A Year For
Growth
The waterpark industry in the U.S. is poised to expand
in 2014 with new slides and more square feet.
T
By David J. Sangree, MAI, CPA, ISHC
he amount of indoor and outdoor waterpark square footage will grow at a faster rate in 2014 than in any year since
the Great Recession. Twelve indoor waterpark resorts or
standalone indoor waterparks will be opened or expanded
in 2014 compared to 9 in 2013. The projected 370,000 new
indoor square feet in 2014 dwarfs the 68,000 indoor square feet
added in 2013. Eight private outdoor waterparks are projected to
open in 2014 compared to 5 in 2013.
Inside the indoor waterpark numbers
The number of U.S. waterparks reached 834 by March 2014,
with the majority being outdoor waterparks (most of which are
municipal). This is an increase from our April 2013 industry overview of waterparks, which indicated there were 796 waterparks in
the United States. (See chart page 47).
The Midwest is home to 337 waterparks, which is the greatest
number of any U.S. region. The Midwest leads in the number of
indoor waterpark resorts and standalone indoor waterparks and is
The

in 2014.
a close second to the South for outdoor waterparks. The Midwest
will continue its stronghold in 2014. Of the new indoor waterpark
resorts and expansions scheduled, eight are in the Midwest, two in
the Northeast, one in the West and one in Canada.
Although indoor waterparks continued to grow and expand,
square footage increases haven’t truly soared since 2008. (The high
point was close to a 900,000-square-foot increase in 2006.) This
year marks a great stride in the increase in overall square footage.
(See chart page 48).
With 77,000-square-feet of waterpark, Rippin’ Rapids Resort
& Adventure Sports is the largest indoor waterpark projected to
open in 2014. The South Dakota facility will feature waterslides,
tubes, a surf simulator, a rock wall, zip lines, rope courses and a
100-room hotel.
Following a closure and extensive renovation, the Great Wolf
Lodge in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, will increase the number of
hotel rooms at the former Holiday Inn from 245 to 407 and double the former CoCo Key waterpark in size to 68,000 square feet.
The facility will also feature several dining options and more than
12,000 square feet of conference space.
Other significant projects include the Mt. Olympus Resort indoor
waterpark expansion with 55,000 additional square feet and the
new Snohomish Aquatic Center with 52,000 square feet. These larger projects are significant for 2014 growth, as their sizes are larger
than anything developed or expanded in 2013. (See chart page 48).
The largest indoor waterpark project last year was the reopening of Maui Sands in Sandusky, Ohio. It opened 224 rooms and
35,000 square feet of waterpark space in 2013. This year it is due to
open the remaining 172 hotel rooms. In 2015, two major indoor
waterpark destination resorts are due to open in the Poconos: the
453-room Camelback Resort and the 457-room Kalahari Resort,
adding 220,000 square feet collectively.

Articles
We look for stories
that focus on the
latest industry
developments,
innovations and
technological
advancements.
These articles
provide direction
and motivation
to operators
at all levels of
management.
engagement with
consumers is what
makes social media
marketing a powerful
marketing tool.
To build your
followers, a
great strategy is
to personalize
your company.
IdentIfy your Influencers
So there is the first key of social media marketing: engagement with your fans. In the case of
amusement and waterparks, a big portion of influence can be found with parents, who are typically
the ones planning a family outing and who control
the spending. While we don’t want to shy away
from appealing to younger consumers, the reality is that parents are more often than not the ones
buying the tickets. So how do we engage them?
We’ve already identified our influencers, and so
the first step is to find out which social media communities they frequent. Start by Googling your
brand and noting the results. If there are a number
of search results that lead you to social media posts,
you’ve got your targets. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will most likely lead the charge, so we’ll focus on some strategies within those channels.
For all of these communities, getting your target
audience to “like” and follow your brand is huge.
When people like and follow you, your brand will
also show up when your targets’ friends are active. This is simply the most important way to
organically grow your audience, because without
followers you are missing opportunities to get information out to potential customers.
PersonalIze your Messages, In-season
and off
To build your followers, a great strategy is to personalize your company. Have a real person handle
all communications, not some faceless name or
canned responses. This is a way to engage your au-
52
dience by facilitating a two-way conversation and
allowing your customers to “join in” and feel part
of the experience.
What will organically happen is that you will
start to enjoy “brand evangelists:” actual customers who will talk about your brand amongst their
friends, build interest in your brand across social
media channels and will vocally support your efforts. These people are gold, and a personalized
representative of your brand should treat them
as such. It seems like such a small thing, but the
long-term benefits are huge.
So, once you have started building your followers and have earned some brand evangelists, it’s
time to focus on what content will be the most
effective for you. First and foremost … write this
down … keep your content relevant, timely and
refreshed! There’s nothing worse for a consumer
who goes to a brand’s social media site only to find
that it hasn’t been updated in nine months. If you
are going to embrace social media marketing, you
MUST be consistent and timely. No exceptions.
organIze your Posts & Plan
At Big Surf Waterpark, for example, we’ve found
that keeping a social media calendar is very effective in organizing our efforts. The calendar not
only allows us to have an idea of what content to
post on any given day, but also allows our fans to
know what to look for. Such as our Tuesday Trivia,
which seems to be one of our most popular social
media days that generates the most traffic.
Tuesday Trivia allows us to share information
about our park, and it also allows our fans to participate in hopes of
winning general
admission passes
to our park. This
is the whole twoway conversation

