Kalahari Resorts and Conventions is set to open what is being dubbed as ‘America’s Largest Indoor Waterpark’ in Round Rock, Texas on 12 November, 2020.
Construction is on schedule for a 12 November opening, as crews at the resort and convention centre install elevators, restaurant equipment and finishes, such as carpeting and finish paint.
The 350-acre resort complex will have 223,000 square feet of waterpark, consisting of 20 pools and whirlpools and 30 waterslides. Other attractions will include FlowRider, a rock-climbing wall, a 23-foot LED projection TV screen, an adult grotto swim-up bar, cabanas and waterfalls.
To celebrate the announcement of the grand opening date, “Kalahari on Safari” embarked on a journey through Texas, bringing a caravan of 22 life-size stone animal sculptures, each weighing up to 10,000 pounds and measuring up to 10-feet high to their new home in Round Rock, Texas.
The one-of-a-kind animal sculptures, including 12 elephants, seven zebras, a mother and baby rhinoceros and a cape buffalo, made the 600-mile trek on four open-air flatbed trailers from Eureka Springs, Ark., through Dallas and Auston on their way to Round Rock.
The migration concluded this weekend as the 22 stone sculptures were placed in their new home outside of the grand entrance to Kalahari Resorts and Conventions where they will welcome guests visiting this fall.
