So I just got my first inside scoop from a loosely lipped employee and figured I would share it with the world :lol:

Apparently their new additions next year will be 2 Flowrider machines and then the following year a bar :happy:

I live 3 miles away from it and haven't been since the mid 90s :lol: Granted I haven't lived this close that long, before that about half hour away. It's just too expensive, $40 something a pop and no annual pass options or anything. I'd rather just use my AP and go to Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon while up in Orlando

Omg this thread brought back so many memories of this park, West Palm Beach is my hometown, I remember when this park was just the 5 yellow slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and the set of the blue and magenta slides, this park has really grown.

They have added a lot over the years and actually a decent little waterpark.

I grew up at that water park. It was always a field trip spot for my school, but it was overly priced. Glad to see its still booming 15 years later. :lol:
