themeparkguy27 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 This past Sunday, I decided to take a little tour of the brand new waterpark resort that just opened up here in Gurnee, Illinois. Key Lime Cove is located directly across the street from Six Flags Great America. (Being that I live in Gurnee, I can't see myself staying here all that often, but with the generous Gurnee resident discount, I'm sure I'll try it out soon.) For those planing on a road trip to Six Flags Great America, be sure to check it out. I am sure I'll be there quite often, in the arcade or at the bar and restaurants. Too bad they don't offer one day waterpark passes.[/img] Chloe posing on the colorful beach chair. The kids patiently waiting for the sugar high. Downstairs, near the entrance to the waterpark is a Huge arcade (didn't get any good pictures) and this Old Time styled Ice Cream Parlor and restaurant. Cleanest bathrooms...good to know. Great detail on all the indoor buildings. The Midway features shops and restaurants, nicely themed to a Caribbean Beach atmosphere. Check in toward the left Bar/restaurant that overlooks the indoor waterpark. Very Cool! The ever popular Toilet Bowl type slide. The indoor waterpark. Its not huge. YET. They expect to expand to over 100,000 square feet of indoor waterpark eventually. The Resort from the outside. This place actually has the look of a nicely themed Disney Resort. Kinda like a Caribbean Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I don't understand why most of these waterparks don't offer day passes especially if they only offer them on slower days like weekdays and only sell them in limited numbers so the park doesn't get to crowded. At least the one opening near me (Mt Laurel NJ), is going to offer day passes for $20. Looks like a cool themed park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ^Because they are not looking for "day trip" people. They are looking for people to stay at their hotel, and offering an exclusive indoor waterpark is definitely an advantage over other hotels in the area...

Airtime&Gravity Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow, that looks really nice, and given its location, it will be a huge hit. This was built fast, but they managed to fit a lot of attractions in to a pretty nice hotel. I'm don't like most indoor water parks, but this one seems to have turned out really nice.
