Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
When it comes to water parks, Mississippi’s got quite the variety. But if you’re in the mood for a thrilling adventure, Geyser Falls is the water park for you. Among the park’s dozens of slides, you’ll find Mt. Everwet, which is home to not one, not two, but THREE 6-story speed slides! Take a look:
With 23 acres of exhilarating slides and other water attractions, it’s no surprise that USA Today named Geyser Falls the state’s best water park.
Adventure-seekers will also want to check out Backsplash. The "first waterslide of its kind in America," it sends riders hurtling backward on a two-person tube down a chute and back up a giant half-pipe wall.
Truly offering something for everyone, the park’s other attractions include a variety of other slides, relaxing lazy river, kid-sized slides, and mini water features.
