In the simplest of terms, our dream facility combines the inter-action of an aquarium with the education of a conservatory, along with the excitement of a waterpark. Professional marine and terrestrial biologists will staff and manage the wildlife areas of the park. Much care will be taken to keep the aquatic systems and wildlife environments separate to maintain the integrity of the habitats.
Guests will chart a course along the park's rivers and wave pools and experience the sights and sounds of far away ecosystems. But even if they've visited the park before, guests will have a reason to return again and again. That's because the park will be like a museum whose exhibits and theming change periodically. Both flora and fauna can be transformed from an Amazon jungle to the Outback to the Mississippi Delta. This rendering shows an ecosystem that depicts an Egyptian Nile theme.
What's more, the waterpark is indoors, so the weather is perfect every day. The roof's glass panels provide the view and sunlight that makes guests feel as though they're outdoors, without having to worry about the sun's harmful rays. No one will ever go home with sunburn at this park. And state-of-the-art ozone and saltwater chlorination for pool disinfection keeps the water safe and healthy.
Here are a few highlights of the waterpark and what the rendering reveals:
A grand entrance makes a great first impression. As guests enter the facility, a world opens up to them and the choices for adventure seem endless. Glass walls from the hotel lobby allow visitors to overlook the park. The mountains and foliage surround those windows, making guests feel as though they are already part of the experience.
Within various dry spaces throughout the park, there are many interactive exhibits that reveal information about the ecosystem and stress the importance of a sustainable and diverse world. These spaces also allow room for live entertainment. Venues can include popular cartoon characters, parades, local entertainment or celebrity guests and autograph signings. These opportunities make the stay memorable, and also serve as photo opportunities, providing an additional revenue stream for owners.
An extensive river flows throughout and forms the heart of this facility. It meanders through the mountains and empties into the wave pool. It will chart a course that mimics the world's greatest rivers and allow guests to get up close and personal with dolphins, otters, fish and more. As such, this river is a floating live exhibition lined with aquariums and glass cages containing animals native to the ecosystem. This aspect makes the river an educational journey as well as an entertaining experience. As the river enters the mountain, it becomes a glass tunnel with marine animals swimming above and below the riders.
