An opening date of November 2017 has been set for the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark, a new recreational facility in Grand Prairie at State Highway 161 and the Waterwood Drive.
The water park will be an indoor-outdoor venue with a retractable roof that's open year round. For water park fans, that's a cut above its obvious competition a few miles away, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, which is open seasonally only.
It's part of The Epic recreation center, which will feature fitness equipment, indoor tracks, a digital library, and recording studio. The complex will also have a 5,000-seat amphitheater, and more than two miles of trails.
The park will have nine water slides, including an outdoor wave pool, a lazy river, an activity pool, a children's area, and an arcade. There will be cabanas, a full-service grill/bar, and private party/meeting areas, both indoor and outdoor.
Three of the slides have standout features. The Lasso Loop will be the tallest indoor aqualoop in the nation. The Yellowjacket Drop is an enclosed slide you ride with an inner tube; you come out onto an open drop that sends you high up onto a wall, creating a sense of zero gravity. The Aquanaut is the first double-rider ride, letting you ride with a friend.
The water park is running a giveaway for annual passes to the park; deadline to enter is July 1.

It's exciting to hear about the new Dallas-Fort Worth water park that's set to open! Water parks are a great way to beat the summer heat and have some fun with friends and family. I'm sure that the new park will be a huge hit with visitors, especially with all the thrilling rides and attractions that it's set to offer.

Water parks are not only a source of entertainment but can also help promote physical activity and encourage people to spend more time outdoors. With the increasing concern about sedentary lifestyles and the importance of staying active, having a water park like this in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is a great way to provide people with a fun and healthy activity option.

It's also worth noting that the water park industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, with new parks popping up all over the world. This shows that water parks are becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages and backgrounds.

Overall, I'm excited to see the new Dallas-Fort Worth water park open its doors and provide a fun and engaging experience for locals and visitors alike. It's sure to be a great addition to the area and I can't wait to hear more about it once it's up and running.

Dear Author,

I wanted to express my gratitude for your informative article about the upcoming Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Dallas-Fort Worth. Your detailed description of the water park's features and amenities, as well as its anticipated opening in November 2017, got me eagerly looking forward to experiencing this new recreational facility.

The concept of an indoor-outdoor water park with a retractable roof is fascinating, providing visitors with a year-round water adventure unlike the seasonal options nearby. The inclusion of various attractions like water slides, wave pool, lazy river, and children's area, along with standout slides like the Lasso Loop and Yellowjacket Drop, adds to the excitement and anticipation.

Furthermore, your mention of the overall Epic recreation center and its diverse offerings, including fitness facilities, a digital library, and an amphitheater, provides a holistic view of what visitors can expect from this development.

Thank you for sharing this exciting news, and I eagerly await the park's opening in November.

Best regards,
