  • @TheWildwoodPicker
    @TheWildwoodPicker Год назад +67

    I think water slides should install elevators to bring you to the top so older people can enjoy them without having to climb 5 flights or more of steps. Those steps will wear you the heck out. I also think that place will get old really fast. It's big, but it's not really that big. The newness will wear off very quickly.

    Thanks for sharing this grand opening. It will be nice to see your return video featuring the slides. I used to go here when it was a casino and it looks like they did a nice job reusing the old casino space. The new water park should help Atlantic City become more of a year round family destination. Since the death of the old Steel Pier they have needed a major family attraction. With most of these attractions indoors it is a way to provide year round entertainment for families not interested in casino gambling. I hope it is successful and helps expand Atlantic City’s appeal to tourists.

    I love the Showboat. Would return so much fun. Nice clean new rooms, lots to do for families. Very safe. Im a professional. Any bad reviews are coming from competing resorts. Once a resort is on the boardwalk they have to meet certain upscale standards and safety. The Boardwalk is protected. Showboat is right on the beach you just walk out. 9:22

    I worked at an indoor waterpark as an aquatic supervisor and lifeguard. Water slides produce a large amount of injuries and for some reason parents tend to think we are babysitters, but we cant really focus anywhere else but on the water. I hate the idea of alcohol and water slides together. This place looks like fun...for Adults.

Then we will have parents not watching their children because they are in the adult section drinking. Hopefully not to much if they will be driving. I will keep taking my grandchildren to Great Wolf Lodge it is more kid friendly. Much cheaper and it is a vacation!!

  • @mikeh7220
    @mikeh7220 Год назад +16

    The waterpark is nice. However, the Showboat is extremely ghetto. Rooms are outdated and people smoke and use drugs in the building. According to the property, this type of stuff is not allowed in the building. However, security doesn’t do anything about it. In fact, security at the Showboat is abysmal. The police are there multiple times every day and the parking garage is very dangerous. I know people who have had their vehicles stolen and cars broken into. I also know people who have been robbed in that garage as well. It is by far the dirtiest and seediest hotel on the boardwalk.
