"...Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark is an incredible, year-round 80,000 square-foot, indoor waterpark with a retractable roof," the release reads.

The park boasts 11 waterslides, an outdoor wave pool, a surf simulator and a 4,000 square-foot arcade.

Three rides that stand out at the park include the Lassoloop, billed as America's tallest water slide with a loop. The Yellowjacket Drop is described as an "enclosed slide that inner tubers will serpentine thru to an open drop that will send you high up onto a wall, giving the rider a sense of zero gravity." The water park calls its Aquanaut ride "an inner tube slide that takes its riders to the next level inside high banking domes within the slide."
