The water park is the largest indoor beachfront water park in the world.

Several years prior to the official opening, Bart Blatstein, a Philadelphian investor, developer, and owner of Tower Investments Inc, announced plans to build a waterpark in Atlantic City, in the Showboat Atlantic City complex, a former casino that shuttered in 2014 and reopened several years later as a hotel. The plan accelerated in late 2022 and by June 24, 2023, construction was complete and the first VIPs were allowed to tour the park. Day passes for the waterpark are $89 per person.
