The arrival of spring means it's time to step off the slopes and head to the lake for invigorating water sports. Although cool spring temperatures prevail across much of the country, nearly year-round sunshine and warm weather make Central Florida the place to be if you want to strap on your ski vest. With an abundance of lakes and sunshine in the region, water-skiing is a popular pastime in this region. To ensure maximum time on the water and consistent skiing conditions, check out Orlando Watersports Complex, an action-packed park designed for wakeboarding, wakeskating and water-skiing. It's the only ski complex in the United States to have two cableways, one beginner/intermediate cable park and a slider park. The slider park is filled with ramps and rails that will help wakeboarders literally reach new heights. Orlando Watersports Complex is an ideal destination for adrenaline junkies of all skill levels, from beginning riders seeking a thrill to seasoned athletes who want a new challenge.
Should you need to give your muscles a rest, take a trip to Florida's oldest theme park, Cypress Gardens, located in Winter Haven, Florida. Here you may admire lush, tropical gardens and watch spectacular water-ski shows. Be amazed by daring ski tricks, including barefoot skiing, tandem jumps and the renowned Cypress Gardens water-ski pyramid. Later, return to Orlando and enjoy a behind-the-scenes lesson on boat building when you take a tour of the Correct Craft factory.
At the end of each action-packed day you can look forward comfortable and spacious accommodations when you stay at Sheraton Vistana Resort and Sheraton Vistana Villages in Orlando, Florida.
