your channel continue to grow! Tell my fellow Bianca hi for me! 👋🏾
I’m so happy I had other plans this day babe! 😂
Thank you Dev! That was a public service announcement! We are very, very grateful for the second half of your video as we would have never known. Thank you Dev!
Wow!!! A serious health hazard. Health dept should’ve been called but worse yet, there are protocols for this. The area should’ve been shut down. Obviously, some SERIOUS training needs to happen. OMG!!!! These parks are a mess! I applaud you for reporting. ITS SERIOUS BUSINESS, PERIOD!!!! I agree re Seaworld. They’ll e been having issues management issues for a very long time. Thank you again Dev for reporting this incident!
This is soo disappointing 😢 I’ve been to aquatica a few times and always had a great day! It’s lazy, disrespectful parents that are mainly to blame! A very heavy worded email would have been sent to head office if that was me
Girl wtf an email gonna do
@@WowitzkayLMAOOO
Dude! Thank you for your honesty, we rely on your unbiased opinion to make our vacations matter.
I truly appreciate your water park week tour. It's important ALL of the information that you share. Cleanliness is extremely important to me.
Thank you for being so honest about your experience. I don't feel I get that on other channels. You definitely fill a niche in this market. Very few channels really tell it like it is. Everything seems to be all sunshine and rainbows... it's hard to get the real story. I don't think I'll ever go to Aquatica...the fact that they never bothered to get people out of the water to clean up. Unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing this experience and really appreciate your honest views. We were on the Disney Fantasy a few years back when a similar thing happened in the Mickey pool. They closed the pool, emptied the pool, and then did a full clean before refilling it and opening it back up again. That’s how it should be dealt with. Really enjoy your uploads and appreciate you deciding to show us your honest experience of this water park. 👍
I've never been to aquatica since the first day they opened and never had that urge to go. This video solidifies, I'm good at not going. The first red flag of this video is all those life jackets thrown to the side. Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@emmamarske yes but usually they have someone tell you to put them back on the rack so there isn't a huge pile on the floor.
Glad you put this information out there, it really will help your viewers make an informed decision. That situation is a heath hazard to everyone.
This reminds me of our trip to Vermont last year…we stayed at a Waterpark resort and their main feature was a lazy river and it was closed. It turned out that there was not enough staff to maintain it. I really think there was staffing issues everywhere and maybe this park is having this issue. It’s really too bad 😢
Thank you for posting! My family was thinking of going, so glad I found this before we bought tickets. But we’ll definitely be visiting Discovery Cove! Your videos there are always amazing. Thankful for you and all that you do!
Hi Dev, I know you were hesitant about sharing your experience at aquatica with us but I appreciate you going through with it anyways. I respect the transparency and definitely won’t be visiting aquatica anytime soon. New subby here ✅
Thanks for the info. I’m planning what parks to visit for spring break and this is helpful.
Thank you PC Dev for being honest. I am going to FL in a few months and watch all of your videos to get tips for theme park spots. I appreciated your review and transparency every place you go....it does matter!
We live relatively close to Orlando and visit quite often. We were at Aqautica the year it opened and it was great. It has declined significantly since. We don’t do Disney as much either now. We are at Universal a few times a month. They have it together. After this I can’t imagine we would ever go back to Aquatica or SeaWorld.
Its Aquatica that had this issue. Its not Sea World which is a great place.
I had SeaWorld and Aquatica annual passes prior to and after COVID. I recently canceled due to customer service. It saddens me because I really love all their parks. I am now an annual passholder at Universal/Volcano Bay and couldn’t be happier. Thank you for your class act honest review.
I was also a pass holder pre and post COVID. Post COVID we only went two or three times. No desire to go despite the kids loving the coasters. It was chaotic, dirty, unorganized, etc.
See I haven’t had a whole lot of issues my passes I will say though checked out adventure island this past weekend and only rode 2 slides apparently they were not prepared for the amount of people they had Saturday so we dipped out and went and spend the day at Busch gardens
That’s very disturbing. We will be giving aquatica a miss in June. Thank you for the update we appreciate your information 😊
I bet the lifeguards hands are tied. Now days you can't say or do anything to a guest without probably losing your job. Who knows though...
