I don't think Disney have anything to worry about from WnW, but it was certainly interesting to see things from a 13-year-old perspective.

Easily the best Orlando and Disney Paris guidebooks out there. Don't let anyone at Imagineering hear your second theory about what appeals to teenagers! (or if they do, make sure they read on to realise how a big a hit Everest was.) As a man in his early thirties I found Wet n Wild to be just ok. Sure, some of the rides were pretty good (and wilder than most of Disney's ones), but the lack of themeing and general upkeep of the place marked it out as somewhere I wasn't in a hurry to return to. (Certainly not in favour of TL!) It was the only place in my whole Orlando trip where I felt it was geared too much to teens - my parents didn't get a lot of WnW but the teens couldn't get enough. Maybe it's that when we are young we believe in the magic of the parks because of the theming, then you crave thrills above anything else in your teens before finally appreciating the skill and effort that goes into some of Disney best attractions as you mature...</b> Glad to hear there’s another Brit’s Guide on the way, Simon.
