The newest Nickelodeon resort has officially opened its doors in the Caribbean: Karisma’s new Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Riviera Maya. And the resort has a very special perk: every single room is of the swim-up variety. he new property has 280 suites — and all of them are oceanfront, swim-up units.

The highlight of the property is a six-acre water park called Aqua Nick, with 2,000 square feet of water slides, along with river rides, a lazy river and amenities like the Paw Patrol Adventure Bay interactive playground.

Great Wolf Lodge, Manteca will open on June 29th 2021

Like a slumbering giant, the Great Wolf Lodge water park resort in Manteca is just waiting for its moment to spring to life.

The massive hotel, indoor water park and family entertainment complex just off Highway 120 is still about a month out from its grand opening after enduring almost a full year of pandemic delays. On Tuesday, local media, including The Bee, got a first look inside the completed development, which is expected to become a regional tourism draw across Northern California and beyond.

The resort’s six-story hotel, 95,000-square-foot indoor water park and 45,000-square-foot family entertainment center have been completed, but sitting vacant, since last summer when construction finished.

The last time local media toured the still-under-construction building at the start of March 2020, Great Wolf Resort (the parent company of the North American indoor water park resort chain) management was so confident in its progress it announced the Manteca site would open a full month earlier than planned, in July 2020. But then the pandemic worsened and all plans were put on hold for a year.

The construction of a multi-million-pound water park resort in Oxfordshire will start next year. American company Great Wolf Resorts (GWR) is to shortly begin the search for a construction contractor to undertake the development of Great Wolf Lodge in Chesterton, near Bicester.

The development will bring a £200 million investment into the local area – creating 1,000 jobs during construction and around 600 jobs to operate the resort.

After having just finished a decade of unparalleled growth, The Dollywood Company is embarking on an ambitious investment strategy that will see the Smoky Mountain vacation destination invest more than half-a-billion dollars over the next 10 years across its properties. Announced today, one of the first projects in the campaign is the 302-room Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort.

The new HeartSong Lodge, located adjacent to the much-heralded Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa, serves as the next element in the company’s thriving lodging business.

This reimagined Smoky Mountain lodge features four-story, lantern-inspired windows in the resort’s welcoming atrium, epic indoor and outdoor pools that provide guests a refreshing escape in all seasons, and a picture-perfect outdoor cove with family gathering spaces, communal fire pit and screened-in porch. With 26,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space, the property can accommodate gatherings for several hundred guests. From the two-story HeartSong Event Center to spacious outdoor meeting spaces and event lawn, the resort offers numerous options to provide a unique and inspiring setting for groups.

Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort is set to open to guests in 2023.

Officials at the OWA entertainment complex, Gravity Island, in Foley, Alabama, USA are excited with the progress being made on its new indoor waterpark attraction and other amenities that will be a part of it.

“In addition to the indoor waterpark, we’ll have the outdoor wave pool that will have the surf simulator within it, there will be an outdoor tiki bar and a large stage where we can hold concerts and dive-in movies as well as a lot of other interactive entertainment,” Director of Marketing and PR at OWA Kristin Hellmich said. “Within the indoor waterpark we’ll have multiple slides that will come off the slide tower. One of those slides is actually going to drop down through our basement and we’ll be sharing more on that very soon. We’ll have a kiddie play area, food and beverage location, tiki bars and really the full experience.”

“Our goal is the spring of 2022,” Hellmich said. “We have not released an exact date yet but as we continue with construction progress, we are well on our way. But as we continue with that, we are certainly going to start releasing those dates and dialing it in. But we do expect to be open by this time next year.”
