Disney's Lava Island Water Park

 

Aloha! Welcome to a tropical paradise in the southern corner of the resort. This South Pacific-inspired water park has something to delight guests of all ages, from thrilling water rides to a relaxing lazy river. Clearly you have not seen a paradise until you've seen a place like this.

When walking past the ten tikis in front of the entrance, you go through the gates and into a tropical Polynesian village. At the Honolulu Hut, you can get help and services. Nearby is also Honu House, a gift shop, and Maui Munchies, a restaurant. Also around the village are restrooms and locker rooms You then cross a bridge over the lazy river, walking to the sandy beach area to hang out or set up. At the end of the beach is the Ika Moana Wave Pool. You can take the Luau Lift to the top of the island's volcano, Mount Lava. At the top of the volcano, you can ride one of five water slides. Tangoroa Falls are a trio of tube slides going down the mountain. Lava Fall is a freefall ride that is sure to give you a wedgie. Pyro Plunge is a falling tube ride. Wild Water Runways are a pair of aqua-coasters that go down to the bottom of the mountain. Finally, Slippin' Slide Racers is where you ride down on mats. At the bottom of the mountain, west of the park is an adventure tube ride, Treasure Falls. Nearby is the Ohana Shack, a snack stand that sells frozen hot chocolate, shaved ice, and more snacks. North of the mountain is Tiki Temple Splash Park, a water playground for kids. South of the mountain is a trio of enclosed tube slides called Pipeline Plungers and a fast lazy river called the Rushin' River, along with a character spot to meet characters such as Moana, Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, and more. Around the mountain is the Aquatica Lazy River, where you can sit back and relax in a tube and float down the river.

I really took a breather making this. I wanted a mix between thrilling, relaxing, and fun, and I think I've pretty much achieved that. I wanted to make a tropical island paradise, so I immediately chose Polynesia to base this off of. It was that easy to decide on. As for the fact that Maui gets his own restaurant, well, "You're Welcome."
