Waterpark complex proposed for Chesterfield, US
A $160m (€124m, £97.6m) waterpark and entertainment complex has been proposed for Chesterfield, US.
Masterminded by local entrepreneur, Steve Uphoff, the complex will feature a 400-bedroom hotel, as well as an indoor and outdoor waterpark, zip lines, outdoor laser tag, mini golf and climbing walls.
Uphoff, who has undertaken other leisure ventures such as Uptown Alley (bowling) and owns a range of convenience stores, has partnered with China’s Jinma Group as investors for the project.
Construction is hoped to start in 2015 with the intention of opening the site in 2016. Uphoff plans to build the complex on 26 acres of land next to an Uptown Alley that he already owns.
Although it is early on in the development stage to be announcing the plans, Uphoff has assured officials that feasibility studies have taken place and the project is viable.
Jinma Group and Uphoff have further plans in both the US and China to build other leisure complexes, such as bowling alleys and waterparks, that combined, could cost a total of $3bn (€2.3bn, £1.8bn) and $4bn (€3.1bn, £2.4bn) respectively.
