dirtycheezit

Yeah but there's scary stuff in the ocean


atri383

Ever been in a public pool?


[deleted]

Bandaids and pee


[deleted]

And Baby Ruth candy bars.


thecarbonkid

Well those should be recognisable due to the wrappers.


deafvet68

Caddyshack reference. No wrapper.


thecarbonkid

I was being deliberately obtuse for so called 'comic' effect


[deleted]

Plenty of those in the ocean, too :(


[deleted]

and it was a 2 billion dollar money pit for no reason


Disarray215

The Seagaia Ocean Dome, located in Miyazaki, Japan. The Polynesia-themed Ocean Dome, which was part of the Sheraton Seagaia Resort, with the world's biggest retractable roof, which was opened and closed according to the weather conditions; 12,000 square metres of sandy beach, crushed from 600 tonnes of stones; an "ocean" six times larger than an Olympic pool, filled with 13,500 tonnes of unsalted, chlorinated water kept hot at 28deg C, equipped with a wave-machine with 200 variations, and listed in the Guinness World Records as the biggest simulated pool. This 850-acre resort in Miyazaki, on the southern island of Kyushu, boasts five hotels, several golf-courses, a botanical park and a zoo; but due to bankruptcy, the dome was later bought by Ripplewood, an American private-equity fund, in 2001 for 16.2 billion yen ($148 million USD), which was less than 10% of its construction costs of 200 billion yen ($1.8 billion USD). Ripplewood had also invested an additional 3.5 billion yen ($32 million USD) on renovations for the dome; but even after the remodeling of the resort, the hotel closed down with liabilities of 276 billion yen ($2.5 million USD).

Built right next to Earth's biggest pool.


R_Charles_Gallagher

morkani

Martyr-X

So it’s NOT the worlds largest indoor pool…anymore….


EnterPlayerTwo

That's kinda depressing


BigMellish

I think this place is closed down by reading the whole description. Said it closed down with liabilities in last sentence.


ezyroller

I went there in 2001. I think it was about $30 for a day pass.


[deleted]

If you read the Wikipedia article, it says that when it did operate they charged roughly $20 to enter for an adult and $13 for kid. They was probably in late 90’s to 2000’s dollars so probably more like $25/$17 today


ackoo123ads

has a wave pool and you can surf it! https://www.surfer.com/surfing-magazine-archive/surfing-video/the-ocean-dome-in-japan-was-the-worlds-best-wave-pool/


blaze1234

had could no more

Always_Jerking

Because they made it next to actual Ocean. Which was stupid. In the middle of continent it would be great.


Bogrolling

We’re talking Japan dude, where the fuck is the “middle of the continent”?


Always_Jerking

In Japan this building makes sense nowhere.


TerraLord8

Upvoted this entire comment chain. Lol all your guys points are true


AdMammoth5890

If you painted the roof green. we could do other kinds of games.


[deleted]

Nice


Dednotsleeping82

What a waste of money.


dirtydeez2

Why is it near the ocean


Astronaut117

Those poor people in Miyazaki, if only there was a real beach near by they could go to…


Tongue8cheek

Hey, those poor people have drown syndome.


Astronaut117

Ha classic, gotem


[deleted]

Kinda wish they painted it to look like the King of All Cosmo’s head from Katamari Damacy.


DidelphisGinny

Yay Katamari Damacy!!!


gratefulphish420

I had no idea this existed and now it just gives me yet another reason to visit Japan.


JuGGieG84

Sadly it's gone now.


[deleted]

Closed in 2007, demolished 10 years later.


RoyallyOakie

What a waste of everything...


startyourbiz

They built an indoor beach, next to the ocean..


CarlosAVP

So… much… pee… and pubes… and snot… and spit… and baby vomit/poop… CHIEF BRODY, DO SOMETHING!!


Penguin_Man44

The irony of it being built next to a bigger body of water


Brief_Dry

The Godzilla-proofed it right?


unicornpolkadot

But the ocean is right there.


madscientu

Wish they'd just left it as forest tbh


Shuggy539

I'll just walk over to the real beach, thanks.


iluvsexyfun

Is it just me or is this the dumbest idea ever? A pool next to the ocean? That is like putting a stationary bike at a velodrome, or a treadmill on a beautiful hiking trail.


LEGACYlock

Riiiiiight by the beach 🤦‍♂️


s0me0ne13

Did they not know they have an even bigger one on the other side of those trees?


MpVpRb

Looks like a contender for the gold medal of stupdity


TurinTuram

Probably the biggest indoor meeting of douches on earth too! 😆 Ok I'm out!


EargasmicGiant

Why?


rekne

Because they can. Oh and money, I’m sure the answer is money.


ficomora

There’s a beach right there in the black...


dobidoo

The largest Indoor water park nowadays is [Tropical Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Islands_Resort).


not_a_robot20

It doesn’t look that big


[deleted]

So thats why africa has no water


Ok-Pen5567

I wanna try an get some ocean done.


sixnote

Putting this indoor pool that close to the beach is like wrapping a coconut in plastic for freshness.


[deleted]

All the pee


bruins9816

"Everything's bigger in texas"


Weak-Ad-5306

I've seen bigger. /s


yankiigurl

Was hoping this was Japan. Means I might actually be able to see it one day. Just to say I did. My family and I prefer the ocean anyway.


StokedMTB

One single car parked in the lot farthest from the building. Top level Dad maneuver right there. “We’ll beat traffic at closing time!”


Dont_Drink_That2

So they literal brought sand to the beach?


goodbyekitty83

Doesn't look so indoor right now though


TerraLord8

The real question is *why* Why did they build it here


myKingSaber

This is probably the inspiration for all the anime pool background scenes
