jumbach Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Per my sources, Hawaii is the only state in the USA with no amusement park of any sort--no water park, no Six Flags, no itty bitty park, no nothing. (Even Alaska has an indoor water park, outside Anchorage.) Does anybody know of any plans to correct this oversight?
Canobie Fan Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I wouldnt say only... What about Vermont, Rhode Island, Montana, North and South Dakota....
CoasterBill04 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Correction. There is a water park in Hawaii. It's called Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. It's located on the island of Oahu. Here's the website: http://www.hawaiianwaters.com

Here's the website: http://www.hawaiianwaters.com Ah, well thanks for letting me know. I stand corrected. There IS an amusement park of some sort in HI, in this case, a water park.
Gnome Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I can't see why you would want a theme park on a tropcial island. I think the reason why most people go to hawii is for its beaches, volcanos, and other wild life, not for theme parks.
coaster05 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Having been to Hawaii once they could support one. If you are not into sitting around or shopping, it does start to wear on you. A smaller park would probably make huge money.
DragonKhan Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 It wouldn't fit. Like said before, most people go there for other reasons. and having been to Hawaii myself I can also say there is a lot to do there that it shouldn't get boring. Hell, you can even go downhill skiing!
XII Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I'm staying on the wrong Island so I can't go there when I go to Hawaii this Thanksgiving. Looks like a nice choice of water slides! Kevin"Oh well "Bujold
coasterdude5 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I think Sea World would be the one that could really pull it off.
phazan Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 land probably cost so much in HI. theres one reason. also, notice that the landscape isnt vey flat.
ebl Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I think there's still an ocean life park on Oahu. Sea Life Park or something like that. Try Googling it. A theme park in Hawaii? LOL at the thought of that. Eric
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I think Hawaii is the only state with a giant pineapple maze though. Guy "I love me tha Red Dirt." Koepp
Joe Cool Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Awww Hawaii good memories. There is alot to do in Hawaii people definatly dont get bored. Some go surfing everyday and seems like they dont get bored.
rollercoasterdan Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I think Hawaii is the only state with a giant pineapple maze though. Guy "I love me tha Red Dirt." Koepp That pineapple maze is huge, takes forever to get all your stamps (it doesnt run like a normal mazy, you start out in the center, and you have to find these stations where you trace a figure onto a piece of paper, then you have to find the next and then the next) I think I was in it for a good 40 minutes. I think there is an Ocean Park on Oahu. think we drove by it while I was there.
rollermonkey Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Er, Florida is considered by some to be pretty tropical, y'know palm trees, beaches, mangrove swamps, etc. Disney seems to be doing pretty well there... With all the Japanese tourism in Hawaii, I think the problem would be detracting from turnstile counts at CA and FL. However, someone building a small to medium sized family oriented park (al a Legoland or Cypress Gradens) would probably make a killing. Has there ever been an amusement park there and it failed, or has no one ever thought it was a good investment considering that there are alternatives?
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 They had a real small one on Guam. Oohh, there's two coaster credits that I have that I'll bet Robb Dosn't. Cause the park closed after less than two years of opperation. I think the rotting remains are still there. Guy "I said Rotting Remains." Koepp
Canobie Fan Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Would it be this sexy coaster? - http://photo.guam.net/photo-lib/image/1/large/eowphyaabvmmhchvtwgy-1895.jpg
KrazyT Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I believe that south florida is also lacking theme parks....

Cause the park closed after less than two years of opperation. I think the rotting remains are still there. Guy "I said Rotting Remains." Koepp I've been on the powered that's in Guam now, and I did hear about the old park, but no one could remember when it closed, where it was, etc.
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I was in second grade there. That would've made me 7 years old. That's 32.5 years ago. If memory serves, it was a corkscrew. Guy "I smoked alot of pot in 2nd grade, so my recollection is fuzzy." Koepp
rollermonkey Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Wow, from the descriptions I heard, I would have thought Pinfari or Galaxi. That photo up there ^ doesn't help, but it sure doesn't look like anything we mentioned...
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah, that photo did nothing for me. But again, it was a real long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Guy "Random Star Wars quote." Koepp
SonOfBeastSucks Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I believe that south florida is also lacking theme parks.... Boomers is in South Florida and has a wooden coaster.
coaster05 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 A disney resort there would just spew money. IMO
