Overview:

Jay Peak knows a thing or two about sliding down slippery slopes. For decades, it has been one of New England's most popular ski resorts. As part of an expansion that will add more year-round attractions to the resort's menu of fun, Jay Peak is building a 50,000-square-foot indoor water park known as The Pump House. When it opens in December 2011 (according to plans), the weatherproof park will offer the usual gaggle of slides and other watery diversions--as well as a few unique features.

The most striking ride will be La Chute, the first AquaLoop to debut in an indoor water park and one of a handful in the world. Co-opting the concept of a coaster inversion, riders will climb a 71-foot tower, enter a launch capsule, countdown as the capsule's floor opens, freefall almost straight down in an enclosed tube, and propel up into a near-vertical loop. Jay Peak says that those brave enough to tackle the black diamond ride will reach speed up to 40 mph and experience a force of 2.5 Gs.

The indoor water park will also feature a skylight-style retractable roof to let the sun's rays in regardless of the outside temperature, and to open to the outdoors when the weather allows. To accommodate the considerable height of the AquaLoop, the roof will include a custom-designed cupola.

Other rides will include a long lazy river that will travel the perimeter of the park and include some rapids elements, and Double Barrel, a dual FlowRider surfing attraction that will give two guests at a time the chance to tackle waves on boogie boards. In addition to the water park attractions, the Jay Peak water park will offer an arcade with redemption games and a snack bar.

The Hotel Jay will offer 170 hotel rooms, most of which will be suites, a restaurant featuring pizza, fitness center, and conference center. Other amenities at Jay Peak include 76 ski and snowboard trails, a golf course, a spa, and an ice skating arena.
