Darien Lake Resort in Western New York, US, has announced plans for a multi-million dollar expansion.

For the 2010 season, the resort will transform into two parks – the Darien Lake Theme Park and SplashTown at Darien Lake.

The former will open on 8 May, while the latter, which will boast several new attractions over five acres of new park space, is scheduled to open on Memorial Day Weekend (31 May).

Specific additions to SplashTown include the Swirl City Slide Complex, with four rides built by ProSlide (Mister Twister, Cannon Ball Run and the Turbo Twins); a 1,024ft lazy river (built by the Aquatic Development Group) and the Lazy Days Lagoon, a 44,500-gallon wave pool (also built by Aquatic Development).

The resort is adding 10 Forts-O-Fun backwoods-themed rooms inside the Lodge on the Lake hotel, which will provide kids with their own space to sleep and play and will feature bunk-beds, play space, a television and a Playstation 3.

Darien Lake’s camping area is also expanding, with more than 20 Brown Bear Cabins, which include a fireplace, a loft, bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area, wireless internet and cable television.
