The Beach at Adventure Landing is a water park located northeast of Cincinnati in Mason, Ohio. Previously known as The Beach Waterpark, it features ten water attractions, several chidren areas, sand volleyball and basketball courts, pool-side beverage service and other special events.〔 The Beach was named the best privately owned water park by Aquatics International Magazine in 2010. In March 2012, The Beach announced it would be closing its doors after operating at a loss for several years, citing a bad economy and poor attendance. In July 2013, Adventure Landing LLC based out of Florida announced plans to lease and reopen the water park as The Beach at Adventure Landing. It reopened to the public on May 18, 2013. ==History== The beach began development in December 1984, since its opening in 1985, The Beach has remained a privately owned and operated facility by the Bunnel Hill Developmental Company. Although it does not always reveal exact numbers, The Beach averages 300,000 visitors per year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heat Kept Tourism Subdued )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Beach: Summer Thrills and Splashes ) 〕 Since early 2000s, The Beach featured local DJ's on Tuesday nights during the summer operating season for their Club Aqua Splash teen night. The Beach announced on March 9, 2012, that the park would not reopen for the 2012 season. Ralph Vilardo Jr., spokesperson for The Beach Waterpark, released a statement saying, “We have been proud to provide entertainment and employment to Southwest Ohioans for more than 27 years. Like many businesses these days, we had to make the difficult decision to close after concluding that further investment to support the business cannot be justified.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Beach Waterpark )〕 Those who had purchased 2012 season passes were offered discounts and passes to other local attractions, such as Kings Island and the Cincinnati Zoo. A lawsuit was filed by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in response to hundreds of complaints that the proposed substitutions were inadequate. Adventure Holdings LLC, parent company of the Adventure Landing amusement park chain based in Florida, announced plans to lease The Beach Waterpark and rename it to The Beach at Adventure Landing. On March 6, 2013, the water park was officially sold to National Retail Properties LP, an affiliate of Adventure Holdings LLC, for $3 million. They held a job fair later that month to hire 500 employees and invested $5 million in renovations to the park, which reopened to the public on May 18, 2013.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Beach at Adventure Landing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
