If you've been keeping an eye on things, you might've heard that the place took a major hit back in early December, with thefire causing massive destruction. It's no walk in the park to restore it to its former glory. Originally, the park's operators had planned to reopen in May, but unfortunately, that timeline couldn't be met due to unforeseen complications with the changing rooms and sanitary facilities.
Now, the good news is that the park will be back in business by June 16, according to a recent update. But hold on! The bad news? The initial damage estimate was way off – the true cost is now estimated to be over 20 million euros. That's a far cry from the initial 10 million euros estimate.
The fire had partially gutted the salt and crystal therapy area of the park, and final investigations revealed that a technical defect triggered the blaze. Although the thermal area is set to open in December, the leisure pool and sauna area will be the initial focus for reopening, with plans to rebuild the thermal area in the same manner as the original therapy area later on. Parts of the original building may be repurposed, and some aspects, such as the slide tower, will receive upgrades.
When asked about the delays and additional costs, Managing Director Lara Steinhart admitted, "Originally, we wanted to reopen much earlier, but it wasn't foreseeable that the changing rooms and sanitary facilities would be so severely affected."
In the meantime, around 200 employees had to take a leave of absence. But don't worry – no layoffs were necessary, and all employees remained part of the team. Looking back, the park welcomed around 700,000 guests each year, offering a sauna area, water park with numerous slides, and an outdoor area featuring a sand beach on a lake. Ticket prices are projected to remain unchanged after the reopening.
As always, it's best to double-check official sources for the latest updates on the Miramar water park. We recommend giving them a call or keep an eye on local news announcements for any changes in the forecasted reopening date or additional updates on the restoration progress.
In light of the rising damage assessment, estimated to exceed 20 million euros, the community policy for the employees of the restored Miramar water park may need to consider vocational training opportunities, such as outdoor-living and home-and-garden courses, to maintain their skills during the delay in park reopening. Amidst the challenging circumstances, the park's management and staff are looking forward to providing guests with the same enjoyable lifestyle experiences they've become accustomed to, featuring a revamped leisure pool, sauna area, and upgraded slides upon reopening on June 16.
