This was the largest and most expensive expansion to the park since its original opening. The renovation included a 17,000 square foot wave pool, an activity lagoon, racing slides, new entrance plaza, rental cabanas, and shaded lounge chairs. The park closed in early 2012 to start construction for the expansion. As a part of this renovation, the park is phasing out the Egyptian theme and going towards a beach theme. The sphinx in front of the park will have sunglasses added to it. Splash Kingdom also added a 12,000 square foot trampoline park called SkyTown. In five years, Splash Kingdom plans to have removed the fun park, and to add more waterpark attractions, making the park a full blown water-park.
