We've got two schools of thought here. One says that the best way to get cool in the parks is to get on an underwear-soaking water ride and get drenched to stay cool. The other claims the best way to escape the heat is to get out of the sun and into an indoor, air-conditioned theater.
The water ride will leave you dripping for a while after you finish the ride, but the benefits of the indoor show end just as soon as you step back outside. The flip side argues that theme park water ride water is, well, often pretty icky. And after you dry, you're going to feel sticky and worse than you did before. Water rides are fun, but they can't beat air conditioning for overall comfort.
Which side are you on?
Full disclosure: I'm on #TeamAC here, not #TeamSplash. In my Orange County Register column this week, I offer my Top 10 picks for the best indoor shows to cool off in Southern California theme parks, plus five bonus picks for the Orlando parks.
What are your favorite attractions for cooling off at your favorite parks, anywhere in the world?

Me, I like to duck into the cooler stuff at Epcot, including the various pavilions in World Showcase, admire that stuff more.
