Students with 90 percent or above attendance are headed to the American Dream Waterpark today. Many of the freshmen, who have not gone on this trip, are amped up.

There are many things you can expect to happen on this trip. First, it’s recommended that you bring some snacks for the ride. It’s about an hour, including traffic. The buses can get cold so you can bring a little blanket for the ride.

In the water park they have bathrooms where you can change and wristbands so you can leave and enter as you please. You need to come prepared, so you should bring towels, an extra change of clothes, a bag big enough for everything you’re bringing and money. The American Dream is cashless, meaning they only accept cards.

The food there is pretty decent, but they don’t have much of a variety. You should save your money if you want something better. Their burgers are good, but they’re kind of small for 14 or more dollars. They have nachos, but it’s just a chip bag with dip. I would not recommend spending your money on this. Their milkshakes, however, are amazing. They are quite pricey and small, so if you don’t want to spend any more than you should, I’d recommend saving for something better.

The rides are very fun, but some require you to know how to swim. There are some rides that drop you into six feet of water. There are always lifeguards so you can be assured they’d help immediately. They have great reaction time and they’re kind and caring. There are also rides where you can go with friends. They’re fun and being with your friends makes it just as enjoyable.

The lazy river is a popular area where you just chill and go around in water on a floatie. The wave pool, however, is extremely popular. Many people love the wave pool for the thrill of jumping past the waves. Be careful here if you have glasses and plan on wearing them everywhere. Many people lose things in the wave pool, but if you’re with your friends you’re likely to find it.

When it’s time to leave, you go in the bathroom and dry up. Many do their hair and makeup, but we should finish as soon as possible because traffic is high at around 5. The ride back is peaceful; everyone used up their energy on the fun thrill of the water park.
