The lodge will occupy about 425,000 sf and include a 90,000-sf water park, 400 suites, a restaurant, a 7,000-sf arcade, an Aveda Concept Spa, fitness center, gift shop and 6,500 sf of meeting space including a tiered audio/visual symposium. It is scheduled to open in fall 2005. Plans eventually include condominiums and potential timeshare projects on a portion of the remaining land.
The four-story water park includes 10 waterslides, a wave pool, four pools and two whirlpools along with a water-based fun center and a giant tree house at its center with suspension bridges, web crawls and more than 60 guest-activated water effects. Every few minutes a 48-foot-tall bucket pours 1,000 gallons of water over the entire fort.
