2.Swimsuits without buttons or zippers are recommended since those with may not be permitted since they can damage certain slides.

3.One-piece suits for women are recommended, unless you're willing to possibly put on a show. Free-fall and speed slides are notorious for borrowing your bikini.

5.Sunglasses and a hat are great if you plan to lounge around the wave pool or float the lazy river all afternoon.
