Well, this isn’t exactly breaking news, but I read the other day that a new waterpark may be coming to Panama City Beach.  WMBB broke the story day before yesterday.

At the intersection of Clara and Front Beach Road, a new waterpark is being planned.  The owners, Sterling, purchased the property in 2005.

The original article can be found here.

I was talking to a friend over lunch yesterday who had heard some “back-door” meetings and said that it will be more of an water-attraction, rather than a water-park.  It is unclear at this point whether this new attraction will be real competition to the Shipwreck Island Waterpark just a half mile away.

Although I love Shipwreck Island, it will be very nice to see another attraction come into the area, this is sorely needed to supliment what we have.  Nothing breeds advancement like alittle competition.
