Splash down!
It's been hotter than heck over the past week in Southern California, as it has been throughout the summer in many other parts of the country. So to help you think cool thoughts as we head into the new school year, back to work, or whatever else keeps you from getting soaked to the bone in a theme park, here are a few moments to remember:
Feeling better yet?
Update: Notice that I didn't mention where these pictures were taken. If you know, the comments await your expertise. :^)

Does anyone know where the first picture is taken?
Thanks I needed this…
Escape from Pompeii at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Jurassic Park at Universal Studios Hollywood
???
Water World at Universal Studios
Jungle Cruise at Disneyland or Magic Kingdom
SeaWorld's Shamu show
Photo 1 is "escape from Pompeii" at Busch gardens Williamsburg/Europe.
What's number 3?
#3 is Pilgrim's Plunge at Holiday World.
Robert, you may want to name the files differently if you want us to guess becasue I if mouse-over each pic I can see where they were taken. :)
I have a confession to make...but Joe spoke for me above.
I didn't necessarily mean theme park expertise in my update. Sometimes, technical expertise will suffice....
Ha Ha...... Thanks for that Joe Brown!! I was also wondering what number three was.
Notice that most of the pictures are of the major splash rides that are normally just big ovals in some parks.... but the first two you have pictures of (Escape / Jurassic) are probably some of the best example of how that type of ride SHOULD be..... instead of just a simple up, around a curve to a drop and splash down, then around a curve back to the station. Escape is especially photogenic in that picture.

"Feeling better yet?"
No.
Maybe if I get to Mountain Creek this weekend as planned.
