Core memory unlocked. Completely forgot they had these growing up.
The water park I used to go to had one of these until it was demolished for apartments, then I saw one at lake Compounce
Damn never thought I’d see a lake compounce reference

professional with installation would click-for-quote expensive.
Needs a big ass-pump.
You could diy it, but you’ll need to be multi-talented
The dome is just fiberglass and expoy. The post would probably be best as steel. Dedicated pool pump, you’d have a hell of a time anchroing it into an existing pool.
I would love to be under there sipping a gin and tonic, but not sure how to get under there without it being topped off with chlorinated water.
Maybe this is why some drinks are served with little umbrellas.
This was the most Jerry Seinfeld comment I’ve ever seen on Lemmy. Bravo!
I’m here all week, folks.
Actually, I don’t think you ever leave.
My brother married a Mexican woman and during their first Thanksgiving together, sitting around the table with family members, my brother made a joking comment saying “now it’s time for the Airing of Grievances!”
His wife’s brother (who apparently wasn’t a Seinfeld fan) misheard him as having said “the Aryan Grievances” and was like “what sort of fucked up white people shit is this?!”
Where I live it’s illegal to be drinking in public on beaches but you see
a lot which are universally understood to contain alcohol of some variety
Core memory unlocked. My childhood public pool had one of these and it was incredibly loud
I absolutely have permanent hearing damage from one of these things. Worth it though
On Planet Coaster 314 dollars. So that is the real price too
I can’t imagine how many gallons of water it goes through at a time though.
edit: lol I’m dumb. Its just moving around the water that’s already there. Still though, better add a pool to the supply list.
The completely masculine urge to sit down in the shallow water underneath the rain mushroom.
Masculinity is overrated anyway
Avoid the mushroom fountain if you ever go to Bonnaroo. It looks nice, but the water is untreated and recycled.
Practically all water themed activities with kids are great places to see what disease or fungus you can catch. Seen a kid shit on the ground at a splash pad and they just mopped it up and turned the water back on.
Also those fountains on the ground are essentially bidets because most kids don’t wipe their ass well.
Sure but they also chlorinate the absolute crap out of them so while it’s gross you’re unlikely to actually catch something. The chlorine just destroys your hair and clothing and skin.
Mostly, cryptosporidium doesn’t give a fuck and it’ll come out of a kids ass.
The parasite needs to be in heavily chlorinated water for awhile to break through it’s thick membrane.
Since the water is flying around at splash pads it’s usually going to survive a lot longer than in a pool and even in a regular pool chlorine is not full proof.
There’s an outdoor public pool in the park near my home, and in the ‘kids section’ there is one of these. Very popular this time of year.

My city’s public pools close at the beginning of August for some stupid-ass reason.
A reverse umbrella.
It’s the biggest hummingbird bath I’ve ever seen.
The way government build contracts work, that addition probably cost tax payers millions. Meanwhile, you or I could contract the work of a inground pool with mushroom for $150k ($125k pool, $25k mushroom/fountain) if Google is to be believed.
It could be done for a lot less than that, especially if you go with a splash pad version instead of a pool.
I get the sentiment, but that WATERPARK is considerably larger and more elaborate than the in ground pool in a backyard.