My sister did technical writing for Disney for 12 yrs and she said she was always tasked with writing assignments pertaining to contaminants in the Disney water parks (feces and urine) She has actually never been to either of the Disney water parks because the things she read and had to write about (internally for Disney) grossed her out. It happens alot more than you think industry wide. I am very disappointed in "Seaworld Parks" employees for not doing something about what you witnessed. I would (personally) make a formal complaint to the company to bring it to their attn. I think as a whole honestly the entertainment industry has declined in quality since the pandemic. but yes, I hear you when you say that experience makes you "re-appreciate" Disney, and that is saying alot considering Disney is a bit of a mess at the moment (100% agree). Always appreciate your candidness and honesty.
Former lifeguard here! You are correct. I was a lifeguard at WildWater Kingdom before they closed. Our policy when someone went number 2 in any of the attractions was to blow 4 short whistles and a lead would come over and we tell them what’s going on. They then would contact a supervisor and the attraction would get shut down for 2 hours after the poop was cleaned out and new chemicals was put in.
But crap people were not kicked out?
@@jnorton8402 No
@@jnorton8402 they were lil small kids that didn’t really like telling their parents they had to poo so relax!!
@@jnorton8402 They certainly should have been asked to leave. If you can't raise your child any better than that, they have no business there. I would think they would have cameras throughout the park also.
Thank you so much for being so honest about what you had seen. We enjoy your videos please keep them coming, they are very informative.
Honestly glad you spoke up. It really made me look at things different now when choosing where to spend my money. Silence is very deafening.
Thank you for your honesty and hopefully they do something about this issue. We went last year to Sea World and I thought it was fun. The Sesame Street parade was so cute. The food service could use improvement but the whale show and other animal attractions were great. I love the penguin area😊. My husband rode Ice Breaker and liked it. We were hoping to go back to try more rides. We will see!
That's disgusting. No one would want to witness this. What a bad reputation this water park will be associated with. I am so glad you shared this information and didn't just quit the park without highlighting its lack of duty of care for other unsuspecting visitors. I really hope this situation is followed up and they behave in a much more professional way by not tolerating such inhuman instances by turning a blind eye to it.
how would we know if they are doing anything to correct this if they don't comment here which Im sure they don't sit and watch videos all day. For all we know the turd is still floating in the pool.
I used to work for Aquatica, and the management is awful. I was a lifeguard and was refused bathroom breaks which led to cause medical issues.
I appreciate your honest review because I am not from the area, and we want the facts so we know what places we’d like to spend our valuable vacation time doing! You’re the best, Dev!! 🎉🎉🎉
That’s vile. So glad you did decide to tell us about these incidents so that we can make informed decisions ourselves.
Please don’t be afraid to give us the honest truth no matter how ugly it is. It’s what people come to this channel for because you keep it real.
Aquatica was very nice when it first opened. The last time we went before CV, we noticed that the clientele was very different than Disney’s. Love that fast lazy river, but we vowed never to go back.
Love Discovery Cove. We’re planning on going again in the summer-but I hope it hasn’t declined!
Thanks for the feedback, Dev. My wife and I have never been to Aquatica, but always thought about it on a future visit. We will definitely remove this one off the bucket list. Thank you!
I am so glad to see this video! I am disabled and have my own gripes with this park. I've been once and won't go back. Guest services never even contacted me to address my concerns. Thank you for speaking up! Sure would be nice if they cared enough to address the issues!
You are 100% correct! I worked at Busch Gardens back in 2002-2009 in management and was laid off when Anheuser Busch sold the parks. It was a different world back then, we took pride in the parks and were like family. There are still a few left from back then so that may be why the park is ran better than sea world/aquatica. Mr. Busch would visit at least once a month and shake everyone’s hands, we also got 2 free 24 packs of beer a month so that wasn’t bad haha
Accidents happen, but what’s disturbing besides the fact that they didn’t close down the lazy river to clean up, is the parents just standing around watching! What’s wrong with some people?
