I know my wording is going to sound odd, but has anyone ever considered doing an all water-themed amusement park? I'll try to explain what I mean below.

I'm not talking like TL or BB where all you have are wave pools & water slides. I mean, all water based attractions. For example, putting things like Splash Mountain, Ripsaw Falls, Popeye, KRR, etc. into a park along with wave pools & water slides?

Some people don't enjoy doing water rides in regular amusement parks because they don't want to walk around soaked all day (Florida sun or not). If there were a park like what I mentioned, guests could just plan a day for that park knowing in advance they will be wet & riding water rides & attractions all day. I think UNI could create a new & more wet version of Jaws to headline a park like that. Then fill it in with a raft ride like Popeye, & a couple dark flume rides, or maybe a water shooting ride like MiB but with water guns instead, & of course your token wave pool, water slides, lazy river, etc.

Sorry, just got my brain clicking & wondered if this had ever been considered or blue-skied at all.

You know, I always wondered why nobody has done that here in Florida yet. That would be much better than a regular water park. Imagine the possibilities!!

I could literally flesh out about 12 attractions, some similar to each other but different in other ways, to accompany water slides, wave pools, & lazy rivers. I think that would give you a pretty full day enjoyable park for water rides of all kinds.

Over the last fifteen years I have come up with so many ideas and concepts for a themed water theme park...something with so much to do, that it'd easily be a full day experience.

Anybody want to give me about $200 million dollars to build it? I'd let you guys reap the benefits as well as free admission! ;)

Even though I'd love to see SL get an update, JP needs one badly. River Adventure is not 45-60 minute waits now, Just yesterday and the day before I was there and both days were hot, humid, and steamy days. The most wait for it I saw was 15 minuets, and Rip Saw Falls was shut down. I've always liked JP but it seems Universal hasn't touched it besides taking out Triceratops Encounter, which personally I think they should bring back. PF is a ride for the young ones it always is pushing 60+ wait times, but that's because no express and the ride doesn't really have that many cars on the track plus only 2 people per car can really make wait times bad. I love JP and I think it's time for a face lift and a new mine trian ride, possibly to compete with the Seven Dwarfs Mine train.
