An abandoned aircraft hanget turned into a resort and waterpark : theCHIVE

An abandoned aircraft hangar gets a new purpose (8 Photos)

: This abandoned aircraft hangar in Germany got a giant makeover and was transformed into a beach resort/ waterpark. 29,000 tropical plants make an artificial rainforest that is full of exotic birds. The resort also pumps natural rainforest sounds through hidden speakers. Tropical Island Resort complex has a constant air temperature of 25 °C (77 °F), produces its own artificial sun, and is open all day, every day of the year.

The place is called "Tropical Island" and is just around 70 kilometers south-east of Berlin.
Before the hall was transformed into a tropical paradise it was meant to be the construction place for a gigantic zeppelin called "Cargolifter" which should be able to carry a load of approximately 160t from continent to continent.
Tried to go there right after christmas, but it was so crowded, the waiting time was more than 3h! So if you want to go there, check if it's holiday time in Germany!

Houston Astrodome……just found the solution for it. Houston needs to take some notes and figure out that is a great idea for it.

This place looks absolutely amazing. Who ever come up with this idea was brilliant. Slide looks like it could be fun but it needs a wave pool.

Yet, in Houston Texas people want to tear down the Astrodome, once the eight wonder of the world. Sad day when the Germans out-wit Americans.

Do they allow ultra-lights or hot-air balloons?

They should have a bungie jump platform at the top of the dome as well.
