Orlando World Center Marriott is a hotel located in Orlando, Florida, USA.

History

The hotel opened on May 15, 1986, with one water slide.[1][2]

In 2012, a renovation began on the hotel, which included 4 new water slides from SplashTacular being added to the Falls Pool.[2][3][4] The slides would open in mid-2013.[2][5]

Planning was started for a second slide tower and a lazy river in 2021, which was later revealed River Falls, with 3 slides by WhiteWater West.[6][7] River Falls opened on March 16, 2022.[8]
