Water Safari changes hands

Iconic Old Forge theme park bought by Florida company after 46 years of family ownership

Editor’s note: This story w as updated at 4 p.m. March 5

After 46 years of ownership, the Noonan family in Old Forge has sold its Water Safari and related properties to Innovative Attraction Management of Windermere, Florida. The sale took place Friday, March 1, according to a news release sent by the new owners.

Originally opening in 1956 as the Enchanted Forest, Timothy Noonan purchased the theme park in 1977. He gradually expanded it into today’s Enchanted Forest Water Safari, New York state’s largest water theme park . In addition, the Noonans built the nearby Calypso’s Cove Family Fun Park featuring an arcade, mini-golf, and Go Karts. Also part of the sale: Old Forge Camping Resort, a year-round campground with cabins and cottages, RV and tent sites, and Water’s Edge Inn, a lakefront hotel with guest rooms and luxury suites.

“We are committed to preserving its great legacy developed over the last 4.5 decades by the Noonan Family, while enhancing the experience for guests of all ages,” said James Harhi, CEO for IAM a written statement. IAM specializes in theme parks, water parks, family entertainment centers, hotels and resorts, cruise ships, campgrounds, RV parks and similar assets.

Looking ahead

For Mike Farmer, head of tourism for Old Forge and town of Webb, the impacts of the sale remain to be seen.

“Water Safari is one of several key summer attractions our tourism department uses to market the town, along with McCauley Mountain , the Strand, VIEW, and others. The long-term impact will depend on IAM management continuing the high standards of customer service developed by the Noonan family. That’s what visitors take away and talk about, and that’s what brings them back year after year with new generations of their families,” he said.

When reached by phone on Tuesday, Katie Wojdyla of the Noonan family said she and her sister, Kelly Greene, will continue in their roles with the resort for the “foreseeable future.”

Greene, 55, who was the president of Enchanted Forest Water Safari, will serve as vice president. Wojdyla, 42, will continue to lead the marketing efforts. Wojdyla said her family felt that after 46 years, it was time to pass the torch.

Going forward, the name stays the same, and current staff retained at all the related businesses, said Wojdyla. 

“I’m sure there will be some change, but that has yet to be seen,” she said. “It’s the same safe, clean family fun everyone has grown to love over the years. We are all getting our bearings and we will start the real work.”

One change going into effect this coming season, which starts June 12: A $2 increase in ticket prices. More information: https://www.watersafari.com/ .

SCENIC RIVER CRUISES - BLACK SEA EXPLORER

The 7 Most Romantic Cruises for Couples to Take in 2024

Posted: November 8, 2023 | Last updated: November 8, 2023

Planning the ultimate couple’s getaway? As much as we love exploring Napa , Palm Beach , and the Hudson Valley , there’s something to be said about investing in an international vacation. Before shelling out for a boutique hotel, though, consider booking a cruise that can be just as romantic (yes, really). We're not talking about old-school cruises with cramped rooms, mediocre buffets, BINGO nights and overcrowded pool decks. These luxury cruises are here to blow your mind with amenities such as private butler service, world-class spas, delicious cuisine (hello, 24/7 complimentary caviar!) and palatial cabins with expansive ocean views, private jacuzzis and more.

Whether your idea of the perfect vacation is a European river adventure, an adults-only South Pacific cruise, or a party-all-night Caribbean rendezvous, there’s a cruise for you. To prove it, we rounded up the seven best cruises for couples. Check out these romantic options, below.

Crystal Cruises

If you’re looking to book a beautiful vacation on and off the ship, Crystal Cruises is worth considering. In addition to well-appointed palatial suites and a stunning spa (complete with massages, facials, naturopathic healing, and gentleman’s grooming services), Crystal Cruises is a foodie’s paradise. With nine distinct culinary options ranging from American and Italian to Japanese and Peruvian food, there’s something for everyone.

When booking a Crystal Cruise for your couple’s getaway, go all out with a Veranda or Penthouse suite. That way, you’ll have plenty of space, as well as the opportunity to take in the open seas from your very own balcony. If you’re toying with the idea of taking a sabbatical and making the absolute most of it, Crystal Cruises does have a World Cruise scheduled to set sail in 2025. The 123-night cruise will explore 62 destinations and 31 countries for what’s sure to be the trip of a lifetime.

Explore Crystal Cruises

Virgin Voyages

If your idea of the perfect couple’s vacation is one without kids, Virgin Voyages is the way to go. With destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, and the South Pacific—just to name a few—Virgin Voyages offers unforgettable oceanic excursions via its four-ship fleet.

