Hey guys, proud to post these news, since this is close to me! Camelback Mountain is building their first and only onsite hotel and indoor Waterpark! Check out some of the progress right here! Here is a video showcasing the waterslides in the waterpark!

The project will result in a 125,000 square foot water park that features 13 different water slides, of various shapes and sizes. Many of the attractions are being supplied by WhiteWater, and one of them is even a first-of-its-kind combo slide. When completed, Aquatopia will be the largest indoor water park in the Northeast United States.

Now that the indoor water park has been covered, the instillation of rides and slides has begun. Aquatopia has been steadily sharing progress photos, like the one seen here and below. The massive scale of the indoor space allows drop slides that top out at 65 feet - considerably taller than most indoor water park are able to offer! Other planned slides include mat racers, a Constrictor, several tube slides, the longest indoor water coaster and even trap-door drops. There will also be a surfing simulator, lazy river, and of course a big wave pool.

I'm excited to see the finished project in a few months! It is also interesting that just down the road Kalahari is also building a large indoor water park resort, with Proslide supplying the bulk of their attractions. Both new properties will join the existing Great Wolf Lodge that is also down the street - making quite a triad of indoor water park resorts!

I didn't realize this was so close to being done and it is literally 15 minutes away from me. I don't make nearly enough to go to these places though. I do plan on going to camelback next summer for Shermapalooza, a local festival held at the outdoor waterpark sponsered by the sherman theater, a venue here in the poconos for concerts and such
What are these for?
