Boasting more than 100,000 square feet of indoor space alone covered by a convertible roof of 1,800 glass panels, OWA Parks & Resort has announced the opening date for the newest addition to Tropic Falls, its highly anticipated indoor waterpark.
Opening in two phases, the region’s largest indoor waterpark is slated to open its first expansion (Phase One) on June 27, 2022. Phase One will include six thrill slides, a lazy river, an indoor dining location, party rental rooms, an indoor arcade, and a children’s play structure with five slides. Phase Two will open later this summer and includes a 30,000-square-foot outdoor wave pool, surf simulator, and additional dining and beverage locations.
The results are in! With more than 200 total name submissions, the Tropic Falls toucan mascot has officially been introduced as Tuki the Toucan. “We were so impressed with the creative name suggestions we received for our toucan friend,” said Kristin Hellmich, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for OWA Parks and Resort. “It was difficult to narrow down the choices, but ultimately one name stood out from the rest.” Tuki made his debut appearance at the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival near the Tropic Falls entrance.
