Monolithic Indoor Waterparks
November 18, 2003

The image of children running around in their bathing suits during the winter months in Minnesota, Maine or Canada, seems an unlikely sight. Also, for many, the heat of the Arizona sun is much too intense for adults and children to stand in long lines for a short water ride only to get minimal relief from the heat. However, waterpark fun can be enjoyed year round if designed inside a Monolithic Dome.
What makes Monolithic Domes ideal for waterparks?
Clear Span - The dome's clear span interior allows for a vast array of indoor water slides, pools and rides to be built without worry of columns or interior support obstructions. Rides or slides can also be suspended from the dome shell with ease. As rides age and become outdated, they can easily be changed inside a Monolithic Dome.
Protection from the Elements - Protection from inclement weather and lightning is the major advantage for building an indoor park. Guests need not worry about rain-outs, refunds, or making new plans. In fact, with the wind-resistance inherent to the Monolithic Dome, guests can continue enjoying their fun even if tornadoes or severe storms are whirling around outside. A Monolithic Dome is the safest place for everyone during severe weather.
Thermal Mass - Due to the thermal mass and energy efficiency of the Monolithic Dome, cooling costs and heating costs are substantially lower which means lower operating costs which equates to increased profits for park owners.
Extended Season - An indoor Monolithic Dome waterpark allows for park owners to enjoy year round income from the extended season offered to visitors and guests.
Unlimited Design Options - Monolithic Domes can be built to suit any size project and can be as elaborate as desired. If the park owner wants to start with one dome and expand later, it is easy to add multiple domes later. The interior of the Monolithic Dome can be painted to suit any type of environment. For example the shell could be painted as a sky, a tropical setting, a beach scene, a nautical theme or whatever the imagination can create. There are no limits.
Protection from the sun - In summer months when the heat is too intense to enjoy the outdoors, water fun inside the dome provides needed protection from sun exposure and heat-related illnesses.
Building Materials - What better to build a waterpark from the same concrete made to build swimming pools. Concrete is able to withstand the humidity as opposed to a facility made of steel and wood.
