I mean maybe? But it's a budget friendly theme park resort in Orlando, there are always going to be kids there no matter what. Yeah I'm with you, when my kids were younger we looked for anything that had something, splash pad, slide, playground. Now it's not as big of a "requirement" but it's still nice. And again it's Orlando, there are so many resorts and just regular hotels with so many amazing amenities that to see something this bare bones on a brand new property for a brand new theme park is kind of surprising. If I remember correctly the concept art for the new "deluxe" level Grand Helios even didn't have any kind of additional water features, just a big ole regular pool. My best guess is that it's probably a staffing/cost issue, higher insurance, have to pay a life guard to be on duty and all of that. Or they simply want you in the parks and the waterparks and not hanging out at the resort pool, but regardless it's a little disappointing. It seems like the trend for the last decade was to build really cool amenities to be included at these resorts (Gaylord Palms, Omni Champions Gate's wave pool and lazy river, new slide complex at Word Center Marriot), but these new Universals/Lowes properties have none of that. -
tho it's cutting off a large section of CrackAxle at the lower left. . so the pic is missing Iron Rattler, Daredevil Dive, the Train, and Gully Washer. -
^ It's also a great view, of where everything is! 🎢 (roughly) -

Maybe they want to draw more of an adult crowd without making it adults only. On past vacations, we would specifically look for places without splash pads or other amenities for kids. Now, apparently we have to stay in more expensive places that offer things like splash pads and more play friendly pool areas, because apparently it's worth it despite only having a partial day at the pool during our stay. This was a point of contention this past week when we were planning our few days in Orlando. A place with a splash pad would have won out over this place any day. Five years ago, it would have been the reverse. -
yay, Texas gets to participate in this thread! I mean. .it's as much "snow" as we're gonna see. Six Flags Fiesta Texas posted this to their socials:

Boss is still dog$h!t. I'm 6ft tall, 177 lbs, 39 years old and exercise daily. Got off that thing last summer for the first time riding it since my college years and wasn't right for a few days and after 2 chiro appointments. I'd be close to say it's dangerous on most demographics.....I certainly won't go on it again until something is done to it. I remember loving it when it first debuted and rode it tons as I grew up 8 mins from the park. I'm not sure how it deteriorated so much over the years. But, I think we all know we've beat this dead horse into the afterlife for years and nothing has happened..... -

I think it looks pretty cool but I'll never understand building a brand new resort pool area without a slide/splash pad/playground of some kind. I mean there is a Holiday Inn Expresses like a mile down the road with a better looking pool than this. Just seems like such a simple thing to include that adds so much to the resort experience but instead it's just a big ole regular pool. -
I'm not a big fan of the pics. Sort of looks retro. Sort of looks already worn out. The windows in the rooms are goofy looking. Cheaper looking overall than I would have expected. I bet it's just fine and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here for the right price, but not a big fan of what I've seen. -

There was a new marketing promotion for the Mardi Gras event and when they show the parade, you see a photo of Charlie Brown in one of the carts. I didn’t expected them to go quick on IPs integration, but could we see Peanuts get introduced at Fiesta? -
Drayton Manor was an interesting park. From the skyride, that took you "there and back", to the well hidden Haunted Swing attraction (UFO theming, back then). But there was that (then) stand up coaster. Ugh. Very hurtful to tender parts of the male body. Great TR of what you experienced there, Bert. Not bad for only five hours' visit. And .... Yeah, I liked him. too! TPR 2006 UK Tour.
