The new project includes a 14,000 square-foot activity building, which features an owners lounge, family activities center, business center, game room, workout facility with sauna and steam room and banquet facilities to enable the resort to host large gatherings. With architecture by L2 Studios, the outdoor area includes a zero-entry pool with two 35-foot waterslides, a lazy river with a bridge and an interactive kiddy splash pad. The renovated and enlarged pool bar paired with two spas, an outdoor double-sided fireplace, ten cabanas and a spectacular fountain to create an environment ideal for total relaxation. The final touch to the facility is the indoor golf simulator, adding a unique variation to the modern amenities and resulting in WPC's (www.wpc.com) largest project for the resort to date.

Says Jeff Forrest, President of WPC, "With over three decades of construction and general contracting services, our experience has enabled us to build just about anything imaginable. Creating innovative amenities has provided added value to our clients and is a nice compliment to our extensive experience in the resort industry."

Also built by WPC at the resort in 2010, the $4 million Fantasy Surf at the Vacation Villas at Fantasy World Resort in landlocked Kissimmee gives visitors the opportunity to experience the rush of sliding, riding, and surfing waves. SPM Resorts, Inc. is a full-service timeshare resort management company that manages Vacation Villas and 21 other resorts and serves over 100,000 timeshare owners.

According to Trish Docherty, Regional VP of Operations for SPM Resorts, Inc., "The resort's original pool, built in 1984, needed a total renovation. Since WPC had done such an amazing job with our Fantasy Surf amenity and smaller pool for guests' usage while the new pool area was being built, they were the natural choice for the design/build of our latest amenity."
