Top 10 Things To Do At Wild Rivers In Irvine

Top 10 Things To Do At Wild Rivers In Irvine

We are so fortunate to live in Southern California. The weather is like no other!

When I was a little girl, we loved to visit Wild Rivers in Irvine. My family was totally bummed when they closed on September 25, 2011. We are thrilled that they have relocated and have reopened this year. Wild Rivers is now bigger and better than ever before friends…

Here are some personal highlights of our day at Wild Rivers. The park is open seasonally, so make sure to visit before it closes!

Check out what we rated the top 10 things to do at Wild Rivers:

Thank you Wild rivers for hosting us and inviting us to play at your park. We had a blast!

There is sooo much to do and enjoy at the new Wild Rivers in Irvine.

This all-new waterpark transports you to the 1940s South Pacific and pays homage to the original MCAS El Toro. The waterpark is about adventure, discovery, and amazing fun with 20 thrilling water rides and attractions on 20-acres, nearly double the size of the original Wild Rivers.

1. For my thrill seeker friends ride, Bora Bora Boomerango!

Climb aboard a raft to begin an adventure with several other sheilas and blokes. The experience starts by navigating a winding, open-air flume. However, don’t let the tame start fool you mate, as soon you’ll be accelerating towards an abyss where you and your mates are left to plummet down a ripper drop to face a giant wall.

Are you brave enough to ride?

2. Ride Torguga!

Guests in six-person rafts take high speed twists and turns down an enclosed serpentine flume and are injected into large Aquaspheres with exciting oscillations around 90-degree corners. But that’s not all – after the Aquaspheres, guests shoot though the tight corners and high-banking turns of the Constrictor before concluding their ride by splashing into a pool.

3. Enjoy some yummy food or a treats!

Places to eat:

Pacific Grille– Lunch & Dinner, Snacks & Beverages

Island Sweets– Food, beverages, and snacks are presently sold at Pacific Grille and concession carts. Island Sweets will be opening soon.

Mustang Bar– Snacks & Beverages

Shaka Bay Grille– Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, & Beverages

4. Take your little ones to Cook’s Cove!

Central to the kid’s play area and essential in any new waterpark, this will be one of the largest rain fortresses in the world with 77 activities that are safe and fun for young children, including an 800-gallon tipping water bucket and several slides into a shallow zero entry pool. This will engage the younger kids for hours with tons of fun.

5. Race your friends at Tomcat Racers.

Your experience starts as you slide face first into one of six fully-enclosed AquaTubes that begin a 360-degree downward spiral descent. In route the excitement builds with light shining in colorful patterns through the Aqualucent tubes. With your speed increasing as you descend, each of the tubes realign (about the riders being side-by side) to begin the open air finale…a six-lane, side-by-side, steep plunge into the run out.

6. Reserve a private Cabana!

Enjoy the amazing perks of reserving a cabana.Each cabana comes with two chaise lounges, two chairs, a table, and a safe with cell phone charging to secure your personal belongings.

7. Relax and enjoy Castaway River.

When it’s time to escape the wild at Wild Rivers the gentle flowing currents of Castaway River call. Your adventure begins from either of our zero-depth beach entry points.

Grab a tube or simply take the plunge into the gentle flow and let the currents do the work.

We spent so much time here!

This 1/3-mile-long float will have you drift beneath two pedestrian bridges and past various water features, like bubbling fountains, a water wheel, and the chance to get soaked by colorful water buckets.

You can swim in the currents or relax while floating atop one of our provided tubes. Since it’s an endless river you can keep your adventure on Castaway River going for as long as you’d like.

8. Shaka Bay Wave Pool

This six-person rafting experience offers a multitude of sensations with tighter turns, higher banks and steep drops into the 20-foot diameter MEGAtube™. Riders finish by entering the eye of the storm and a zigzagging decent of fast, near vertical, oscillations before entering the splashdown pool. Typhoon will be a guest favorite.

9. Ride Typhoon!

Park Tips

Make sure to bring your:

Pack a water bottle to rehydrate throughout the day. (they also sell them if you don’t want to carry one)
Be prepared to rent a locker. You will definitely need one for your personal belongings.
Bring money for food, beverages, or snacks. *note no food is allowed
Pack your towels
Bring your sunblock and reapply throughout the day.

10. Last but not least… Make memories with your loved ones!

Time is so precious, and time with our family and friends is priceless!

Of course these are our personal favorite things to do. But there is sooo much to enjoy and I’m sure you will enjoy other things to. Check it out before the summer ends and it’s too late!

Happy Summer friends!~ Queen Bee Latina

Team Queen Bees: CHOC Adventure In The Park 2022

Team Queen Bees: CHOC Adventure In The Park 2022

I have a lot of things to be grateful for…

CHOC Hospital has been a HUGE part of our lives. My daughter Elisha was born with a really rare chromosome abnormality (Chromosome 4q deletion), This year, we will be fundraising the CHOC Adventure in The Park for our daughter Elisha.

They say that God only gives you what you can handle, but this has definitely been a very difficult journey for my family. I don’t usually write about this on my blog, because it’s very hard for me to open up and discuss this publicly. Elisha requires 24 hour care and nursing. She is in and out of the hospital, for numerous ongoing medical issues. It’s just become part of our “norm.”

I’ve decided to finally come out of my shell, and share our story. I feel this is important because I want to show my gratitude for everything CHOC has done for Elisha.

