747 lands in Oregon water park, just for fun
Jun 7th, 2011 at 11:45AM: What has ten water slides, a wave pool and a children's museum dedicated to teaching students about the power of water? Its Evergreen Wings and Waves, the nations newest water park at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon and that 747 is there to stay.
Called "the only water park that comes with an aviation and space museum" Wings and Waves opened this week with rides ...SeaWorld San Antonio announces Aquatica Texas
May 28th, 2011 at 11:00AM: SeaWorld recently announced plans to build another Aquatica water park. More than just a traditional water park, SeaWorld San Antonio's new Aquatica Texas will include thrilling water slides, serene rivers, a large sandy beach area, and animal encounters.
Among the new water rides, Stingray Rapids sounds the most interesting. The 5 seat raft ride is described as the only one of its kind in the ...
Alleged flasher sues water park after arrest
Aug 6th, 2010 at 9:00AM: Jane Lovett's wet t-shirt aroused water park officials to take action last April. She was asked to leave the park because her padded bra was visible through the t-shirt (the horror!), and once she did leave, the cops were waiting. Apparently, she has been charged with indecent exposure, which would put every sunbather on Central Park's Great Lawn at risk of facing a firing squad (padded bras are ...Water park shut down because of burgers, fries, mozzarella
Aug 1st, 2010 at 4:30PM: Is it a pool or an aquatic buffet?
Vandals made a mess of the Waterworks Waterpark in Prince William County, Virginia, and law enforcement is ready to slap the cuffs on someone. Hamburger patties, fries and pretzels were tossed into the pool, but the nastiest bit was smearing mozzarella cheese on the water slide. Of course, you wouldn't want to put any of this near your lips.
The culinary ...Legoland California Water Park prepares for May 28 opening
May 12th, 2010 at 6:00PM: The water is flowing to fill up the pools and slides at the Legoland Water Park, which opens May 28 in Carlsbad, California.
Legoland brought in local firefighters for a "bucket brigade" photo op to start filling the park's lazy river. In Legoland fashion, the river is called the Build-A-Raft River, and kids will be able to build their own raft out of soft Lego building blocks.
The new park ...Theme park news roundup: The word of the day is giga-coaster
Apr 7th, 2010 at 3:00PM: The new Intimidator 305 roller coaster has opened at Kings Dominion theme park in Richmond, VA. The coaster, named in honor of the late NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, has ride cars that look like Earnhardt's famous black Chevy. Earnhardt's daughter Taylor visited the park last week to open the ride.
The Intimidator 305 screams along at 92 miles per hour, thanks to a 300-foot drop at the ...
LEGOLAND Water Park to follow 6th year of growth
Jan 9th, 2010 at 1:00PM: The first looks at the world's first LEGO® water park were revealed recently at LEGOLAND California Resort. So far, it's only an artist's rendering of the new water park, but that's the first step toward getting drenched.
This new initiative follows the park's successes with the new Bob the Builder™ 4-D movie and the presidential inauguration scene in Miniland U.S.A. These new ...Budget travel with a twist: Try out for TV commercial singing competition for water park passes, cash and more
May 25th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Here's a budget travel twist. Sing your way to free water park passes and some cash. With American Idol over until next year's search for the next star, CoCo Key Water Resort is putting on a singing competition to tide any warblers over and find a star for one of its commericals.
This nationwide search wants talent and creativity mixed in with fun. The way I see it, this is a seriously doable ...Budget summer vacation from Chicago - road trip to Santa Claus, Indiana
May 8th, 2009 at 1:30PM: Chicago is in the unfortunate position of being surrounded by a whole lot of nothing. It doesn't matter which direction you are heading, you'll need to drive several hours till you finally reach something that isn't in the Chicagoland metro area, or anything remotely fun (Sorry Milwaukee, but I don't consider you to be that cool a destination, unless it is during Summerfest). If you are looking ...Millions of Brits are camping, world confused
Apr 12th, 2009 at 4:30PM: When I saw the headline in The Sun – the tabbiest of the British tabloids – I half dismissed it as nonsense and half looked out my window for four horsemen with a hell of a lot of attitude. Brits are flocking to the forests, it seems, thanks to a brutal drop in the British pound relative to the Euro. Camping is what they can afford. This does seem like a just punishment for a nation ...Spring deals for indoor waterpark lodges
Apr 11th, 2009 at 12:15PM: With warm weather barely hovering, the idea of finding a place where temperatures feel more tropical is appealing. You don't have to head south to find it. Several indoor waterpark resorts are offering spring deals to entice travelers. I'm heading to one of them myself.
Cherry Valley Lodge in Ohio is a deal-making expert. Tomorrow, for example, by ordering two adult entrees at the lodge's ...New energy efficient waterpark with retractable glass roof just opened
Mar 15th, 2009 at 10:30AM: Back in 2007 the West Baden Springs Hotel reopened in French Lick, Indiana as part of a casino resort complex. Today French Lick has a new addition, this one something kids will also like. Big Splash Adventure Water Park.
Just like the spectacular atrium of the hotel makes it unique, the water park has a feature that most indoor water parks don't. The glass ceiling is retractable making the year ...Six Flags New England: A Day Out
Jul 9th, 2007 at 10:27AM: Here are a few things I discovered about Six Flags New England in Springfield, Massachusetts. If you leave 13 towels and assorted other belongings piled together on two chairs in Hurricaine Harbor water park and forget that the water park closes at 7:00 PM, the park people collect all belongings and bring them to the Lost and Found near the park's main gate. But, what ends up at Lost and Found is ...Hot? Bothered? Cool off in a Public Pool
May 28th, 2007 at 11:33AM: Las Vegas's casino pools aren't the only pools to lure visitors. Parks and recreation centers across the U.S. are also places to jump in for a cool off whether you are from a town or not. If you are out of the U.S., swimming at a city recreation pool is also possible. One of my most favorite times in Taiwan when I went as a visitor was swimming in one of the community pools in Taichung.
Because ...Waterpark Hotel in Chi-Town
Apr 9th, 2006 at 10:37AM: Must have
been one heck of a cold day in Illinois when creators of the Mayan
Adventure Indoor Waterpark came up with the idea, but regardless of the circumstances the area is pleased to
welcome the new family fun venue and hoping to keep tourism dollars in Illinois. Up until this point residents of the
area had been driving three or more hours to reach a similar attraction in Wisconsin. $30 ...
