Columbus coasternut Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I was reading the columbus dispatch this morning and came across the buisness section. In big bold letters It stated East Side Water Park Planned.A company by the name of Platinum Ridge Properties is planning on building a new resort called Fort Rapids Indoor Water Resort.It would cover 9 acres on the grounds of the Holiday Inn Columbus East located south of I 70 on Hamilton Rd. With 40,300 square feet for water rides making it bigger than Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky.With Great Wolf Lodge proposing a deal with Pki and now this one here in columbus how many of theese parks are too much.

BoddaH1994 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I say 4. You need to spread them out because it's too easy to saturate the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I had to dig that article out of the trash. Seems like a winner for Columbus. Odd location on the East side of Columbus though. You would think they would want to build something like this near Polaris or Easton Mall. The site is right off I-70 and has great signage. The area around it is a little rough though. Hopefully they keep the price tag down and make it more affordable than there competition. If they intend on building one next to PKI they need to step it up quick.
