Hey, Rapids Waterpark...STFU!!!

Years have gone by while this was still up in the air and not a peep out of you. Now that it looks like this project will come to fruition, suddenly you want to bid on it. The REAL REASON why you are now interested in building a waterpark at that location is because you don't want competition.

Schlitterbahn owner Jeff Henry is more than just a waterpark owner, he is a designer who treats his waterpark designs as art. Henry has promised that the Ft. Lauderdale Schlitterbahn will be his last and BEST waterpark. It will probably be the BEST such park in the world and its proposed location is only about 10 minutes from where I live.

I have been waiting YEARS for this Schlitterbahn and now suddenly Rapids Waterpark acts like it is interested after silence from them. All they care about is keeping out the competition.

When I hear ‘water park’, I think ‘e. coli’.

I just see all the kiddos there in swim diapers and kind of gag...

Schlitterbahn has come a long way since its conception and original park in New Braunfels, Texas.

...great vacation destination.

The one at New Braunfels, TX is really neat. Comal River tubing/etc. closed due to flooding but will reopen soon. Lovely place.

I suspect that Rapids knows that Schlitterbahn will bury them.

Not having been to the Rapids park, I don’t know if it’s any good, or if it’s like Water Country USA that is being run into the ground by Busch Gardens.

This is Broward county...home of hanging chads and the most corrupt county officials in the USA. This will be settled by who pays the biggest bribes.

I don’t see what the harm is, South Florida is paved over from Palm Beach down to Key Largo anyways, may as well build something nice for the community. The last water park in Broward was by where the roller coaster is now. As a younger man I went a few times before it closed down. Fun stuff.
