This spectacle has been happening since 1947 and is still a crowd favorite. Buccaneer Bay park has four water slides and a beach area on the other side of the river from the area where the mermaid show is housed. The main draw at the park, aside from the mermaid show, are the water slides: Pirates’s Plunge, the Thunderbolt, the Pirate’s Revenge and the Cannonball. $13 for adults, $8 for children.
