Today, at the recommendation of the Madigan's, we discovered yet another amazing place in Wisconsin that we’d never heard of before: the Wisconsin Dells. Advertised as a city of water parks, it is like something I’ve never seen before. Every hotel/motel has its own water or adventure park the small ranging from our little motel (kind you find on the side of the road) with two outdoor water/pool areas and an indoor pool to huge places that have 3 or 4 of their own indoor/outdoor water parks! We ended up checking out Noah’s Ark (arguably the best park!) which is an outdoor with no hotel directly attached and all I can say is WOW! We had so much fun! We ended the day with a great splash- zip-lining right into the pool! The rest of the day was great too though. The best ride was definitely the water roller coaster, like a regular coaster it pulls you uphill before drops and spins etc. but the whole time you’re in a water park double person tube and they are throwing water at you from every direction. The scariest/craziest ride we went on though was called the Scorpion Tail. After climbing up higher than anything else around (and being weighed for safety of course) you step into a clear plastic tube with a platform at the bottom. After a short countdown the platform falls and you drop Geronimo style down a clear tube and if you gather up enough speed not to get stuck you go upside down through the loop then back to the ground and the bottom of the ride. We met a really skinny girl in line for the next ride who didn’t have the weight to get enough speed. She got stuck in the top of the loop and went back down upside-down, before having to be just let out of the tube at the bottom of the loop. Glad that wasn’t us the first time, but it might be fun for the next ride… Either way we are still not ready to leave Wisconsin. We still can’t believe how much fun stuff there is out here, so we are driving a little further and taking on a little more of this crazy state! Check out pictures of today’s adventure, which don’t quite do it justice… maybe check out Noah’s Ark yourself!
