Water-sports park to open in 2018 in Lake Nona
A water-sports park — featuring an inflatable, floating obstacle course and wakeboarders pulled along by cables — is scheduled to open next summer in Lake Nona. Also on tap for the new Nona Adventure Park is a 60-foot climbing tower with ropes course.
Nona Adventure Park will be set up on Adventure Lake, which is adjacent to Laureate City Park.
The inflatable Wibet-style course, a Central Florida first, will be flexible in design and include interconnected elements, such as floating pathways, slides, trampolines and climbing obstacles for visitors to conquer.
The cable park will have two tracks. The larger course will take riders around a oval-shaped system of six towers, pulled along a 2,500-foot cable. Participants will ski at speeds up to 36 mph. The other track has two towers with a cable that’s 320 feet long. The cables are used in lieu of speedboats.
Meanwhile, on solid ground, the park will include a 60-foot climbing tower that incorporates a kids course.
Visitors will be able to buy passes for the whole park or for individual attractions. Nona Adventure Park will use RFID wristbands for checking in and for observing wait times.
Nona Adventure Park is owned and operated by entrepreneurs Kai Fusser and Real Bergevin.
Lake Nona is a 17-square-mile community in southeast Orange County owned by Tavistock Group. Other facilities in its emerging sports-innovation and performance district include those for Orlando City soccer, U.S. Tennis Association, a planned beach-volleyball complex and a planned resort to be anchored by an 11-acre manmade lagoon intended for swimming, paddle boarding, sailing and kayaking — as well as whitesand beaches.
