Great Wolf Lodge® Concord, NC officially opened its doors on April 23rd, 2009. This is the eleventh Great Wolf Lodge indoor waterpark to feature SCS Interactive’s multi-level treehouse structure as its cornerstone attraction.
The treehouse waterfort attraction called Fort Mackenzie™ stands four stories tall, houses a magnificent nearly 1,000 gallon tipping bucket and a suspension bridge. It also features a northwoods-inspired theme, two body slides, and variety of exciting interactive spray pool elements. Visitors to the waterpark will enjoy more than 60 guest activated water features that squirt, spray, and blast.
“The treehouse concept has given Great Wolf Resorts an enormous amount of flexibility to customize the attraction, giving each resort its own unique identity, while creating a distinct and recognizable feature that links each property together,” said Steve Wagner, vice president of marketing and sales, SCS Interactive.
The Great Wolf Lodge indoor waterpark in Concord, NC also features 11 waterslides including an exciting Howlin’ Tornado™ ride, a family raft ride and four-lane mat racer waterslides, and four pools including a wave pool.
