Long story short, we're reading "The Most Dangerous Game" in Lit class... if you've read the story, then yeah. If not, too bad for you

 

Anyways, this park is not supposed to be based off of Shiptrap Island, the park is just named after it. I went with my family yesterday and might I say, it's a pretty cool park. I apologize for the photo quality.

See what I mean? We'll be back in a few weeks. Rumor has it that they're re-building the entrance, a new waterslide, and something called a cliff diver... I'll keep you guys posted.

Right when hundreds of people came pouring in, we snapped a shot of "Tidal Wave" an S&S double shot.

I heard that the waterpark's designer was inspired by Disney's Polynesian resort volcano slide. All of the slides twist and turn through the fiberglass mountain.

A few hours before the park had its grand opening, we got a VIP tour!

*UPDATE*

 

We visited the park again, and luckily it wasn't too crowded. I got a chance to ride on all of the rides and sneek a peak at all of the new construction and things! Shiptrap Island is really starting to shape up. When I first came, it seemed like they just stuck a tropical themed waterpark in the middle of nowhere. However, as construction goes on, all of the little details are starting to make a big impression.

And to finish it off, a photo of The Edge at night... it's pretty cool flying through caves when it's pitch black out.

It basically drops about 40 feet and does a CRAZY airtime ramp at the end... you fly off of the slide before the slide actually ends.

Then, we went on "The Edge" or whatever it's called...

That is a VERY intense slide. Although it only does three turns, the final turn almost flips you all the way around the tube!

We're gonna ride the rock slide!

Attendence starting rocketing up by about 11:00.

The waterpark is nice and empty in the morning... well, that makes sense since it was FREEZING!
