Splash Kingdom Family Waterparks has purchased Splash Amarillo waterpark in Texas, US, for an undisclosed sum.

The group operates two parks in Texas, in Canton and Hudson Oaks, and one in Shreveport, Louisiana. The company expects to open a park in Greenville, Texas, in 2015.

Splash Kingdom has plans for upgrades to the Amarillo water park before it re-opens for Memorial Day Weekend next year, a news release said.

"We are very excited about the opportunity to bring the Splash Kingdom experience to the people of Amarillo," president and CEO Johnny Blevins stated.

"The people of the tri-state area can expect to see additional expansion and lots of exciting amenities as our plans continue to develop."

The company intends to improve pools, restaurants and seating, the release said. Splash Kingdom completed an estimated $1m in renovations to its Shreveport park last year.

The Amarillo attraction originally opened as FireWater waterpark in June 2000. The park opened under the name Splash Amarillo, with different ownership, in 2004.
