Thrill-seekers, sunbathers, and night owls, prepare for a tsunami of fun! ISLAND Waterpark, the world's largest indoor beachfront waterpark, is set to make waves at The Showboat Resort in Atlantic City on June 30th, 2023. Featuring 11 exhilarating slides, a 1,000-square-foot surf simulator, and exclusive nightlife for adults, this $100 million development is about to transform the famed Atlantic City Boardwalk into a family-fun paradise.
Feeling the Heat "Atlantic City has long been one of the most iconic destinations for entertainment geared for adults," said Bart Blatstein, Tower Investments CEO and Showboat owner. "But now, the ISLAND Waterpark at The Showboat Resort will open up a whole new world of family entertainment on the boardwalk. When people see this, they will be blown away; it is truly like entering a tropical paradise, and the best part is that people–both kids and adults–will be able to enjoy it all year round."
Housed under a unique glass retractable roof, the ISLAND Waterpark offers 120,000 square feet of year-round sun-soaked fun. The roof allows for ample sunshine and fresh ocean breezes during warm months and can be closed during inclement and colder weather. This dynamic setting ensures the party never gets rained out and provides opportunities for stunning projection displays, such as stars or island imagery, enhancing the park's tropical ambiance.
Splashing into Adventure The waterpark's adrenaline-pumping features include three Tidal Racers mat racer slides for head-first excitement, the Electric Eel, Sonic Serpent, and Barracuda Blaster tube slides with their tight corners and banking turns. Smaller guests can safely splash and slide at Slide Island, which offers five waterslides suitable for younger visitors.
For a less intense but equally immersive experience, guests can drift leisurely on the 6,500 square-foot Island Drift Lazy River, play various water sports at the Adventure Pool, or enjoy interactive water activities at Kids Cove.
Wave of Nightlife Excitement ISLAND Waterpark isn't just about daytime fun. As the sun sets, the park becomes a first-of-its-kind nightlife venue exclusively for adults. A total of six bars serve craft beers, curated wines, and signature cocktails, while the 10,000-square-foot Paradise Adult Island provides DJ entertainment and the only swim-up bar in Atlantic City at the adults-only Bliss Pool.
Soaring to New Heights ISLAND Waterpark also boasts two attractions not available at any other indoor waterpark in the US: the more than 1,000-foot Coconut Zero-Gravity Coaster that takes guests on a ride suspended high above the waterpark and the 300-foot-long RipTide Zip Line. Both attractions offer spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and boardwalk, adding a unique aerial perspective to the waterpark experience.
