The Gold Saucer could use a water park

[TeraRamis]

I've previously advocated for Gold Saucer housing (something I maintain would be both amazing and fun [and potentially easy-to-implement if it was just added in apartment format - a logical design considering that it would be luxury hotel-like). But I'd also like to see the GS get a water park annex for a number of reasons:

• The Saucer is in the desert.
• It feels slightly claustrophobic at times while visiting the GC; it would be nice to be able to 'go outside.'
• We have tons of swimwear options and few places to use them (I almost never see people at Costa del Sol anymore).
• A combination of slides, pools, and events would be really fun (maybe they could even do a wave-pool where you get thrown into people - that would be hilarious). Lazy river anyone?
• Japan is pretty famous for its 'indoor/outdoor' tropical themeparks. This could be a nice nod to that.
• Godbert has been dressed for this moment his entire life.

I'm a person who spends a lot - perhaps even most - of their game time in the Gold Saucer, so any improvements are always welcome. But I'd really like to see the venue's overall appeal for RP, hanging out, and 'adult (not sexual, but, like, 18+ club/nightlife. This is SO popular in FFXIV, and it would be cool to see an upscale bar scene in the Saucer) entertainment' enhanced. Adding a water park would be a really nifty and logical addition to the venue.

I think the Gold Saucer needs a little competition. Maybe a new resort on an island off the coast of Costa del Sol?

That could work, too.

Wait for the Moonfire Faire event, that takes place at Costa del Sol on the beach - you'll get your pool minigames then.

Would it be outdoors (akin to Schlitterbahn, Typhoon Lagoon, etc.), or indoors (akin to Great Wolf Lodge)?

The ability to fish in Gold Saucer is priority number 1, then we can talk Waterpark. xD

That would be amazing and sounds like fun!

I'd love a water park. That seems like a lot of fun!

Sounds good to me. More places for bikini wearing eye candy always sounds good. However, it needs mini games to be fun.

[Fyrebrand]

Yes!! I love it!

I would also like to see an alternate version of the "Air Force One" rail shooter mini-game where you ride down river rapids, over a waterfall, maybe there is an underwater segment too...

Also, a Leviathan-themed GATE similar to Typhon and Yojimbo, where you have to try to stay on a giant raft as it violently tilts this way and that, or gets washed over by waves.
