Sphere: Related ContentMarcus Hotels and Resorts Corp. of Milwaukee said Wednesday that it has been selected to manage the 7th Wave Resort, a $150 million indoor water park project in Rhode Island.
The Hawaiian-themed resort, which will feature 409 rooms, a 75,000 square foot indoor water park, 53,000 square feet of outdoor space and 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, is being developed by Dial Family Resorts, an Omaha, Neb., developer of indoor water park family resorts. The firm is also developing an indoor water park resort in Sandusky, Ohio.
Construction of the resort in West Warwick, R.I., just south of Providence, R.I., is scheduled to begin in August 2008, with its opening slated for the first quarter of 2010.

Okay, so all those people I see standing in line at the DMV or Costco, will now be in bathing suits? If this company has done its market research on Rhode Islanders, they’ll put a food court half-way down The Flume.

We’ve been talking about this forever on UrbanPlanet silly.
This was first proposed at the same time as the casino, and most were sure that when the casino failed, this would quietly go away, but it seems to have legs.
As for bathing suits at the DMV and Costco, unlikely. The park will not be open to the public, you’ll have to get a room if you want to partake as last I heard, the park is only open to guests of the resort.
