First Tour - Showboat's Island Waterpark in Atlantic City
Atlantic City, known for its bustling casinos and vibrant nightlife, is now set to welcome a new family-friendly attraction that promises to revolutionize the entertainment scene in the renowned resort town.
Showboat's owner, Bart Blatstein, has made it his mission to transform the perception of Atlantic City by introducing captivating experiences that cater to all ages.
With the grand opening of Showboat's Island Waterpark scheduled for Friday, June 30th, a glimpse into this transformative project was unveiled during an exclusive preview party held on Thursday, June 22nd.

Thanks for sharing this grand opening. It will be nice to see your return video featuring the slides. I used to go here when it was a casino and it looks like they did a nice job reusing the old casino space. The new water park should help Atlantic City become more of a year round family destination. Since the death of the old Steel Pier they have needed a major family attraction. With most of these attractions indoors it is a way to provide year round entertainment for families not interested in casino gambling. I hope it is successful and helps expand Atlantic City’s appeal to tourists.

I think water slides should install elevators to bring you to the top so older people can enjoy them without having to climb 5 flights or more of steps. Those steps will wear you the heck out. I also think that place will get old really fast. It's big, but it's not really that big. The newness will wear off very quickly.
@alldaysass4092 Жыл бұрын
Great idea but u cannot run an elevator in an area wheres theres tons of water around its a hazard
@lisathomas1622 Жыл бұрын
I’m nearly 60 and I’m thinking if I can’t walk up the stairs maybe I don’t belong on the wild slide. You need to have a decent range of motion and stamina to ride these.

The glass roof is designed to retain heat from sunlight and the entire place will be kept very warm year round with HVAC. There's a lot of indoor water parks around the world, they've definitely got patrons in all seasons.

The waterpark is nice. However, the Showboat is extremely ghetto. Rooms are outdated and people smoke and use drugs in the building. According to the property, this type of stuff is not allowed in the building. However, security doesn’t do anything about it. In fact, security at the Showboat is abysmal. The police are there multiple times every day and the parking garage is very dangerous. I know people who have had their vehicles stolen and cars broken into. I also know people who have been robbed in that garage as well. It is by far the dirtiest and seediest hotel on the boardwalk.

I worked at an indoor waterpark as an aquatic supervisor and lifeguard. Water slides produce a large amount of injuries and for some reason parents tend to think we are babysitters, but we cant really focus anywhere else but on the water. I hate the idea of alcohol and water slides together. This place looks like fun...for Adults.
