The scenic Wisconsin Dells has undergone many changes in recent years, and now the same can be said for the Polynesian waterpark resort. The Polynesian became the Wisconsin Dells first themed upscale Wisconsin Dells resort offering guests a waterpark included with lodging which first opened its doors in 1989. Stan Anderson, co-owner with David Kaminski of the Polynesian states, “We never would have imagined that our original idea, which was the first of its kind in the region and in the United States, would have resulted in the Wisconsin Dells becoming the waterpark capital of the world.”
Each unit’s interior will undergo a complete makeover from floor to ceiling. The complete package of custom furniture, kitchenette and bath fixtures, carpeting and wall coverings will bring together a contemporary design all in the Polynesian theme. 32″ flat screen TV’s complete with gaming and video ports will enhance the amenity list of each unit.
The renovation plans for the indoor waterpark include 10-thousand square feet of additional water play areas. Plans include a large water-tipping water play area that will accommodate 100 people at one time, a five-thousand square foot wave pool and three timed speed slides.
Phase I construction will begin after Labor Day 2008 with the remodel of the first 100 units, construction of the overhead walkway connector and the brand new convention center. The second 100 units would be a part of the phase II construction and final phase III construction would be complete with the final 100 units. Condo units are currently for sale for under $150,000
