Part of the emphasis on the new waterpark was to make it their own and bring their property together. The last few additions to the park have all been slides that are easily moved to a new location, or sold if they no longer had a use for them.

As for another City Walk, I'm not sure that really makes sense. That area of I-Drive is largely just lodging, not a party scene.
