DBru Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I think the colors are cool. The variety will definitely stand out, and help to attract business. Which slide is planned to be the largest/most thrilling for the opening season? The purple one?
BeemerBoy Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^ I always dig a green and orange combo. Oh, and that pic is kind of freaky when you scroll past it.
triggernel Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I love the color, way better than just some plain old white slides! Good Luck with your Project!

thrillerman1 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Shane I love the slide colors. Starburst should reimburse you for all the extra candy sales they will now have in Utah. Oh and I think they match your Amusement Attic logo ensemble perfectly. Great job on the choices!
linearinduction Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Shane I love the slide colors. Starburst should reimburse you for all the extra candy sales they will now have in Utah. Oh and I think they match your Amusement Attic logo ensemble perfectly. Great job on the choices!^ I think Skittles would be a better Choice. Shane, all of those different colors will really make the place "POP!" I can't imagine any kid, young or old, not being attracted to Cowabunga Bay because of all the color. I do have to say that my favorite color combo slide will be the Red, Orange, Yellow, Black, and White ones. - Sid
montezooma Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Those are my two favorites too, those slides are also the custom slides that are unique to our project. All the other slides are the same as on the Hersheypark model. The magenta slide will be the longest and as I recall from the one at Hersheypark (theirs is purple) it is pretty fast, dark and intense.
montezooma Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 So this came across my desk today for approval and I just had to laugh. I am not sure if they tried to sneak this by or if Canadians don't know what a Woody is. Needless to say, for the Utah market we will have to change the wording on this sign. How about "ride the Woody"?
linearinduction Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 "Ride The Woody" Sounds GREAT to me Shane! - Sid
linearinduction Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Shane sent me some new Exclusive Photos from the Cowabunga Bay Construction Site Today. I posted the Photos and Shane's Notes on the Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog. *Sorry for the Double Post*
Gav Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Another question to add to the list...SCS Interactive and Proslide in partnership do water play structures (Including what was once the worlds largest) too...were they considered in the design stage, and if so, what made Whitewater West's offering the better choice?

I had plans to ask Shane that very Question Tomorrow. I suspect it may be that White Water West's In House Design Department may have been the reason he went with White Water. - Sid
linearinduction Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Today, Shane was nice enough to give me a Construction Tour of Cowabunga Bay and ask a bunch of Questions.

megamatt Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Wow. This is beyond words. i just cant belive that you are opening a water park! One question, Why saltwater? Why not chlorinated freshwater?
montezooma Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Here is a quick photo update on the construction. All the waterslides have been assembled in small sections and steel assembly has begun on the structure. Vertical construction will begin next week. Most of the site work has been underground and in the past couple of days over 3 miles of pipe have been laid. Footers have been dug, rebar placed and they will begin pouring this afternoon. Lazy River and buildings begin next week. Cowabunga Dude! footer rebar sexy Steel assembly has begun on the main bucket tower shut down lanes slides assembled and awaiting in the parking lot this will be where all the pumps and filtration systems go Miles and miles of underground pipe are ready to be buried
monkeyoverlord71 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Please say you tried that yellow slide out, it would be so fun.
Hercules Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Shane - This is actually the first time that I opened this thread. Congratulations man! This looks amazing! I'll be in Utah on business this summer. I will definitely have to stop by and give this thing a shot!
themeparkman25 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Looks great! Very excited to see this park take shape! And you weren't kidding about the miles and miles of pipes.
linearinduction Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Gee Shane, Thanks for the Heads Up on the whole Steel Assembly Thing! I posted an Update Today, with Photos from Shane and some I took last Saturday, on the Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog. Click HERE to Visit the Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog. I'm hoping Shane will let me know when the Structure goes Vertical, cause I'd Love to be there! - Sid
the ghost Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I love the colors. That looks awesome so far Shane!
Big Mike Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I can't wait to see the finished product, and especially Shane when The Big Mike Road Show 2009 makes a special visit later in the year!!! Peace, Big Mike
thrillerman1 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 This reminds me of playing the board game Mousetrap and putting all the pieces together. I love it!
triggernel Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I like how in the last picture the pipe is painted to look like a palm tree. THis is looking awesome.