been successful for Big
Surf is our Caption Contest where we post a photo
that was taken by our photographer at the park and
ask our fans to help us come up with a clever caption. This type of post always creates a great platform for engagement with your fans with their input, and it also gets fans to post their own pictures,
which will gain organic exposure to their networks.

Vital roles For 21st Century leaders
21st century leaders
are often called
upon to be coaches,
dreamers and
servants.
20
good leaders have always worn many
hats. But in the 21st century, leaders confront an astonishing variety of challenges,
ranging from complex technology
to unprecedented demands for
service. In short, 21st century leaders wear more
hats than ever before.
Here’s a quick look at a few
of those hats …
• coAch. The 21st century leader
guides employees by coaching, not highly
directive supervision. Through her own motivational skills, she will help her people build spirit
and self-motivation in the same manner as athletic coaches build and empower their teams. For
example: The leader/coach will frequently work
alongside her people. Rather than offering instructions, she will offer examples from her own
experience, as well as guidance and suggestions.
• chAtterBox. The wise leader of this century
understands the critical importance of communication. He’s quick to share business information
with employees and colleagues, and even quicker
to encourage his people to share information and
views openly and candidly among themselves. For
example: Many leaders encourage their people to
cross-train each other, in the hope that individual
employees learn about many facets of the business.
• cheerleAder. In a century marked by high
individuality, the effective leader praises and encourages his people—and roots for them with
incredible enthusiasm. For example: This leader
stages informal parties to celebrate the success
of his people. And he’s quick to recognize their
accomplishments in the trade media and among
their colleagues.
• dAredevIl. The 21st century is full of opportunity and peril. The successful leader knows how
to take intelligent risks in order to capture new
markets or grow his business.
• dervIsh. The 21st century leader is a highenergy performer who can move quickly from
one task to another, pay attention to many people
and ideas at a time and manage multiple priorities—and enjoy it. And he has the ability to move
others along at a fast clip. For example: The 21st
century leader has “micromanagement” time
skills and accommodates dozens of brief meetings and calls in one ambitious “cleanup” hour
each day.
• dreAmer. The 21st century leader possesses a
keen sense of vision. She imagines how her business will look in five or ten years, and she is able
to visualize a wide range of creative possibilities.
World Waterpark Magazine february 2014
For example: The 21st century leader frequently
stages “visioning” meetings to discuss seemingly impossible goals and explore how they can
be reached.
• Fuss-Budget. The 21st century leader is attuned to details. He understands the workings of
good quality assurance programs and is relentless
in his pursuit of sound business practices. For
example: The 21st century leader doesn’t hesitate
to talk to customers in order to obtain first-hand
feedback.
• Inventor. The 21st century leader trains her
mind to be nimble. She is constantly on the lookout for new profit-building ideas. She is especially
attentive to the creative workings of technology.
• Know-It-All. Knowledge is one of the 21st century leader’s greatest assets. This century’s leader
understands how to turn raw business data into
clear conclusions, keeps abreast of industry trends
and develops sound intuition about the state of
her business. For example: Many 21st century
leaders, in businesses of every size, are proficient
in the use of “report writers”—technology tools
that use simple programming statements to analyze accounting, sales and customer data.
• scAvenger. In the 21st century, leaders find
resources in unexpected places—through technology, through ancillary product lines, through
innovative cost-saving measures. For example:
The 21st century leader delivers routine information to customers via e-mail or social media,
eliminating the cost of routine mailings.
• servAnt. Servant leadership has become the
hallmark of many 21st century organizations.
The servant leader constantly seeks new ways to
help her people learn new skills … and help them
achieve their objectives. For example: The 21st
century leader asks her employees to appraise her
own guidance and coaching skills, just as she appraises employee performance.
• socIAl ButterFly. The 21st century belongs
to those who share novel ideas and network with
those who have become successful. And the wise
leader constantly looks for ways to build a sense of
community among her own people. For example:
In addition to traditional conferences and conventions, the 21st century leader seeks out networking parties and social media forums and blogs
where key business ideas are discussed.
• tourIst. The wise leader of the new century
travels to conferences … to networking opportunities … anyplace where he can learn about the
brightest new ideas in his industry. For example:
The 21st century leader schedules “study time”
once a year just as he schedules vacations. •

