American Resort Management Celebrates Epic Waters' National Recognition in USA TODAY 10Best Awards

Grand Prairie, TX (April 30, 2025) American Resort Management (ARM), a national leader in hospitality and attraction operations, is proud to announce that Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark—which ARM has operated since its inception—has once again been named one of the Top 3 Indoor Waterparks in the Nation in the 2025 USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards. This marks the third year in a row the Grand Prairie, Texas attraction has received this prestigious honor, underscoring ARM's commitment to delivering world-class guest experiences and operational excellence.

"This recognition is more than just a ranking—it's a reflection of the high standards, hard work, and guest-first mindset that drive our teams every day," said Richard Coleman, CEO of American Resort Management. "To be voted into the top three indoor waterparks in the U.S. for a third consecutive year confirms that Epic Waters is not just a waterpark—it's a destination experience, and we're proud to play a central role in its continued success."

The USA TODAY 10Best Awards are determined through a two-part process: nominations by expert travel editors and final rankings based on public votes. Epic Waters' repeat recognition highlights its standout design, resort-style amenities, and immersive, all-weather appeal.

ARM attributes the consistent acclaim to a clear operational philosophy: combine industry-leading innovation with intentional, guest-centered service. "Every element—from rides to retail—is thoughtfully curated to create joy, comfort, and memorable moments," Coleman added. "Epic Waters is a shining example of what can be achieved when a municipality, developer, and operator come together with a shared vision for excellence."

Beyond accolades, Epic Waters is also an anchor for EpicCentral, the City of Grand Prairie's thriving 172-acre entertainment district. Coleman emphasized that ARM's work at Epic Waters is about more than day-to-day management—it's about contributing to a vibrant tourism economy and enriching the community.

"Epic Waters is a core part of a much bigger story," he said. "We're proud to help spotlight Grand Prairie as one of the most dynamic and guest-friendly destinations in Texas."