Wow that’s awful! Aquatica need reporting to the authorities as the staff did nothing 😮
I would have definitely highlighted my findings with guest services. It’s sad but unfortunately some people out there are the worst of society and I believe we need a heck more security in these parks to catch these people and prosecute them and give lifetime bans. The chlorine in these huge parks can only do so much.
Dev we couldn’t agree more with you. We were so disappointed with SeaWorld during our visit in October. The staff were so disinterested, there was a notable lack of them (e.g. no one at the end of a queue line to allocate you to a row of the coaster, just a free for all), the food was some of the most expensive, but worst quality, we had the whole time we were there. It saddens me as SeaWorld reminds me of being a kid but we won’t go again. We were going to go to Aquatica during our trip, but after our day at SeaWorld we didn’t bother and did Volcano Bay again, thank god we changed our minds! Discovery Cove however was awesome, we loved it.
I was literally about to buy tickets to Aquatica for spring break. Definitely not going now. So glad I watched your video first.
I am glad you shared this experience because I was thinking in the start of the video that I'd love to take my Granddaughter there....but not now. Agreed, if they did nothing with something that I would say is a huge deal, I wonder what goes on that we don't see....like in the area of food, etc...Thanks for sharing!
Wait, wait, wait! Dev...you're telling us that some kid that was DEFINATELY old enough to know better, took a #2 in the lazy river??
The whole time I was listening to you, I was thinking, "Man, a kid just started peeing in the water like a urinal? That's just uncalled for." But, had I known from the beginning it was straight up "the unforgivable no-no in the pool" action...man if I had been you I'd have raised that flag up to the highest level of management. Props to you for keeping your cool, as someone who paid $100 dollars to go to a WATER PARK only open till 5pm (another rant for another day).
It’s good that you put this sort of info up ,If your visiting from another country the last thing you want to hear as when it’s taken a couple of years hard savings to go you don’t want to end up poorly and spoil your holiday ……
Thank you, Dev, for sharing with the community. I really don't like public water parks for these very reasons you pointed out. It's sad, though, for families that pay all this money to enjoy, and this is what they go through. It's a pass for me on any waterpark. I know this is not everyday occurrence, but it still just reinforces my concerns. Sorry you had to experience that.
Thank you for sharing this so I can be better informed for when I ever make it back to Florida
Thank you so much for posting and being honest!
I got a fun card to aquatica for my daughter and I 2 years ago. It came with a couple of guest passes and the first time we went was the very end of January in 2021 (we got lucky with a Rouge warm day). We had a nice time, it wasn't very crowded and they didn't appear to have many staff issues (yet). I took my daughter back twice more that year, and each time we stayed less and less. The last time we stayed maybe an hour... it was so crowded and clearly understaffed and I just wasn't comfortable being there alone with my daughter... we haven't been back and I wasn't planning to, but even more-so now... the last time we were there I left thinking "I have never felt this way at Disney or Universal"...
Also, I HAVE been at Disney when something like this has happened, and the lifeguards got everyone out of the pool, they cleaned it, tested the water and they didn't let anyone back in until it was safe to do so... I believe the incident I'm remembering involved a baby and a leaking diaper, so also different, but clearly they actually handled it, and I think that is the point... of course things happen and kids can misbehave (though, as a parent-I can say there are a TON of things I would absolutely not tolerate in my daughter, certainly using the bathroom anywhere other than the bathroom is at the top of that list) but watching the parents AND staff not do ANYTHING is absolutely super disturbing! I'm surprised the health department hasn't shut them down because that has to be in violation of (I would assume) more than one health codes!
Thank you again for the honesty, I do think that it's important for people to know what they are getting into if they want to go here!
Love this series!!
