So watched Jerry and Linda yesterday and they had a question on a beach coming to the Villages. The question mentioned one of those Lagoon type development companies. I could swear I heard a similar rumor a few years ago.

Anyhow Jerry and Linda's answer was that they called and indeed a beach is coming to the Eastport area. I could only imagine any "beach" would be in a lagoon type pool. I would doubt a beach on the new dragon boat lake because of gators.

So what do you all think?

Assume you want to know "So what do you all think?" about something specific, not jus random thoughts.

Crystal Lagoons
Crystal Lagoons, in partnership with development group ADËLON Capital, has plans to bring five of these synthetic lagoon resorts to Central Florida. One will be in Sumter County near The Villages and the other will be in Lake County, though its location has not yet been disclosed.

Thank you. I couldn’t recall the name.

PS. Probably use the ground of the The Villages derelict Costco site!

Really? Why post a reply at all? Okay I’ll assume you really don’t know.

So what do you all think about the possibility of a lagoon/beach coming to the villages? Have you heard any rumors or news? Do you like the idea? Any other thoughts on the subject?

See dewilson, that’s how Internet forums work. Someone posts a topic and sometimes it’s a specific question and other times it’s an open ended discussion, such as my post. Unfortunately sometimes trolls post ridiculous comments/criticisms and that can make a fun subject turn into crap. So thanks.

Personally, I cannot imagine anything worse than a Beach Lagoon set up in TV. There will be so many people trying to use that facility it will turn into a major complaint ............. and that is just what we need in TV, something else to complain about!

Based on Jerry and Linda’s answer I wonder if they are partnering with the Villages. Although I would think the developer wouldn’t need a partner.

Trolls .... D.Wilson has been on this site for years and is certainly not a troll. The regular TOTV users can just read a post and know who wrote it. You would do well to just hang around and get the feel for the various posters before calling them out.

After reading the post, I watched Jerry and Linda. By calling a Villages sales rep, they confirmed a beach style lagoon is coming to the Villages area. Jerry said in the Eastport area. Linda quickly chimed in and said that it would be nice for the kids. Whether Eastport or Middleton, a sandy lagoon is coming to this area.

Congratulations. You're officially the first to lodge a complaint about a facility that doesn't yet exist.

Doesn’t matter who posts a troll post. I’ve been around forums long enough to know a troll post. It’s a discussion forum and he must know that if he’s been around a while. Unless I’m wrong and this forum only allows specific questions and answers.

Darling.............your question was wide open.

Did you hear rumors?
Is it coming?
Who will own it?
Will there be a cost?
Will you use it??
Who do I call for facts, not opinions?
Where will it be located??
Will it be year-round??
Villagers only, Villagers & Guests, Public use??
What will the capacity limit be??
Food & Drink??
Will it survive financially??
Will amenity fees pay for it??

To name a few.

There is a lot to think about.

Yes it was wide open. See, you just managed to come up with lots to talk about without requiring I make a specific question. Thanks. Good grief this forum is full of negative posts. I’m done. Sorry for starting a thread. Darling.
