Theme park proposed for Kamloops
A CAN$200m (£111m, 126m euro) theme park resort is set to be built in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
The 17-acre Sedric's Adventure Resort & Theme Park will feature rides designed by WhiteWater West, a 300-bedroom Marquee Hotel featuring a 25,000sq ft (2,320sq m) indoor water park designed by Canadian architect Nick Milkovich, and 1,000-capacity convention centre.
The 'wallet-free' resort, where guests will wear an electronic wristband to purchase items and access lockers and hotel rooms, will centre on a 150-foot Liquid Fireworks Fountain designed by Waltzing Waters of Florida, US.
Additional facilities will include a small hotel and restaurant aimed at the family market, two drive-through restaurants and 12,000sq ft (1,115sq m) of retail and office space.
With a daily capacity of 8,500 guests and projected visitor figures of 455,000 visits per year, the facility is expected to bring in CAN$80m (£44.6m, 50.4m euro) annually to the local economy and employ up to 1,500 workers in the high season.
Construction will take five years over five phases.
