With
five
indoor
water
parks, Wisconsin
Dells,
Wisconsin is
supposed
to
be
recognized
as
the
"Water
Park
Capital
of
the
World".
It
showcases
several
of
America's
largest
indoor
and
outdoor
water
parks,
such
as Noah's
Ark
Water
Park.
Indoor
water
parks
in
Wisconsin
Dells
debuted
in
1994
after
the
Polynesian
Resort
Hotel
built
the
first
one
in
the
U.S.
Success
in
extending
the
tourist
season
and
turning
water
park
resorts
into
vacation
destinations
has
resulted
in
tremendous
industry
growth.
Usually,
resort
hotels
featuring
massive
indoor
water
parks
have
been
reserved
for
overnight
guests.
Companies
like Great
Wolf
Resorts/Great
Wolf
Lodge
and Kalahari
Resorts have
branched
out
from
their
origin
in
Wisconsin
Dells
to
open
new
locations
around
the
country.
Mt.
Olympus
Theme
and
Water
Park
(formerly
Family
Land)
is
another
huge
water
park
in
the

The
largest
indoor
water
park
in
the
UK
is Sandcastle
Water
Park in Blackpool,
England,
which
opened
in
1986.[15]
There
are
many
water
parks
in
southern
Europe
where
the
climate
suits
a
long
season.
For
example,
in Portugal's Algarve,
there
are
three
main
parks:
Aqualand,
Aquashow,
and
Slide
n'
Splash.
The
growth
of
indoor
water
parks
has
encouraged
leisure
centres
across
the
world
to
begin
implementing
features
of
waterparks
into
their
facilities,
including
slides
and
lazy
rivers.
