Splash Kingdom Waterparks reveals plans for new Christian waterpark in Texas, US
The owner of Christian-orientated Splash Kingdom Family Waterparks has announced that he will be opening another attraction, this time in the county of Brazoria, Texas, US.
The company's parks are operated with the intention of “glorifying god”, according to Splash Kingdom’s owner Johnny Blevins, with a new faith-based facility expected to open in 2015 if it makes it past a county ballot later this year.
Splash Kingdom operates waterparks in the US locations of Canton and Hudson Oaks, Texas, as well as Shreveport, Louisiana; with the company’s owner also belonging to the Faith-Based Amusement Association.
Given their Christian grounding, Splash Kingdom’s parks operate on a conservative set of rules, with particular types of women’s underwear and swimwear, denim and alcohol banned from their premises.
Guests may also be asked to cover up if their swimwear or tattoos are deemed to be offensive.
Attractions based around religious principles are growing in numbers across the world, particularly in the United States, where a Christian group is also seeking to push ahead with the creation of an Old Testament theme park.
