I consider the following to be very good news - considering that Cypress Gardens was at risk of closing a couple of years ago.

No word on whether they serve alcohol in the park

Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven is launching a Saturday night Polynesian pool party that will take place at its water park this month. Steel drums, Hawaiian dances and a fire performance will be part of the event, park officials said.

Splash Island Nights – Polynesian Pool Party will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. on July 12, 19 and 26. The event will cost $5 for park guests and $15 for people who are not in the park for the day. For an additional charge, guests can have an island style buffet that includes mojo shredded pork, yellow rice with peas, mango and pineapple in coconut milk and bread pudding.
