    we love water parks

    The ultimate guide to Houston's best water parks for splashy summer fun

    Craig Lindsey
    Jul 26, 2018 | 12:37 pm

    When beating the summertime heat, few excursions are more enjoyable than diving into a big, welcoming water park. Americans so love these aquatic adventures that theres's even a National Waterpark Day.

     

    Fortunately, as the temperatures rise (and you and the kids need a day-long activity), Houston offers several options that are well worth the drive. We've rounded up a list of water parks that'll have you swimming, slipping, and sliding away the Houston sultriness.

     

     Altitude H2O
    Located off Highway 288 and CR 418 in Rosharon, Altitude H20 is a new and wildly popular floating water park. Here, guests can bounce around on a 25,000-square-foot, inflatable aqua park and obstacle course. Expect obstacles such as a balance beam, wiggle bridge, monkey bars, trampolines, and half-pipe. Each 45-minute session costs $20. Noon-5 pm.

     

     Moody Gardens
    The everything-but-the-kitchen-sink amusement complex in Galveston also has its own water park hangout, known as Palm Beach. That's where you'll find its Lazy River attraction, its 18-foot tower slides and, of course, the wave pool. Tickets are $23.95 ($18.95 kids and seniors; free for children 3 and under). 9 am-7 pm. (9 am-10 pm Friday-Saturday)

     

     Pirates Bay
    This Baytown park has all the required attractions: wave pool, lazy river, slides, and play structures. But the complex also has such amusingly named, high-speed rides as the Flowrider, the Space Bowl, and the Boomerango. Anyone taller than 48 inches pays $20, while people below four feet pay $15. ($5 more Friday-Sunday) 11 am-7 pm. (10 am-7 pm Friday-Sunday)

     

     Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston 
    The Galveston favorite has the perhaps the craziest-named speed slides in Texas — including Rohr!, Cliffhanger, and the Screaming Serpents body slides. A great bonus: If you hate being out in the sun, this park has you covered (literally) with Wasserfest, its indoor/convertible waterpark. Day passes are $50.99 ($38.99 for kids and seniors). 10 am-8 pm.

     

     Typhoon Texas Waterpark
    The Katy attraction already won our hearts when it opened two years ago, with its 25,000-square-foot wave pool and cabanas for rent. The park is currently getting in the holiday spirit early with its weeklong "Christmas in July" celebration. Any-day passes are $39.99. ($19.99-$39.99 for choose-your-day tickets) 10:30 am-7 pm. (10:30 am-9 pm Friday-Saturday)

     

     Wet 'n' Wild Splashtown
    This Spring institution is nearly 35 years old and continues to be the one of Texas' most beloved and familiar water parks, with thrill rides, kids rides, family rides — and even a three-story tree house on the premises. Tickets are $45.99 ($34.99 for kids). 10 am-7 pm. (10 am-8 pm Friday-Sunday)

     

     Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp & Resort
    The Waller theme park provides a fine place to camp out. It also offers two water slides (including the 565-foot Jelly Roll water slide), a lazy river, a swimming pool with a swim-up bar, and other fun, watery stuff. A visitor's day pass is $19 (kids 3 and under get in free). 10 am-7 pm.

     

     Opening soon: Big Rivers Waterpark
    Locals have been eagerly watching the construction — which has been delayed due to recent storms — of this New Caney water park, which is slated to open this summer. Big Rivers staff advises that interested guests visit its website to see the exciting attractions, such as the Gator Splash — which they claim is the largest interactive play structure in Texas — and the floating fortress known as Wild Isle. Tickets are $29.99 (free for children 2 and under).

     

    There's major bounce for the ounce at Altitude H20.

    Movie Review

    'I Know What You Did Last Summer' reboot lacks energy or thrills

    Sarah Pidgeon, Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    When the original I Know What You Did Last Summer came out in 1997, it was riding the coattails of Scream, which came out in 1996. Like that film, it featured hot young actors of the time, albeit with a story that was much more standard than the inventive Scream. Still, it made enough of an impact for some studio executive to think it was worth reviving nearly 30 years later with its own legacy-quel.

    In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a group of five high school friends — Danica (Madelyn Cline), Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers), and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) — have reunited at the engagement party for Danica and Teddy on the 4th of July. While on an impromptu trip to watch fireworks on a twisty road in the nearby hills, Teddy goofs off in the middle of the road, causing a truck to swerve and drive off the cliff.

    A year later, having sworn to each other to not speak of the accident to anybody, they start getting stalked by a mysterious person in a fisherman’s slicker carrying a hook. With Teddy’s rich father, Grant (Billy Campbell), actively trying to cover up what his son did (as well as the fallout), it’s up to the group to figure out who is coming after them and how to stop that person.

    Written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and co-written by Sam Lansky, the film doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; in fact, it barely builds something that can roll. It might just be the laziest and most incompetent attempt to capitalize on an existing piece of intellectual property. There is almost zero effort put into establishing a connection between the members of the friend group, making them feel like strangers for the entire film.

    It doesn’t help that the young male actors in the film — which grows to include Wyatt (Joshua Orpin), a new fiance for Danica — serve no purpose other than to be generically good-looking. The most impactful of the men in the film is the returning Freddie Prinze, Jr., who — along with Jennifer Love Hewitt — has his old character from the first two films shoehorned into the new story. The filmmakers undercut any good feelings from their return by giving them hardly anything to do and then having Hewitt deliver the line, “Nostalgia is overrated.”

    The film as a whole never has a sense of momentum. The inciting incident is so tame — they even attempt to save the driver before the truck goes off the cliff — that the guilt they feel and the anger of the person going after them doesn’t feel warranted. Once the attacks start, it is shocking at how low-energy the sequences are, providing no sense of suspense or thrills. The filmmakers resort to the lamest of horror movie tropes, turning the film into a paint-by-numbers affair.

    Cline (one of the stars of Netflix’s Outer Banks) and Wonders (The Studio on Apple TV+, Bodies Bodies Bodies) are the clear stars of the film, but their characters are made into inert scream queens, negating any acting talent they possess. Hauer-King, Withers, and Pidgeon don’t bring anything interesting to their characters, existing merely to have someone else for the killer to go after.

    Even the worst films can have some kind of redeeming value if you look hard enough, but the only thing I Know What You Did Last Summer has to offer is that it becomes so comically bad by the end that you can’t help but laugh at its ineptitude. Both fans of the original and fans of horror movies in general will feel cheated by the experience.

    I Know What You Did Last Summer opens in theaters on July 18.
