Looks like there will be another waterpark in the works for Orlando in 2010, and this time, it's indoor!
To waterpark fans like me, this is, of course, great news. I also like the approach these folks are using by purchasing existing properties and modifying them, verses starting from the ground up. Granted, every situation is different and has it's own construction requirements, but this is a smart idea in tough economic times. If the cost to update/modify is less than completely new, why not?
The Wildernesss resorts and CoCo Key resorts will be interesting to watch, particularly in how they grow over the next couple years. Both Great Wolf Lodge and Kalahari resorts (among notable others) have set some interesting benchmarks that other companies MIGHT just have to measure up to in order to stay afloat (yes I meant that). It could come down to types of water attractions or entertainment pairings offered. As an example, Great Wolf Lodge offers MagiQuest at some of their locations as well as water coasters and things like bowl slides.
Even so, it's good to see another park on the horizon, and another unique perspective. Just like with everyone else covered here on the blog, success and well wishes to CoCo Key. You just gave me yet another reason to smile about the move to Orlando.
