下面就为大家介绍一些世界闻名却各有特色的水上乐园。一起看看什么才叫真正的水上乐园吧！

Location: Wisconsin Dells， Wisconsin， US

Highlight: Thrilling slides

Noah’s Ark offers many water slides. The most notable ride is the Black Anaconda. At more than 400 meters in length， it is the most thrilling water coaster in the USA and sends riders spiralling down at speeds of up to 48 kilometers per hour. Then rushing water pushes riders up the creature’s six humps and wraps them up in its dark coils.

The Time Warp， the “world’s largest bowl ride”， features a 21-meter descent， while the Scorpion’s Tail drops riders down a trap door into an almost inverted loop.

诺亚方舟水上乐园里有许多水上滑梯，而其中以“黑色水蟒”最为著名：它全长超过400米，是美国最为惊心动魄的水上过山车，它可让游客盘旋而下，速度可达48千米/时；游客会在湍急水流的推动下六次达到其顶峰，并在其黑色的蛇形盘圈“隧道”中不断盘旋。

“时光隧道”被称为“世界上最大的圆形过山车”，拥有21米的下降高度，但是诺亚方舟水上乐园的“蝎尾”会通过活板门将你直接送入几近90的回环滑道。
