Aventuur an Australian company is reported to be opening a park in Perth, but their website does not show a Jax project. Who knows, maybe this one will actually happen.

What is now the 295 corridor was developed over a long time by the Skinner and Davis families This project has been assigned a very high-visibility location. The Wave Garden under construction in Virginia Beach may have been an encouragement. I think it's a puzzle that Florida is so far behind. We are getting elaborate fake inland beaches featuring new, apparently efficient, water purification. So except for the ancient Typhoon lagoon, it's all flat water.

The Jacksonville project is by Aventuur, a company in Perth, Australia and Los Angeles. They're aiming for a wave pool in Singapore and already have plans for Perth and Auckland.
