I hope that’s not the direction they go.  The water park is already large for what the park is.  Really all they are missing is a water coaster since Deluge left. Something I just now thought about as possible (speaking in fantasy of course), is the removal of Mt. Slide Hai.  It’s very old and removing that wouldn’t create any new gaps that haven’t already been filled by Plummet Summit and Wikiwiki Wai slide complexes.  Doing this (along with castaway creek) would also allow them to make a large continuous block from discovery meadow all the way back to where T3/Rapids were. I really don’t know what else they could add to all that land for the waterpark that it doesn’t already have, and they definitely aren’t going to out “water coaster” Holiday World, so not sure what the payoff would be.  I guess it depends if they want to push this into a Dollywood style park or just remain a local family attraction.  Time will tell! Exciting times!

I'm wanting the wave pool to be moved, not for the waterpark to be expanded. The current one would be demolished to make way for more dry rides. If they have the money I think it'd be a worthwhile investment. That'd make it so there's not a hole in the park whenever the waterpark is closed.

I think it would be less expensive to move the coaster and mini wind seeker than to demolish and rebuild a large wave pool with the ancillary food, retail and infrastructure involved.  I understand your rationale, however. 

There is a new sign in front of the former 5D cinema area

I am really thinking about taking the kids to this park. The Bat at Kings Island has peaked my 5 year old interest this season but he cant just quite get there yet.  Im thinking the new coaster at Kentucky Kingdom might get him over that edge.
