$90 Million Water Park That Tourists Are Craving For About To Set In The US

Set in Nashville, the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center plans to put up a water park that would amount to about $90 million. The area of the complex would cover at least 217,000 square feet which include towering water slides, restaurants, bars and a place for live entertainment.

The water park would be set on a big parking lot at the resort itself according to the NASHVILLEPOST. It's a three-story setup which would include water facilities, restaurants, and other activity centers.

USA Today reported that company is foreseeing the water park to fully operate late in 2018. Ryman Hospitality, the company behind the project, has announced on Wednesday that the name of the park would be called Soundwaves which would both include outdoor and indoor facilities.

The whole setup of the water park is massive and intricate at the same time. According to NewsChannel5, different structures are included in the indoor section of the complex like the pool basketball area, waterfalls, activity lagoon with rock climbing lazy river and rapid river. The park also plans to include a sun deck, adult-only area and a restaurant indoors.

Meanwhile, for those guests who love the outdoors, a wave pool encircled by cabanas can be enjoyed while a movie plays on a screen. Outdoor music events will also be held each summer and adult-only pool areas will also be included. Indoor and outdoor facilities are included in the plans so that tourists can enjoy the water park all throughout the year.

An estimated 1,300 jobs would be given to people during the construction period and an estimated 700 jobs will be given to people permanently when the water park fully operates. It's been said by Ryman Hospitality Properties CEO that the company's water park would generate taxes around $4.6 million both locally and in the state.

The Soundwaves water park would not only be an attraction for the locals but it would also attract guests nationally and internationally. It's another item that should be on every traveler's bucket list.
