Ground was broken in September for the waterpark that will feature a whimsical theme of an enchanted land with elves, fairies and creative play areas with two, four-story tube slides, a dumping bucket for surprise showers, a body slide for thrills, a lazy river for smooth sailing, a toddler pool for safe adventures and more.
"We are making great progress with the foundation for the waterpark and hotel additions," said Zehnder's of Frankenmuth CEO and Chairman, Al Zehnder. "At the same time our design consultants are working on the interior theme features that will give our young guests plenty of wet and fun experiences." The build/design team includes Water Technology, Inc., Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and Architectural Design Consultants, Lake Delton, Wisconsin.