Join me Saturday, August 27th at the 2022 CHOC Adventure in the Park. Join my team or donate to #QueenBees here.

Carlos and I were young parents, and we had no idea of the amount of medical care that Elisha would need. CHOC was there for us from the very beginning. They helped us manage her care, and get the best medical treatments available. The doctors at CHOC were very compassionate, and helped us tremendously throughout most of her childhood.

Her pediatrician, Dr. Teresa Hollander, was wonderful and was very attentive. She often called us after her office hours at home, when Elisha was sick or not feeling well. She also helped us with her transition to adulthood.

Her life expectancy was only 7, but she is now she will be 30 years old in August. I cannot say that I have done this alone. My incredible parents, familia, Dr. Hollander, and the sensational CHOC staff have been a HUGE part of her story.

This year I will walk for my daughter Elisha and my niece Jerrica!

Muchismas Gracias CHOC, we could have not done this without you!

Join me Saturday, August 27th at the 2022 CHOC Adventure in the Park. Join my team or donate to #QueenBees here.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Hits Theaters July 15th Only

Earlier this week, we got an early screening of Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris in Los Angeles, California. This delightful Focus Features film hits theaters for one day ONLY, Friday July 15th!

When I was a little girl, I would get lost in the pages of Vogue magazine. I would dream about one day owning a couture Valentino dress, and yet my dream has not been fulfilled. The new film, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is an enchanting story of a London housemaid who lives out this very dream of owning a sensational gown like this.

Watch the official trailer here.

Synopsis

n 1950s London, a widowed cleaning lady falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, deciding she must have one of her own. After working to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris that will change not only her own outlook — but the very future of the House of Dior.

This inspiring film tells the story of a sweet and kind maid that lives in London. She lives a very ordinary life, but something would move her and change her forever.

She stumbles upon a Dior dress at one of her employer’s homes, and something inside of her says that she must own one herself. She saves every dime, and travels to Paris to find the dress of her dreams, not knowing what would be in store for her.

This new film showcases some historic couture dresses that took my breathe away. Oscar winning costume designer, Jenny Beavan worked with the Dior archival team in Paris to recreate famous 1950s designs for the film. (Cruella costume designer)

English actress, Lesley Manville stars as Ada Harris. She is compelling, endearing, and captivating. This film was smartly written, and the cast was brilliantly selected. I laughed, I cried, and I also fell in love with the magnificent fashion!

Go see it in theaters today!

Where the Crawdads Sing- Exclusive Interview with Director Olivia Newman

Where the Crawdads Sing- Exclusive Interview with Director Olivia Newman – Written By: Clarissa Camacho

Last week, Queen Bee Latina had the opportunity to interview the very talented director of this film, Olivia Newman. Newman was able to share some insights of what happened behind the scenes, as well as give the audience an insight to the creativity and heart that went behind producing this highly anticipated film.

Sony Pictures, “Where the Crawdads Sing” is a compelling story of love, tragedy, and heartache.

Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) in Columbia Pictures’ WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING.

This hauntingly, beautiful film is unlike any story I have heard of. It is symbolic for a number of reasons- as it details the dangers of being ostracized, domestic abuse- which boil down to classism, sexism…amongst other things.

Daisy Edgar Jones is the lead actress in this film, portraying the brilliant and shy – Kya. Kya is young lady, navigating her life in a world that seems to continuously disappoint. Kya’s life led in solitude eventually blossoms into something more. Something beautifully, unexpected. Actress- Daisy Edgar-Johns gives a compelling performance. She truly lends her heart and mind to the audience for the sake of authenticity. I cried, I laughed, but was ultimately left feeling fulfilled by the end of this film.

This film does depict some sensitive/graphic topics- SA, Domestic Abuse: Viewer Discretion is advised.

Synopsis:

Where the Crawdads Sing- Exclusive Interview with Film’s Director Olivia Newman Synopsis: Abandoned as a girl, Kya raised herself in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the marsh girl haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, she opens herself to a new and startling world. However, when one of them is found dead, Kya immediately becomes the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal many secrets.

Watch it in theaters July 15!

Pretty Woman The Musical Now at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

Pretty Woman The Musical Now at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

Pretty woman walking down the street…

This song has been playing in my head non-stop ever since I saw,”Pretty Woman The Musical!”

We are all familiar with this tune, and it brings us back to this beloved film. This classic love story’s musical adaptation is showing at Segerstrom Center for the Arts now through July 17th.

Thank you Segerstrom Center for the Arts for partnering on this post. All opinions are my own.

In addition to attending the shows debut, we dressed up, wore red and attended a special cocktail hour hosted by Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Silver Trumpet.

There we sipped on a delicious, “Pretty Woman Spritzer” pre-show. It really set the tone to this spectacular night, and I feel grateful for this unique experience.

This sensational musical is full of romance, charm and comedy. The multicultural cast was engaging and the vocal talent was electrifying. The sights and sounds brought me to downtown Hollywood, where the streets come alive and where the vibe is like no other. This theater show is sexy, colorful, vivacious and spirited.

This show has strong adult content and is probably not suitable for children. It ideally would be for a date night or special girls night out.

PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL, based on one of Hollywood’s most beloved romantic stories of all time, is now on tour! Starring Broadway superstar and Tony Award®-nominee Adam Pascal as Edward Lewis and rising star Olivia Valli as the charming and charismatic Vivian Ward, PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL springs to life with a powerhouse creative team led by two-time Tony Award®-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde).
