Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The Resort at Governor’s Crossing announced yesterday (1/16) that it would be adding a 3rd waterslide to its indoor and outdoor water park facilities. The third slide will be located at the outdoor pool area adding to its array of waterpark amenities. Instillation of the slide is targeted for completion in late April of this year.
Also, The Resort announced the addition of a “Log Roll” to its indoor facility for 2010. The “Log Roll” will be similar to the old lumberjack challenge of staying upright while the log is spinning in the water. The “log roll” can be used individually or to challenge another person. The “Log Roll” will replace the Gator that was installed in 2009, the Gator will move to one of the outdoor pools.  Instillation of the “Log Roll” is expected to be completed sometime in April.

This Weeks Fall Foliage Update

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Today’s photos from the Campbell Overlook show the Great Smoky Mountains at peak color in the lower elevations even though these pictures were taken with overcast skies in between rain showers. With the rain expected to move out of the area overnight and with little wind to take the leaves down, the colors should be excellent through the weekend.

When a person sees something everyday, it becomes the norm and many times it is overlooked or taken for granted. Having lived in this area the last eleven years, I can not remember seeing the vivid yellows, oranges and reds we are currently seeing. For many years the park service has said that we need rain through out the year to produce the vibrant colors, and this year has been very wet.

If one has not had the opportunity to view the fall colors in this region, this is an exceptional year to take the time and visit. With the upcoming weekend being one of the slower of the fall season, The Resort at Governors Crossing has great rates for a fall foliage getaway.

Friday, October 9th, 2009

In listening to you, our guests, voice disappointment with the manufacture’s 48 inch height requirement on the indoor high speed water slides we are pleased to announce a new 36 inch height requirement. After many months of negotiations with the manufacturer and their representatives they have agreed to allow any child 36” or taller to use the slides.

Children 36” to 48” tall will be required to wear a life vest provided by The Resort to use the water slides.  Anyone 48”or taller will still be able to use the slides without the vest.

The Resort at Governor’s Crossing strives to make all guests, including our younger guest’s stay an enjoyable and safe experience.
