Air conditioning, watermelons, ice cream—we have all kinds of gadgets and food to get us through the summer. But what could be better than some waterborne fun during the hot months? With daring slides and exciting rides, water parks keep us happy even in the sizzling heat.
空调、西瓜、冰淇淋——我们似乎有各种各样的“避暑神器”，但是比起炎炎夏日的水上运动，这些都弱爆了！考验勇气的旋转滑道、紧张刺激的水上过山车，水上乐园让我们在高温烈日里也能幸福感爆棚。
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.
下面就为大家介绍一些世界闻名，却各有特色的水上乐园。一起去看看什么才叫真正的水上乐园！
Noah’s Ark
诺亚方舟水上乐园
Location: Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, US
位于：美国，威斯康辛州，威斯康星山谷
Highlight: Thrilling rides
亮点：惊险的水滑梯
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.
诺亚方舟水上乐园拥有诸多水滑梯，而其中以“黑色水蟒”最为著名：它全长超过400米，是美国最为惊心动魄的水上过山车，其螺旋而下，时速可达48千米/小时；游客会在湍急水流的推动下六次达到其顶峰，并在其黑色的“隧道”中不断盘旋。
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.
虽然“时光隧道”被称为“世界上最大的圆形过山车”，拥有21米的下降高度，但是诺亚方舟水上乐园的“蝎尾”会通过活板门将你直接送入几近九十度的回环滑道。顺便说一句，威斯康星山谷中共拥有18个室内水上乐园，可谓水上运动爱好者的福地。
