Splashin' Away: Fun-tastic Water Park "Miramar" to Re-emerge Mid-June Post-Fire Mishap
'Miramar pool to re-open on June 15th' (alternatively: 'Resurrection of Miramar pool scheduled for June 15') - Miramar's delay in opening until mid-June confirmed.
You know what they say — when life gives you water lemons, build a water park! And that's exactly what the operators of the much-loved "Miramar" in Weinheim, Rhein-Neckar district, have been doing after a, let's call it a, "hiccup" that occurred back in early December.
This hiccup, a blaze that grabbed headlines and, unfortunately, a good chunk of their budget — estimated at a hefty 20+ million euros (yikes!) — has led to a rescheduled grand reopening on June 16th. Originally, they had their eyes on a May comeback, but come April, reality signed the checks, and the dream had to be deferred.
The fire did quite the number on valuable parts of the park, including the leisure pool, the salt and crystal spa, and a few select changing rooms and sanitary facilities. But fear not, fellow fun enthusiasts, as the spa area is set to rise like the proverbial phoenix, returning to its former glory and gracing us all with its presence by December. Score one for team "Miramar"!
The cause of this unprecedented event, as a spokesperson so eloquently put it, was a technical defect. It's like the waterslides themselves rebelled against the insensible order of things... or something like that.
Now, as the park's operators prepare to welcome back grinning guests, they're not messing around. Not content with simply patching up the damages, they've decided to throw in a little extra flare. An additional 1.8 million euros will be spent on redesigning that slide tower you've been ogling all these years.
The closure of the park has caused a temporary staggering of 9 million euros to the operator's coffers. But in a bold display of loyalty (or business survival tactics, depending on your point of view), all 200-odd employees remain steadfast, with no layoffs in sight.
So, get ready to don your swimsuits, lather up in copious amounts of sunscreen, and prepare yourself for a world-class water-y adventure, because "Miramar" is back, baby! Approximately 700,000 people, on average, flock to this watery wonderland each year, sorest their weary souls in its sauna area, whoop and holler as they reach the bottom of its numerous slides, and frolic in the outdoor area amid the sandy beach and picturesque lake. And despite the mammoth costs to fix up the park, the operators have made it clear that ticket prices will remain refreshingly unchanged.
