In today's new roundup, which surprisingly isn't full of that many terrible things: Sun Life Stadium may now have a new wet and wild neighbor, two pilots crash a plane in a canal but survive, the DUI teacher won't be returning to class, and Zoo Miami wants your votes for trash.
Despite being home to some Dolphins and Marlins there isn't anything aquatic about Sun Life Stadium, but according to Dolphins owner Jeffrey Ross' new plans the stadium wants to get you all wet. Ross is expected to announce today the building of a multi-million dollar water park on a 40-acre lot next to the stadium complete with slides, rides and a place to swim with actual fish.
Our excitement for Broward's proposed Schlitterbahn water park is on record, so we're practically already lathering on the sunscreen and inflating our floaty wings at this news. Basically, we are like 10-years-old and get super excited about anything related to water slides.
The park will be privately funded and is expected to be open around the spring of 2012. [NBCMiami]
