Just wanted to get my part in early. Feel free to make any edits to improve cohesion. I humbly offer...
Mermaid Lagoon Swimming Hole
Guests who wander toward the northeastern side of the camping ground will find themselves in a lush, tropically-themed landscape surrounded by beautifully-carved, rainbow-colored rock formations. Guests will recognize this swimming hole as 'Mermaid Lagoon' from 'Peter Pan.' While the mermaids themselves are not visibly present (their absence is likely attributed to the threat of nearby pirates), their presence is still very much felt by guests. The faint yet enchanting sounds of their singing occasionally echoes off the rocks at sunset, and guests can often hear them giggling and splashing in the nearby grottos. The swimming hole itself is loosely divided into three sections: a central swimming area, a waterslide landing area, and a separate area dedicated to younger guests. The waterslide, a spiral, teal-colored slide with a simple yet efficient design, will compliment the nearby swimming hole nicely. The waterslide landing area itself is stationed just beside the main pool area, mainly due to safety concerns. Both the waterslide landing area and main swimming hole are not at all divided; guests can access both areas by simply swimming to each end.
The 'kiddie pool,' on the other hand, is divided by a large body of rock. It is here that younger guests can enjoy a dip in the pool without parents having to worry about compromising their safety. The pool is shallow enough for both adults and even the youngest of their children to safely enjoy. It is here that Captain Hook's infamous pirate galleon, The Jolly Roger, is anchored, a faithful yet perhaps slightly scaled-down recreation of the ship from the film. The ship is primarily here for aesthetic purposes, although guests might find it has a few surprises in store for them at night. As an added bonus, the rock formations that stretch across the entire area are padded to further reduce the inherent safety risks that come along with pool areas of this nature. Additionally, guests can enjoy the swimming hole during both the day and night hours; the entire area is heated, and so the fun continues even when the sun sets on the Anaheim sky. The most exciting element of the swimming hole, however, is exclusive to nighttime swimmers. As older guests enjoy the central pool area, they'll hear the sound of panpipes in the air, followed by the sight of a familiar shadow skating along the rock formations. The shadow will fly around the pool area, much to the delight of guests, who continue to swim and splash alongside each other. Suddenly, the sound of a loud 'BOOM' will blast through the air. What's that? Cannonfire! A massive splash of water blasts through the surface of the pool, along with a flash of blue light. Peter Pan's shadow circles around the lagoon, taunting the culprit of the cannonfire, the nearby Jolly Roger. The shadow, achieved by means of simple projection mapping, combined with the sound of cannonfire, lighting effects, and water blasts, achieved with hidden underwater cannons a la 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' create an immersive, altogether exciting swimming experience for guests that can't be matched by any other swimming hole. The mini-show will occur every ten minutes, with the position of the cannonfire alternating at random.
