Amusement Leisure Worldwide is a major player in the waterpark resort industry. Their flagship is the installation of a 41,000 outdoor wave pool at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. However, they also work with small economy theme park owners that want to enhance their pools or add a waterpark.

Mid-Priced Waterparks

Mid-priced theme parks in the UK average 202 facilities and rates of £85. Having a waterpark can increase the average facility rate up to £145 for a mid-priced theme park. Mid-priced theme parks come in two types: (1) Without Food & Beverage and (2) With Food & Beverage.

Only a few mid-priced theme parks Without F&B have expanded their pools or added waterparks. Food is important when attracting the family market. There is usually a restaurant next door.

Leisure travelers using an waterpark want to be able to get deli-style snack food inside the waterpark and enjoy an evening meal in the theme park restaurant. Obviously, the decision to build a waterpark depends upon many factors, such as site selection, lodging-recreation supply & demand, population, household incomes and the number of families with kids up to age 14 within 200 miles. Two other important factors are proximity to major markets and access to interstate highways. However, if market demand is present, a Mid-Priced Theme park with 200 facilities will likely support a 30,000 sf waterpark. Construction costs of the waterpark will vary between £263 and £300 per square foot. One waterslide can cost £100,000. In addition to square footage, the major cost variables ...
