Mankey said:The thing is, Cariba is actually one of the highest quality water parks I've been to! But, ironically, its one of the smallest and one that runs out of things to do fairly quickly. I think adding a bit more would be a very wise addition! One new slide could entice a great number of guests fairly quickly!
A bowl would be nice! As would a wave pool or a vortex pool!

Ollie said:In an ideal world, the indoor roof would be extended to cover the Flash Floods, creating additional poolside space, and slides would go out of the extended structure, but this would no doubt be very expensive!
Cariba said:The issue is whether Alton want it to be an add-on to the hotel as it currently is, or a full blown second park as it is advertised.

Plans for 4 slides coming from a central tower have been sent to Merlin by the Waterpark to be added in an extended area outside. This isn't the first time that this has been attempted. As of yet no theme or landscaping has been shown on any plans and they say at the bottom that they are preliminary and not for construction use.
James said:I'll have to post up a rough map drawing of my idea.
Basically I had the idea of extending the indoor waterpark, to the point it completely covers the already outdoor area, then extends even further back. Then behind/next to Extraordinary Golf a new Waterpark entrance would be built for guests. The current entrance inside the Splash Landings Hotel would be strictly for hotel guests only, although they would be free to use the exterior entrance.
Along side this though would also be the entertainments complex/second theme park entrance. Linking the resort and theme park together. It would also open up the new Waterpark entrance to this complex, allowing daily guests easy access into the Waterpark without causing stress on the hotels - which at the moment for me, is a huge issue - the amount of day guests walking through that hotel is completely unneeded for, they need an outdoor entrance!
I'd disagree with you there.cotda said:Moving the entrance wont happen, the existing entrance lets merlin 'show off' the hotel to non guests, encouraging a stay
Possibly a proposed outdoor pool re-development idea?saxineno said:So I was in Cariba Creek yesterday and there was a lady going around with a clipboard that said "Proposed Outdoor Pool re-development" on it. Any idea what that's all about?
