I don't see how this can possibly go wrong...

Save yourself the money on a feasibility study and look at what Banana Bend has turned into.

Lots of drownings, drunk Mezcuns, trash, etc...No thanks.

They mention the Sands in Singapore as a large public pool, even thought it's for hotel guests only.

Yes, it is horrible, this idea.

I think it's a cool idea in theory, but don't foresee it ever happening and successful.

I used to love going to banana bend for a burger when skiing on the river.

The topography and soil type just doesn't work. It won't filter out and clear up the silt from the water.

Perhaps I underestimate crowd funding, but I just don't see an idea that truly has merit going this route. If you've got a great idea and a sound business plan major funding and backing from traditional sources shouldn't be all that hard to come by. As it stands now, they're suckering people in with rewards of a t-shirt, a beach ball, and for the high roller a private party. PT Barnum was right.... There's a sucker born every minute.

Maybe they can give a tax abatement to an aquifer interested in relocating.

this sort of thing has appeal in places like Austin where springs are 70* even in the middle of august... if people here want to swim in a tepid body of water in the summer they jump in a swimming pool

Only an idiot would give money to a feasibility study. There is nothing to give back to your backers.

Good idea to replace the Astrodome.

I once went to Huntsville state park on the 4th of July. They have a swimming area about half the size of a football field roped off on the lakeshore. I have seldom seen such a density of dark haired people. There was probably 1 person for every 4 square feet jammed in there.
