Since the announcement of its opening back in 2021, there haven't been many updates on the upcoming Therme Scotland.
But the company confirmed the build was still going ahead in a recent Instagram update.
On social media it created a post about Therme's new destinations across the globe which included Manchester and Glasgow.
The new attraction is planned to open in central Glasgow next to the Riverside Museum at a cost of £100million.
The site will have a "next-generation indoor waterpark" with 35 water slides, 25 pools which are both indoor and outdoor, and a wave pool.
There will be more relaxing areas too like thermal spas, wellbeing garden, sauna, steam room and exotic relaxation areas.
The initial plans in 2021 also included a bridge being built across the River Kelvin.
This would link the Riverside Museum to Therme Scotland and expanding access to the Glasgow waterfront.
At the time of its announcement in 2021, Therme Group CEO Stelian Iacob said: "Therme Scotland will create a fun and accessible experience with profound health and wellbeing benefits for all.
"We look forward to engaging with the Glasgow community as we progress with the design and development of Therme Scotland.'

Therme Manchester was initially announced in March 2020 with an initial opening in 2024 - however it is still in the works.
The attraction bosses have said the first major construction phase will start later in 2025.
The huge complex was predicted to take between 24 and 30 months to build, so it could mean that it's might not be open until 2028.
Costs have risen too, initially the build was set to be £250million, this has since jumped to £400million.
When the Manchester site does open, it will have a waterpark with 25 swimming pools, 35 water slides and even an indoor beach.
And it will be 33C all-year round so visitors can enjoy it whatever the weather.
Therme Spa is known for its affordability, at the site in Bucharest, one day entry tickets cost from €36 (£31.28).
One woman even flew herself and her mum out to the Therme Spa in Romania because it was cheaper than a spa day trip in the UK.
Flights and spa passes for the pair set them back £315 - rather than the £400 at the spa in their neighbourhood.
For anyone who can't get enough of spas, take a look inside the new spa woodland pods in the UK that make you feel like you're abroad.

Ryanair sets monthly passenger record despite air traffic control strikes
The Dublin-based carrier announced 20.7 million passengers travelled on its flights in July. That is up 3% from 20.2 million during the same month last year. Its load factor – which represents the average proportion of seat filled on its aircraft – was stable at 96%. Ryanair said it operated more than 113,000 flights in July and cancelled 680, mainly because of French controller strikes. French ATC staff took industrial action on July 3 and 4 in a dispute over working conditions. As well as disrupting flights to and from French airports, the walkouts affected flights scheduled to travel over French airspace. This meant many services to or from UK airports were delayed or cancelled. EasyJet chief executive Kenton Jarvis previously described the French strikes as 'very, very disruptive' as they forced the airline to cancel 660 flights and cost it £15 million. Around 70% of easyJet's flights either fly to or from a French airport, or over the country's airspace. European air traffic management body Eurocontrol estimated the strikes affected more than one million passengers. Meanwhile, a radar fault suffered by UK ATC provider Nats led to more than 100 UK flights being cancelled on July 30.

Manchester United fans announce opening day protest and say ‘Jim Can't Fix This'
The 1958 have organised numerous demonstrations in recent years calling for a change in ownership and will march to Old Trafford on August 17, with new banners being produced reading 'Jim Can't Fix This'. Ratcliffe owns a 28.94 per cent stake in United and has overseen wide, often unpopular, changes since taking over day-to-day operational control from the Glazers in February 2024. Avram Glazer and Sir Jim Ratcliffe speak to Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada at the Europa League final (Andrew Milligan/PA) A spokesman for The 1958 said: 'It's a new season but the same old ownership issues. Twenty years of the Glazers and their debt mountain is 20 years too long. Enough is enough. 'We won't allow some natural optimism and a couple of shiny new signings to deflect from the bigger off-field picture. 'Jim Ratcliffe chose to get into bed with the Glazers and in our opinion is helping keep them in charge. 'So on 17th August, we protest not just against the Glazers, but now also against Jim Ratcliffe – a man once seen by many, including ourselves, as a possible saviour, a beacon of hope but now revealed as complicit in the ongoing erosion of everything that makes our club what it is. 'This is no longer just about ownership; this is about survival – the survival of our identity, our community, and our values.' The 1958 spokesman said the protest is for 'every fan who has been silenced, evicted, priced out and disregarded', adding 'this is about the future of football'. The group representative added: 'Jim Ratcliffe, you have chosen your side and it is not ours. You now stand shoulder to shoulder with the Glazers. The mask has slipped. You are no saviour. You're like a (red) devil in disguise.' Ratcliffe suggested in March that he would walk away from United if he ever suffered abuse on the level of that directed at the Glazer family. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been hands-on since being Manchester United co-owner (Lucy North/PA) 'It can be unpleasant,' Ratcliffe said in the Times. 'And I've probably failed on the having fun front. 'I can put up with it for a while. I don't mind being unpopular because I get that nobody likes seeing Manchester United down where they are, and nobody likes the decisions we're having to make. 'Eventually, if it reached the extent that the Glazer family have been abused, then I'd have to say, 'look, that's enough guys, let somebody else do this'.' United finished 15th in the Premier League last season – their lowest top-flight finish since 1974 – and missed out on European qualification after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham.

Holidaymakers urged to be ‘vigilant' as European police crack down on speeding
The AA issued the advice as forces are carrying out more speed checks this week. The initiative, co-ordinated by traffic police network Roadpol, coincides with the main UK school holiday, which is one of the busiest periods of the year for families driving on the continent. Some forces are focusing their extra speed checks at accident blackspots and in high-risk areas such as near schools and hospitals. Roadpol has not revealed which countries are taking part in the crackdown, but more than 20 European countries participated in a similar operation in April. Edmund King, AA president, said: 'UK drivers taking their cars to Europe this summer need to be extra vigilant and stick to the speed limits. 'Getting caught speeding abroad can be costly and in more extreme cases can mean suspension of your driving licence. 'Some drivers get into holiday mode as soon as they cross the Channel. They relax and sometimes this means not following the speed limits. 'We advise drivers to always stick to the limits but note that European police will be out in force this week targeting speeding drivers.' Department for Transport figures show a driver exceeding the speed limit was a contributory factor in 21% of fatal crashes on Britain's roads in 2023.
