The 2019 WW guest survey asks you to rank interest in the addition of body slides, large raft family rides and a grotto activity pool.

Anything about an adult pool with floating bar?

Now that might make me buy season passes.

I'm surprised that SF doesn't have one. They do at OOF/WOF

Obviously COVID has ground things to a halt, but it sure seems that WW development has dropped off.

Wasn't the drop slide the last major new ride? That was back in 2014...

We've always said WW is undersized, but they were making some great strides there for awhile with all the upgrades. I am amazed that competition has not moved in on them, but obviously it came pretty close with the big proposal a few years ago.

It is a shameful excuse of a Waterpark for who owns it.

Have there been any announcements about White Water upgrades this off-season? has anyone seen any work going on?

The lack of significant investment in White Water keeps making me think part of the $500 million decade-long SDC improvement will be a new Water park adjacent to SDC.

Yes the new waterpark is inevitable at this point. I wonder if they'll send the existing slides from White Water to one of their newly acquired waterparks. They'll have zero problems selling the land to Ballparks of America. They recently bought the old Rosebud Hotel that's right behind the employee parking lot of WW

SDC/HFE does not own the land that White Water currently sits on. That land is owned by the City of Branson, and leased to them. The City of Branson also owns the land that Ballparks sits on.
