There you have it...it's gonna be built under a dome....Thunderdome! ;)

Strange how in New Mexico and Arisona they help clear the way for parks and rides. Everywhere else you gotta pull teeth to do it or not get aproval at all. Like Waldameer.

Wouldn't that be expensive to maintain the dome? I used to live by the Silverdome (going to be destroyed next year) and they talked about deflating the roof to defray maintainance costs.

Well, they don't have to worry about snow.

The way that I read the article, it sounds like only the waterpark is under a dome. I thought that indoor waterparks were built to allow people to use them during the frigid winters of the north. Apparantly, they are needed so that you can cool off in the oppressive heat of the desert too.
