Universal's water park is built around a two-hundred-foot artificial volcano and one clever idea: the TapuTapu wristband queues virtually on your behalf, so children float the lazy river or dig on the beach instead of standing on hot concrete stairs. Slides run from toddler splash zones to the Ko'okiri body plunge, which drops through a trapdoor. Bolt it onto a Universal Orlando trip — early admission for hotel guests matters, as capacity caps by mid-morning in summer.
