It is unclear whether this image is a rendering of the Water Park or if this will be part of Phase Two. The title is Valley of the Blue Waters. It seems to be a feature that is located near the Nicklaus Driving Range. Of course, all is subject to change, so who knows....

Theme parks seem to be the rage today. It's all about improving, expanding and engaging guests so they want to return for more.Disneyland and the various Disney parks are extremely popular. Our grandchildren and children continue to be wide-eyed when they first participate in one of these theme parks.
But, what is a waterpark? And, "It seems that the [Vidanta] water park will be the focus of phase one and it may just be the most elaborate water park ever built.", according to Josh Young, the author of "Vidanta Reveals New Artwork for Cirque du Soleil Park", which appeared on the Theme Park University website on July 16, 2016. The second of a two stage process will not be completed until 2021 or 2022, subject to management approval.

The Park is scheduled to open in December, 2018. Based on the video of the Volcano Bay water park, we can easily see the types of rides that may be included in the water park and why they are being manufactured off the property.