Thank you so much for your honest reviews Dev, really appreciate that's it's hard sometimes, especially in this instance, but that is disgusting! Seems like the world has forgotten we spent 2 years in a pandemic, that is so gross and totally unnecessary as well, I'm sure there are plenty of toilets in these places. Thanks again Dev and glad that you're not sick and hope the pollen situation is better soon ❤
I'm sorry you had to go through this. I've been to Aquatica numerous times especially pre covid. Breakaway falls, omaka roka, and roas rapids are my personal favorite water rides in Orlando.
Thank you for your honesty!! I have never been to Aquatica, and now it's as if i may not ever.
Unbelievable...how can it be people like that and the "who cares reaction" of the cast members.
Thank you for all of your information. My wife and I depend on your advice in choosing the parks and other places we decide to go. Keep up the excellent work.
So sorry you had to witness this, looks like some urgent staff training and protocols need applying pdq!
Love your channel Dev Xx
That is disturbing. Thank you for this video. I have never been to Aquatica and haven't been to SeaWorld in years. Now, I doubt I will ever be motivated to go to either park. I did go to Discovery Cove for the first time back in December and had a Wonderful time. Also stayed at Universal and went to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. I live far away so we try to get to Disney and Universal at least once every two years. I love watching channels like this that are informative, so when we do go, we can plan accordingly and make the most of our time. Thank you for everything you do and giving us your honest opinions. I can't wait to go to Epic Universe! 😁
I’d have to agree 💯 SeaWorld / Aquatica is always such a disappointment. Glad you spoke up about it. I’ve never had anything as disgusting as what you experienced but our family came close to a similar experience . I cancelled my passes years ago because of it.
Happy Sunday! Watching now. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤❤
You need to contact the management for the park and inform them of what was witnessed immediately. Truly you shouldn’t have left the park without doing this. This is a major issue that is an infectious disease risk. I wish you would have immediately approached one of the lifeguards and informed them of what you saw and ask them what the process is when something like that happens. Please reach out to the park management and inform them of what was witnessed not just come on here and share. People can become severely ill and the park needs to be aware incase there is an outbreak in the area of any illnesses from contaminated water that could have been contracted from exposure in their park. Please please please contact them!!
Thanks for the info! You are absolutely right in your decision to not visit that water park ever again! You have a lot of courage to tell the truth. You’re a wonderful person!
Tyler's reactions to themeing makes us tear up too! It's how people feel when they see disney for the first time! Great video you two!! Did you get any photos by photo pass photographers? Infront of tower? Millennium falcon?
Thank You so much for sharing your disappointing experience at Aquatica in such a professional way. It's not easy to talk about disturbances like that but you did a fantastic job putting the right words. My opinion only, Aquatica should have protocols specifically for those situations. Dealing with toddlers and/or kids and pools situations are not easy BUT they should have limits and rules on these unfortunate "nature" causes. First, Lifeguards should whistle, get ppl out of pool, call for management and let them handle situation. Second, Is Aquatica allowing parents to come back again? . Parents should be the example to their children and they should be with the children at all times. Very sad situation... Again, thank you for addressing that bad experience such in a peaceful way. Keep doing what you do best, You are awesome!!! Keep smiling and visiting the parks. Blessings
Thanks for letting us know, Dev. We're visiting in May and were in 2 minds if to got to Aquatica and Seaworld. We definitely won't be now. I'll be looking at Volcano Bay instead. I like your honesty.
I hear ya! My son loves animals and kiddie rides. Thought sea world parks would be perfect. Then found they are still doing the orca shows, still taking animals from the wild and in general haven’t made some changes that would make them a much more desirable family spot. We are going to universal instead too!
You’ll love Volcano Bay! It’s the superior water park in Orlando in my opinion. It’s so immersive and relaxing ❤
You should definitely go to volcano bay. It’s awesome
Wow. Thanks for the video and the warning. Wasn’t planning on going anyway but definitely will not go for sure now. You’re the best. Thanks!
Thank you for your honesty Dev!! This is a must know! 🤯😬
Thank you for sharing! I’m so sorry you had to see that!
