Trivia

 * The park is located inside an entirely opaque geodesic dome, no daylight gets into the park except at the main entrance. It is the third-largest geodesic dome in the world.
 * The park was codenamed "The Axiom" in early development, due to it's interior having similarities to the main interior of the fictional Axiom spacecraft from the 2008 film "WALL-E".
 * The park is notable for having extremely long operating hours, with peak days having the water park open until 11 PM and the amusement park open until 2 AM.
 * Originally, the park was planned to have the first In-N-Out Burger east of the Mississippi in it's food court, but plans were scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the location was instead opened at the Mall of the South project in Atlanta, Georgia.