cnl expands Wet ‘n’ Wild
brand in u.s.
CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., Orlando, Fla., has rebranded its SplashTown waterpark in Houston as Wet
‘n’ Wild SplashTown. This is the second waterpark that CNL Lifestyle
Properties has rebranded since

As part of the rebranding and
a corresponding multimillion dollar investment,
CNL Lifestyle Properties is expanding and redeveloping the Houston property this off-season. The
new rides being added include “FlowRider,” a simulated surfing experience; “Big Kahuna,” a thrilling raft ride; and “Wet ‘n’ Wild Jr.,” a children’s area
with eight waterslides. A new parking lot, landscaping, updated dining facilities and other amenities will also be included in the transformation.

the fastest growing form of marketing
today. And while there are numerous technologies that seem to
change from day to day, there is
no questioning the fact that businesses need to understand and embrace social media marketing if they

parks and waterparks, whose customers are driven by the excitement of attractions. Social media marketing
a fantastic way to engage these consumers, and to empower them with a

« the Beginning of A stAr pArk «
Water Wizz of Cape Cod, Inc., was opened in 1982 with 4 serpentine slides and the newest thing on the market, 2 speed slides,
the first water attractions in New England. Being a family-run
business, growth was slower at Water Wizz than much of the rest
of the country, mostly due to financial constraints. In 1984, bumper boats and an 18-hole mini-golf course were added.
Seeing how successful Water Wizz was, they then developed
another mini-golf/bumper boat complex in Narragansett, Rhode
Island. The town was not amendable to waterslides; so, in 1991,
they added a go-kart track and bumper boats for a family amusement park. The Kells’ daughter Melissa and husband Josh Burdick
are park managers.
In 1986, a double tube ride was added at Water Wizz of Cape Cod
and the bumper boat pool was turned into a leisure river with a
wave maker. Keeping up with the industry was challenging, but Ray
and Patricia saw how much their guests loved all the rides and how
much fun families were having. 1988 saw the building of a Charles
Langford waterslide, which was used extensively in the 2010 movie
“Grown Ups,” with Adam Sandler. In 1991, they added a wave pool.
General Park Manager, daughter Rebecca, saw the families
coming in with picnic baskets and coolers and staying the day and
knew the park needed private space for families to gather. So, Rebecca came up with the idea of renting out cabanas for those families. Today, it’s best to make a reservation for one of the 70 cabanas
at least a week in advance.
In 2005, a WhiteWater West play structure was another addition, with son, Michael overseeing of the construction. Ray was
looking more into retiring and letting his children take over the
management of the business. Ray and Patricia hired their son-inlaw, Eric Brotemarkle, as Operations Manager.
Ray and Patricia were fortunate to have a staff that had been with
them since much of the beginning. Suzanne James and Annalise
Samuels, two sisters, have been with the park every summer since
they were 16 years old. Suzanne grew into the position of Assistant
General Manager. Annalise became Food Manager after having
worked in the food concessions areas. Jackie Pierce applied for an
attendant position at the recommendation of Suzanne and Annalise and within two years became Assistant Operations Manager.
Karl Sabourin worked as an attendant starting at 15 and never had
another summer job; he is now Staff Supervisor. However, in spite
of each of their titles, everyone truly covers each other’s back. If
staff is ever short due to call-in’s, one department sends trained
personnel from their department to cover for the department that
is short. It is truly a team effort. Everyone multi-tasks and knows
that they are part of the Water Wizz family.

