Margaritaville Resort in Orlando Is Opening a Water Park
By Shay Spence, People
Orlando is getting a new theme park, and you might want to get your fins up in anticipation.
The Margaritaville Resort Orlando—one of the latest projects in Jimmy Buffett‘s ever-expanding empire of restaurants, hotels, casinos and even retirement homes—is set to open in January of 2019, and they just announced plans for an on-property water park.
H20 Live!, which will open in the spring, is being touted in the resort’s press release as central Florida’s “most immersive water park,” and will include nine thrill rides, a lazy river, a wave pool, a kids’ area, and a family-friendly river raft adventure. For the parrotheads looking for a more chill experience, there will be “tropically-inspired havens” throughout the property which boast hammocks, cabanas and sandy beaches, as well as adults-only areas for tropical cocktails.
In lieu of a monorail, each section of the resort will be connected through a trolley system—though it is also walkable.
While arguably their most ambitious project to date, this is one of seven Margaritaville resorts slated to open in the coming months, with other properties in the works in New York City, Costa Rica, The Bahamas, Nashville and the Ozarks.
