water park (occasionally written as waterpark) is an amusement park that features water play areas, such as water slides, splash pads, spraygrounds (water playgrounds), lazy rivers, or other recreational bathing, swimming, and barefooting environments. Water parks in more current states of development may also be equipped with some type of artificial surfing or bodyboarding environment such as a wave pool or FlowRider.
Water parks have grown in popularity since their introduction in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The United States has the largest and most concentrated water park market, with over a thousand water parks and dozens of new parks opening each year. Major organizations are IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) and WWA (World Waterpark Association).
Water parks emerging from spas continue to more closely resemble mountain resorts as they become four-season destinations-for example, Splash Universe Water Park Resort, a member of the World Water Park Association, is themed to match the community in which it is located. The theme is intended to enhance the communities' destination appeal. Therefore, the amusement and leisure time industry is becoming more concentrated as winter sports are becoming commonplace themes in summertime water rides. A process of concentration can be observed in the hybrid segments of theme-, amusement-, and water parks. Some water parks are more spa-oriented; e.g. Schwaben Quellen, a member of European Waterparks Association (EWA) has no water slides, but instead has many saunas, steam rooms, "adventure showers", and relaxation-oriented water play areas.[citation needed]
Aco-Braco, derane moj trsavi
ti i ja smo drzava u drzavi
pukose na vrazjoj burzi
Franjo Josip i Habzburzi
Boljsevici cara skefali
otis'o na dobos Kajzer ko poslednji salabajzer
samo nama nista ne fali
Aco-Braco, derane moj stasiti
kad si vatra svi te 'oce gasiti
vracaju nam i zavide
al' to valjda tako ide
samo lepo mozes ruziti
neg', ogrni jankel stofan
suste suknje ko celofan
zavist valja i zasluziti
Malo mame, malo cerke
opajdare, kaciperke, kibicuju i zagledaju
siparice, gradske smizle, porumene ko ribizle
kad sa nama pripovedaju
ne bije nas dzabe glas
zadeni za sesir klas
i mater vetru dok je nama nas
Aco-Braco, derane moj srditi
da te grdim to mi je ko sebe grditi
to il' nemas ili imas
da te s vrata spazi primas
gust je dati, a ne stiskati
nije gazda kesa suplja
sto budzasto novce skuplja
gazda je ko ume spiskati
Aco-Braco, derane moj cestiti
Bog nek gleda di ce koga smestiti
od Bodjana do Opova
sila hulja i lopova
koji grabe sta odaberu
od Opova do Bodjana
jos je dobrih Vojvodjana
