THERE WAS A Water park in plans for Country Crossing

A country music themed water park in the Country Crossings complex is in design stage and is among plans for what Enterprise resident Doug Rainer said his boss calls the country music resort and entertainment “extravaganza” in Houston County.
Rainer is director of communications for Ronnie Gilley Properties and Country Crossings. On Wednesday he outlined plans for the multi-million- dollar complex developed by Gilley that is focus of legal and political controversy because of the facility’s Bingo Pavilion, which Gov. Bob Riley deems illegal. Hundreds of Alabama State Troopers last week stood poised to shut down the facility and confiscate the electronic bingo machines on Riley’s orders.
“Country Crossings closed its own doors Thursday to protect its employees and patrons,” Rainer said. “We are working diligently to solve the issue once and for all,” he added. “What you should know is that we closed to protect our people.”
Rainer said he was disgusted at what he called “a gross misuse of power” in the state. “It is political grandstanding at its best.”
Rainer said the John Anderson Cafeteria, the Darryl Worley Bird Saloon and Lorrie Morgan’s Hot Chicken Restaurant are also closed because their restroom facilities are in the adjoining Bingo Pavilion.
Originally planned by Gilley as an upscale residential community, the economic downturn in the housing market caused the change in focus to a country music entertainment venue, Rainer said.
A convention center is planned for Phase Three of the complex, Rainer said. Three dinner theaters and a steak house named for country music recording artist Tracy Lawrence are also in future plans.
The Honky Tonk Water Park is what Rainer said he is looking forward to seeing. “It will be the first-ever country music themed water park,” he said. “It’s even supposed to have a gigantic cowboy boot water slide.”