hen Ray Kells sold his boat-building company, Kells Corporation, in 1979 he was
looking for another business. What he found
was a four-flume waterslide built into a manmade hill on Misquamicut Beach in Westerly,
Rhode Island. Guest could ride the slides for
$2.50 for 40 minutes. For $6.00 they could ride
all day, going back and forth from the slides to the
beach across the street. He loved the idea of working
in the summer and doing something else in the winter.
He also felt there was a need for a waterslide in nearby Cape Cod, a
huge tourist spot. Waterparks as we know them now did not exist
at this time. So, in 1980, he and his wife, Patricia, purchased just
enough land to build his slides in East Wareham, Massachusetts.

Middle
company. And while he may not always agree
with company policies, he can implement them
decisively and positively.
• The ideal manager is a door opener.
She’s constantly looking for ways to help her
employees develop their skills and careers. She
doesn’t hesitate to offer valuable information,
training and suggestions for growth.
• The ideal manager is even-Tempered.
• The ideal manager is posiTive.
Being a team builder
is one quality of an
ideal manager.
True, the ideal manager must grapple with
problems every single day. But he rarely gripes
or complains. Instead, he looks at problems as
opportunities, and presses ever onward for innovative solutions.
People are always # 1 in her book. She never
lets a day go by without complimenting an
employee on a job well done. And she’s always
looking for new ways to recognize the efforts
and achievements of her people.
• The ideal manager delegaTes auThoriTy.
He’s not afraid to let others make decisions—and
let others shine when decisions turn out well.
And the ideal manager is not afraid to delegate
responsibility along with authority, as well. He
shows confidence in his people, who are free to
pursue the tasks at hand in their own ways.
• The ideal manager is an advocaTe.
She understands the legitimate needs of her
people—and constantly looks for ways to meet
those needs within the limits of the facility’s resources. And when her people are in trouble,
she stands behind them with encouragement
and guidance.
• The ideal manager undersTands The
value of money. The ideal manager is nei-
ther spendthrift nor frugal. Rather, he constantly looks for ways to get the biggest bang
for the buck. He’s the kind of manager who
looks for ways to achieve dramatic results with
minimal outlays of money.
• The ideal manager focuses on resulTs.
The ideal manager knows that it’s easy to become enamored with the internal workings of
her department. But she avoids becoming tangled up in details and keeps her eye squarely
on the results. She knows that she’s paid not
for what she can do, but for what she can accomplish.
24
While his feelings sometimes show, he’s not
given to extremes of temper. People around
the ideal manager come to depend on his calm
and deliberative approach to problems and opportunities.
The
ideal manager may not always like risk, but she
knows that it’s necessary if company growth is
to take place. So she’s willing to take bold steps
on occasion—and she’s willing to accept responsibility for the outcome of her decisions.
The ideal manager shares praise. When
things go well, the ideal manager is quick to
share the praise. And when things go wrong,
he’s willing to accept the blame without passing
the buck.
• The ideal manager is courageous.
• The ideal manager affirms oThers.
The ideal
manager
seeks to be
a leader in
the finest
sense of
the word.

• The ideal manager looks Toward The
fuTure. He gears himself and his department
toward long-term results—three, five, even ten
years out. He shares in the company’s vision.
And he never regrets failures; rather, he uses
them as lessons in his long-term quest toward
excellence.
• The ideal manager is a Team builder.
Like a coach, the ideal manager is able to foster
group loyalty and mold her people into an authentic, spirit-filled team.
• The ideal manager is a person of inTegriTy. He’s recognized as a person of great
honesty and character. When he promises to
do something, those around him—employees,
superiors, peers—know it will be done.
• The ideal manager sTrives Toward
leadership. The ideal manager seeks to be a
leader in the finest sense of the word. She realizes that, alone, she can do nothing and she truly appreciates the gifts and talents of the people
around him. She’s able to marshal her skills,
temperament and experience to motivate—and
even inspire—those people. •

top-notch Managers are a rare
breed. In fact, the search for the ideal
manager is often like traveling a long
road, paved with rocky mediocrity.
But the road may also be marked by
signposts and clues, all pointing in
the direction of superb, but quiet,
managerial talent.
Great managers usually exhibit
certain skills and attributes. So if
you’re looking for the ideal manager,
look first for these signs:
