Looks like thunderstorms are rolling in at Noon so I assume it was closing one way or another.

Question is who in Orlando will build the first mega indoor water park. Open 365 days a year.

Probably nobody

Isn't Great Wolf planned for Orlando in the next couple of years?

I thought I heard that rumor. They probably couldn't build it too big to meet demand. IMO.

Great Wolf is highly overrated.

Isn't Central Florida marketed on the fact that you can swim outdoors year-round and avoid indoor-waterpark-provided-sepsis?

Couldn't an outdoor waterpark in Orlando be open like 350 days a year without putting a building over/around it? That's probably the difference.

Not anywhere near 350 if you count near daily partial closures in the summer due to lightening.

I just think there might be a market if it were offered.

Hey kids, let's go down to sunny Florida and go to an indoor water park!

Things like Wisconsin Dells and Great Wolf do better in certain areas is because it's nice to drive to a water park in February in the Midwest when it's -15 degrees out. On a hot, sunny day I think people would choose a beach or something outdoors. You don't want to come back from a beach day with no tan.

I tought it was perfect in January at the Poconos location. Snow in the parking lot, and we are swimming.

Maybe, but not me. A water park already kind of feels like a giant bath with strangers, I think it being indoor would make that worse.

Indoor water parks are gross.

People go to Florida to be outside in the sun. Even if it does sometimes rain. The fact that this week has been particularly rainy does not change the fact that people go to Florida for sun.

How about one with a retractable roof?

How about retractable roofs over roller coasters too!!! They're super cheap!

They can be done inexpensively enough to justify the cost I think. Remember that many water slides are already enclosed and can be external to the structure. Just thinking outside the box.
