Summer is just around the corner which means everyone is headed out to the theme parks. While it may be hot outside, you don’t have to be by riding these rides.

Families around the country are gearing up for the summer travel season. And for many people, that means visiting a theme park for a few days. Whether you’re headed to a Disney Park, Universal, or your local theme park, you can bet it’s going to be hot. With temperatures in some places reaching over one hundred degrees, plenty of water and some cool-down time is going to be the key to a successful vacation.

While getting your money’s worth at the parks is definitely important, staying cool and feeling great while walking around and enjoying the sights is the most important. Most people tend to try to cool off by walking through the souvenir shops to be doused with cold air, some people bring portable fans, and others grab a frozen snack like ice cream. But what if you’re just looking for a ride to get on with some sort magical cooling powers?

From log flume rides like Splash Mountain to vast indoor queue spaces such as Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, the options for cooling down are endless and plentiful at theme parks. We’ve rounded up 15 of the best attractions from various theme parks across the country that are sure to keep everyone in your group cool and ready for more fun.
