Inside the new beachfront waterpark set to be the ‘biggest in the world’ – with huge pool, 12 slides and a lazy river
A NEW waterpark is opening in New Jersey this summer and it’s set to be the ‘biggest beachfront park in the world’.
The year-round destination measures in at over 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor fun.
The Showboat Atlantic City Hotel, located right along the boardwalk in the New Jersey beach town, has announced the “world’s premier indoor entertainment experience.”
A former casino, the hotel has undergone extensive renovations in recent months.
In June, the $100 million Island Waterpark is set to open.
Featuring more than a dozen waterslides, a lazy river, and more than 10,000 feet of splash pad, the waterpark will also have a retractable roof for year-round enjoyment.
Of course, there will be multiple pools for the whole family to enjoy.
Thrill seekers will enjoy the park’s surf simulator and side-by-side racing opportunities.
The waterpark will also feature restaurants, shops, lounges, and party rooms.
Also included as part of the overall hotel renovations are updates to the more than 400 guest rooms, plus an arcade and an indoor raceway.
“There is nothing I love more as a grandfather than watching my grandkids play and have fun,” Bart Blatstein, Tower Investments CEO and the resort’s owner, said in a statement Wednesday, per The Press of Atlantic City.
“That’s really the inspiration behind the mind-blowing experience that Showboat Resort brings to the boardwalk.”
Blatstein purchased the property after it closed in 2014.
“In terms of the design, the scale, the location, the one-of-a-kind offerings, and the dynamic mix of entertainment for adults and kids, no other family-fun resort in the region or even the world compares to it,” Blatstein said.
Further renovations and additions to the property are expected to be completed later this year.
