It’s only been about a year since Showboat Hotel owner Bart Blatstein broke ground on a $100 million indoor water park in Atlantic City, but as seen on Wednesday, the structure seems to have made significant progress.

In announcing the groundbreaking last year, Blatstein said that the water park being erected just off the city’s boardwalk had been designed to give families a year-round option for entertainment that wouldn’t involve gambling.

“This water park is going to crush it,” he said, during the groundbreaking.

In talking about the plan last year, Blatstein noted that several water parks have been proposed in Atlantic City in the past, but many have not come to fruition.

He promised that his 103,000-square-foot park — expected to be called the Island Waterpark — will not suffer a similar fate.
