Disney Cruise Line Water Slides/Coasters

Disney Cruise Line Water Slides/Coasters


AquaDuck, AquaDunk or AquaMouse they are all fun and found on the Disney Cruise Ships.


AquaDuck, on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy  was the first WaterCoaster at sea. It is not really waterslide as the water actually pushed up uphill at some points. You board your raft on Deck 14 Aft Port side in the back funnel. You are swept out of the  launch bay and out over the side of the ship in a loop. You are riding in a clear plastic tube so you can see down to the sea below you. You loop back over the decks of the ship and drop and make a sharp right turn into the forward funnel of the ship! You go through the funnel in the dark and come out the other side. You then drop down to Deck 10 to a splash down pad on the Starboard side of the ship near the back funnel.


Next up came the AquaDunk on the Disney Magic. Disney got the AquaDunk during a reimagining some years back. The Aqua Duck is a body slide and comes out the forward funnel and drops you almost straight down into a loop over the ocean, much like the AquaDuck. You then end in a splash down pad on Deck 9.


The newest is the AquaMouse on the Disney Wish! The AquaMouse is similar to the AquaDuck with the addition of video screens, misters, foggers and water jets spritzing you as you sip past. You will see one of 2 stories as you ride AquaMouse. Mickey & Minnie are the lead characters in these funs stories. The first is “Scuba Scramble.” It is a zany underwater adventure where Mickey and Minnie run a Scuba Shop! The second is” Swiss Meltdown” and takes you on a mountain sledding excursion. Now what could go wrong with either of those adventures?

 

Here is some information on riding the AquaDuck and AquaMouse rides on the Disney Dream, Fantasy and Wish. You must be at least 42 inches tall to ride, and at least 54 inches tall to ride alone. Children under the age of 7 must have someone over the age of 14 go with them to ride.

 

Disney Magic’s AquaDunk you must be 48 inches tall and under 300 lbs. to ride.

 

The only ship of the Diseny Fleet that does not have a family waterslide that adults can go on is the Disney Wonder. The Wonder is in Alaska during the summer months and has been retrofitted to add more shelter from the cool Alaskan evenings during the summer months. That may be the reason.

 

Next time you sail on one of the Disney Ships be ready to make a splash down!!
