Just want to get a sense of what is the coldest temperature you think a waterpark such as Wet n' Wild could operate year round including the winter? What is the coldest temperature you would go to a water park in the winter time?
For me the idea behind a water park is to cool off when it's hot. It's not as if I'd go every weekend either, just a few days a year at most, so I'd go when it's hot (25C+) assuming my climate can have those kinds of temperatures (mine does, as do most).
It needs to be at least 72 - 74 F with sun. I did water bumper cars at the family center when it was windy and overcast with temps in the upper 60s and when I got drenched it was funny but AWFUL at the same time.
There is an outdoor hydroslide (calling it a water park would be too generous) in town that is open for 9 months a year - which is all the months that have a maximum above 16C/60F. The water is unheated and it's outdoor. It can be a little nippy in September, but by October the water is always warm.
I don't think it would be very busy on a cold wet May or September day though.
60 F with bright sunshine is not too cold for an amusement park as long as you have a double layered long sleeve wetsuit on.
It was 54 F here and I was wearing a T shirt with jeans and spent quite a bit of time outside without feeling cold. Finally, my cold sensitive genes are disappearing. I am proud . Hope this keeps up for eternity.
While these temperatures wouldn't be doable during the summer months, I imagine they'd be comfortable enough for the winter months.