For couples in the U.S., consider hopping about The Scarlet Lady, a large-scale ocean liner with a 2,762 sailor capacity. As the name suggests, The Scarlet Lady is a ship with decor and experiences drenched in sultry red. When you set sail on The Scarlet Lady (or any Virgin Voyages ship), you can anticipate all-inclusive cuisine, non-alcoholic beverages, group workouts, and Wi-Fi. While the beverage package is an additional cost, the adults-only landscape makes it worth it.

As for the cabins, they’re all chic but the Sea Terrace or Rockstar Quarters are the way to go for a truly unforgettable couple’s escape. If you go with the latter, you’ll even have your own private terrace jacuzzi.

Explore Virgin Voyages Cruises

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours

While ocean cruises are most common, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours makes a case for river excursions, too. That said, if you and your partner love river life and taking in the city shores, exploring new cities and towns as you go, you’ll fall head over heels for Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours.

In addition to dozens of oceanic adventures, the cruise line offers cruise explorations of nine of the world’s most iconic rivers, including the Seine, Rhine, Mekong, and Bordeaux rivers. If you ask us, it doesn’t get much better than the Scenic Gem, which winds up and down the Seine over the course of eight days and features stops in Paris, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Normandy.

One thing to note: Since this river cruise is all about luxurious sleep set-ups, delicious food, and awe-inspiring excursions, there aren’t as many wellness and leisure amenities aboard the ship (though, there is a small gym). That said, the all-inclusive cruise line offers butler service for all suites to boot, so if your goal is to make your partner feel pampered, it’s worth looking into.

Explore Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours

Viking Cruises

If you love the idea of cruising a river with your partner but are hoping for a lengthier aquatic adventure with striking cabins, Viking Cruises is the way to go. Although the cruise line offers a variety of oceanic cruises, the river excursions are what it’s known for. To make the most of the experience, we suggest going all out with a Veranda or Explorer Suite (both of which have balconies for you and your beloved to enjoy) for the Grand European Tour , which explores 13 cities and four countries across 15 days, with the option to personalize the experience with three pre-cruise and four post-cruise overnights.

Best of all, the trip comes with 12 guided tours, so you’ll be immersed in the culture of each of the cities you visit. (FYI: If you’re looking for a domestic cruise, Viking also has a Mississippi cruise which explores the river for eight to 22 days, depending on which option you book.)

Explore Viking Cruises

Silversea is dubbed the “crown jewel” of the Royal Caribbean Group. The all-inclusive cruise line self-proclaimed the label but with an offering so vast, we’d say it has earned it, too. Aboard Silversea ships, guests can enjoy around-the-clock gourmet dining, scrumptious craft cocktails and bubbly Champagne, butler service, and 24/7 access to complimentary caviar.

Suffice to say, it’s a couple’s paradise. All you have to do is pick which destination and duration aligns best with your dream vacation vision. As for the ship, the Silver Dawn is a popular pick, especially with its all-new, ultra-chic spa, OTIVM. Whatever you do, when booking, consider upgrading to a Superior or Deluxe Veranda Suite to make the most of your time on the water.

Explore Silversea Cruises

Royal Caribbean

Icon of the Seas is one of the latest ships to join Royal Caribbean’s fleet and while it still offers plenty of family-friendly, price-conscious staterooms, the vessel is a dream for vivid voyagers with a passion for great food, entertaining nightlife, and tranquil spa experiences. Complete with a sports and arcade bar, karaoke bar, a casino, and an English pub, the Icon of the Seas has plenty to offer night owl couples looking to explore the Caribbean.

Of course, it also has an impressive seven pools, not to mention the largest waterpark at sea. While you might think that that means kids will be everywhere you look, the ship actually has an area dedicated for families, as well as adult-only aqua escapes.

Windstar Cruises

Whether you’re in search of peaceful tranquility, unbelievable gastronomic delights, invigorating on-shore excursions, or merely a more intimate small-scale cruise experience, Windstar Cruises is worth considering. The six-ship fleet features smaller capacities, each carrying no more than a few hundred guests. For the most intimate experience, you’ll want to book the Wind Star or Wind Spirit, which both carry no more than 148 guests.

Just keep in mind, since these are smaller ships, there aren’t balcony rooms—just ocean view. Still, with destinations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and New England, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and more, the cultural experiences, and the James Beard-partnered culinary program will all but make up for it.
