It blows my mind that people completely dismiss the massive statistically verified levels of human urine that they are swimming in and having splashed around their mouths, open cuts, noses, ears, etc….
Can you provide some of those "statistically verified" numbers?
Chlorine and dilution. Do the math.
The wave pool
quote:
Overall, the pool holds about 2 million gallons (7.6 million L) of water, and the wave itself is 90,000 gallons (341,000 L)
One of the waterslides
quote:
It is 60 ft tall with 1000 Gallons of water coming down the slide at any given moment.
Here's some statistically verified numbers
quote:
An average commercial pool or large water park wave pool contains about 20 gallons of human urine. This is based on scientific research tracking artificial sweeteners (which pass through the body completely) to estimate the true volume of pee left behind by crowds of swimmers.While that sounds like a lot, a large wave pool holds hundreds of thousands to millions of gallons of water, meaning urine makes up less than 0.01% of the total volume.
quote:
According to a Water Quality and Health Council consensus (which you can check out for pool safety guidance), the average swimmer introduces anywhere from 1 to 3 ounces of pee into the water per session.
You get a higher exposure to urine every time you flush the toilet.

There's not enough chlorine on the planet to entice me into that cesspool of humanity.

Just stay away from the wave pool and you should be fine.

Not really. The old owner, Sam Haynes, is 80+ years old.
His son-in-law and operations guy, Paul Harris, has had health issues in the past few years.
Howard, his maintenance guru for the past 30+ years, passed away a few years ago.
Paul's son, Grant, made an attempt to reopen, but had staffing issues and was overwhelmed. Because they'd closed during Covid, there were no employees from previous years to train the new hires. .

I haven't been but from everything I've heard and seen, it looks to be some place I would take my daughters.

My kids went a week or so ago and they liked it. I think it’s in better shape than when it shut down a few years ago, but still has room for improvement.

Reminds me of the water park scene from Grownups. I wonder how blue Blue Bayou could get?

I drop off one of my kids to work there several times a week. From what I see of the line going in, it's 95% families and about 85% "non-ghetto".
That's if your definition of "ghetto" is based on trashy level.
If it's based on skin color, I'd say 75%."non-ghetto"
It'd really a decent crowd who's attending.
Is it the price that's keeping the trash away, better enforcement of rules, both, something else?

They've doubled down on the customer service level. It's almost to the point where they're kissing arse.

Are you the Confucius of parenting? You nailed it.
Took a 4 and 7 year old on a weekday this summer. Maybe their favorite ever trip.
