Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, US, is to double the size of its waterpark next year as part of a $6.3m (£3.5m) development.
The first stage of the extension of Splashin’ Safari will include the introduction of a new themed wave pool called Bahari.
The president of Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, Will Koch, said that Bahari is Swahili for ‘immense sea’ and that the new pool will be nearly twice the size of the park’s existing wave pool.
The development will also see a new food outlet added as well as a second dedicated smoking area.
In the adjacent theme park, Holiday World, a new ride called Revolution will replace the Roundhouse ride in the 4th of July section. Details: www.holidayworld.com