Thank you, once again, for your honesty. You could've chosen not to share the disturbing info but it's good you did. I hope the park will revisit their protocols for cleanliness at the park and set up better training for their employees. Often times it has to be brought to light publicly before anything gets done about it. Sadly. Thanks again.
This is why we love your channel, you definitely tell it like it is! You give us the good, the bad, and the ugly and we appreciate everything you do!
OMG! thanks for sharing your experience AND i'm sorry you experienced that.
Thank you for your honesty!
I've felt good ever since going to Universal, I became an annual pass holder recently and love it. It sucks how SeaWorld has fallen. Last time I was there, it felt like there were more wildlife than employees. The experience wasn't as great & I haven't been back since. It's shocking to see how they're still running struggling like this
Something similar happened to me at Magic Kingdom. 2005...a little kid (maybe 6 or 7) was standing on the bridge that goes over Tomorrowland Speedway track with his pants down and peeing onto the track below. His parents were standing there and cast members saw him as well. I honestly think that the cast members were just stunned that this was happening and they had no idea what to do in the situation. Other guests were actually screaming at the kid's parents. Management finally came over and escorted the parents and kid away.
What kind of parent thinks it is acceptable for their child to drop his pants and urinate in public, especially at a busy place like a theme park? I sure hope that family was told to never return to a Disney park again. Even if the kid had some kind of cognitive impairment, well, it just doesn’t matter. Lord, what a world we live in.
Thank you for sharing! You are absolutely correct that Disney & Universal would have shut down the water ride & completed their protocols for cleaning & disinfecting for an extended period of time before reopening. I have been at Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, Volcano Bay, Disney & Universal property hotel pools, etc. & seen their protocol in action.
This happened when we stayed at cabana bay, immediately we were taken out the pool whilst it was cleaned. You would hope this place would of done the same
Thank you for your honest reporting. It is very disturbing and hope that Sea World gets its act together.
The look on your face in the thumbnail LOLLL once you watch the video, it alllll makes sense
Getting what you pay for? 100 dollar for a day pass is not cheap. Call them out. Discovery cove clearly cares more. Half the attractions closed? So disappointing for a visiting family. Thanks for your work Dev❤
Right that's more then Disney and Universal's waterpark.
Thanks for the heads up. My family made the switch from Disney to Universal for many reasons. Happy to know that Discovery Cove is still good. Waiting until everyone is old enough to swim with the dolphins.
Oh my! Hopefully the establishment will see this video and make steps to improve thanks for all the videos.
I’m sorry you had an experience like that, I’m not if sure how I would have reacted. When I went like 4 years it was nothing like it is now. Thank you for at least telling us that horrific experience.
The same thing happened to me when I was in Universal Volcano Bay in 2017 with my family when a kid took a piss in the swimming pool in Volcano Bay and everyone got told the leave the pool and the pool was closed for the entire day.
Thank you for your honest review. Its totally shocking of those lifeguards to do nothing!
I will not be visiting Aquatica in the future x
Feel better Dev. I enjoyed this video one thing is I always respect your opinions and your experiences with places. To be honest I never heard of this park thank you and thank you for the honest views for me I noticed or maybe I missed something. Was there any Tubes in the lazy river ??? I didn’t see any?? What do you float on?? And I noticed lots of places are shut down. To me this place has potential. Thanks again Waving to ya from NYC.
I agree with everything you have stated. I had Sea World/Aquatica season passes until this past year. Once in a Aquatica restroom I heard an individual confess she just swam in her undergarments all afternoon. They were running errands and decided it was hot and just went to the park. It is a common occurrence in that park. I cancelled my pass also.
Dev, did you say anything to guest relations on your way out? Has SW reached out to you at all since?
Hey Dev, oh damm this is a serious hard pass on this place. It’s so disgusting it’s hard to imagine
Dude a kid took a shit in the “rapid “river you coulda just said that (not lazy btw it was closed at the time of you going) big deal your acting like you saw a kid die or something or get seriously hurt. 😂🤦🏽♂️
