Castaway Bay aims for 'tropical' look

Castaway Bay wants to celebrate its one year anniversary in November by looking less like a Radisson hotel.

Cedar Point's indoor waterpark will get $2 million in touchups this fall, partially because of guest comments.

Although Castaway Bay is a year-round operation, the fall is the least busy time, he said.

How would they know that? The park opened last November.

Do you think this could mean no ride this year for CP?

Probably........


August 12th, 2005- Eminem and Lil Jon concert at Comerica Park.....I was right at the stage! 50 Cent sprayed water on me, Eminem was an inch away from touching me, and when the concert was over I walked outside and met Lil Jon's Eastside Boyz!

$2 million in renovations to one of their resorts is a drop in the bucket. It should have no effect on if the park recieves a new attraction or not.

Gravy-ty,

Luke and I stopped by Castaway Bay to SEE YOU, and we even went into the little children's play room. . .yet you were not there. That was. . .Thursday afternoon (perhaps during your PKI trip?).

ANYWAY. . .I am glad the rooms are getting attention. They certainly deserve it! When we stayed there. . .we laughed at the furniture. It made us laugh.

Long overdue. They should've done it up front with the launch of the water park. That property had been a dump for a long time. They can get away with mediocrity on-point, but with the other indoor water parks, it has to be better.

Perhaps I'll check it out this winter!

This is a smart move. You can't have a tropical themed waterpark and have the people stay in a standard hotel room. I'm also looking into a visit to this place.
