The following are a few special and well-known water parks around the world. Take a good look, and know what the real water parks look like.

下面就爲大家介紹一些世界聞名，卻各有特色的水上樂園。一起去看看什麼才叫真正的水上樂園！

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 US’ most thrilling water coaster and sends riders spiraling 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.
諾亞方舟水上樂園擁有諸多水滑梯，而其中以“黑色水蟒”最爲著名：它全長超過400米，是美國最爲驚心動魄的水上過山車，其螺旋而下，時速可達48千米/小時；遊客會在湍急水流的推動下六次達到其頂峯，並在其黑色的“隧道”中不斷盤旋。

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. Plus, with 18 indoor water parks, Wisconsin Dells gives water lovers a chance to try out more fun.
雖然“時光隧道”被稱爲“世界上最大的圓形過山車”，擁有21米的下降高度，但是諾亞方舟水上樂園的“蠍尾”會通過活板門將你直接送入幾近九十度的迴環滑道。順便說一句，威斯康星山谷中共擁有18個室內水上樂園，可謂水上運動愛好者的福地。
