    As for merging Fargo and West Fargo -- most(all?) of West Fargo north of Main Ave. used to be the city of Riverside, ND.

    It's OK to not be OK.

    I think you meant to say Cass County owns the fairgrounds.

    It's funny, but MANY places smaller than Fargo have places like that. Went to Spearfish last summer and they have a kick ass one as well.

    They gutted their old K Mart, turned the inside into a Rec Center and build the waterpark in the parking lot. It's brilliant.

    To be fair, Spearfish is in a much more touristy area than Fargo, ND. I remember spending time at the Rushmore Waterpark in Rapid City which closed to put up apartments I believe. Fargo's benefit is the regional draw.

    That's pretty awesome but we need something indoors. Outdoors would kill it for 4 months but the other 8 months out of the year would make it profitable and unique

    I would buy that angle, but how do you explain Dickinson's killer water park. They had it planned prior to the recent oil boom and I can tell you Dickinson is NOT tourist filled in the summer.

    Fargo used to have some entertainment

    Anyone remember Driverz inside the West 45th Business park, which now houses Sanford, etc

    Indoor go carts on 2 levels, and games etc, was a great time in college to get some drinks in you and go race, it was open year round.

    I-29 amusement that folded and now they are building Apartments. Thunder Road seems to be making good money always has people, but its seasonal

    There is a real need IMO for some form of Indoor entertainment for the cold months, but should the city be involved? I would think a Private sector builder would probably have a better facility, better options, hours, maybe a Bar Restaurant etc, a City operated place would be too suffocated by City intervention.

    edit:

    Ha just found a savesite.com link to what they used to have in Driverz, i remember it now

    I remember Driverz. Would probably do pretty well now. Back then the population was way smaller and 45th St wasn't really the monster traffic road it is today.

    Spearfish also has a much smaller population than Fargo/Moorhead.

    In my opinion, the problem with water parks today is liability. They are lawsuits waiting to happen in today's sue happy world. Not worth the headache.
