Massanutten review in the Post
posted by Brent FinneganTo the delight of the Great Eastern Resort Corporation and the local tourism office, Massanutten Resort got a glowing review in today’s Washington Post. The main focus of the feature is the water park:
But the undisputed headliner of this show is the whacking [?] great water park a mile or so down the main road… the opaque white roof of the indoor facility looms like a glowing timber-frame pyramid. Three stories of arcades, eateries and gift shops overlook the main hall, where splashes and shouts fill the vast, hangar-like space.
But the article also mentions the “eye-popping $38 a day per person” admission fee to the park, and “traffic backups that can make a left turn a five-minute affair.” No mention of the short-term rental debate, which the Rockingham County BoS is supposed to make a decision on tonight during a closed session.
I’m sure the water park is great, but my snowboard is gathering dust…

I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one that thinks it’s too expensive. Heck, I’ve even heard property owners say it’s too expensive at their discounted rate of $30/day. What would a “fair” price be? You could go to King’s Dominion for only $7 more per day (http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/news/stories/20061215_01.shtml).
You can see a few more photos of the water park on this webpage:
