Another creation of man that , on the surface, has a tantalizing idea, but the reality is that it reinforces laziness and general malaise. What's the most popular ride at the water park? The lazy river, where you don't have to do a single thing except sit in a tube, and where the lifeguards reinforce the laziness by ordering you not to switch tubes or swim.
like 15 years ago six flags had a water park in florida called six flags great atlantis. it's 10x better than any water park they have now. i miss it.
On top of that, you have to wait in long lines just to slide down a tube, and once you get to the bottom, you must immediatly leave the pool. And when your not waiting in line, or gliding down the lazy river, you are either eating at the food stand or laying down.
Argh.
