montezooma Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 The water was on just for me to take some pictures, it doesn't run at night. Yes Big Mike, I will be here...I am always here. Let me know when you will be coming by and I'll get you set up!

packfanlv Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I plan to meet Big Mike at Cowabunga Bay as well. I can't wait to see it!! I have been following this thread from the beginning and feel like I watched it being built! The structure really does look awesome at night. I know my son is going to love it!

TheRapidsNerd Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Wow! That looks terrific at night and just as impressive as daytime. Already saving the pennies for Cowabunga Bay lanyards, magnets, buttons, zipper pulls, etc. Absolutely thrilled for you and glad things are picking up!

I might even take off my shirt when in the park as long as Big Mike doesn't subject the BMRS readers to a picture of it.
montezooma Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Bad news for TPR members: I know this is not as devastating as the Big Bad Wolf being removed, but I can offically report that VAULT is our lowest selling beverage. Bad News for VAULT
Team Thriller Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Purple Drank. Replace it with some Purple Drank! --James "Grape soda rocks" Flint Yay!
andre8 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Take that Vault drink out, then add Red Bull stations everywhere.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Replace it with Beverly! LOL, I don't think he wants to kill people! Thats very dissapointing Shane, I cant believe that! lol
SharkTums Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 You just need Robb to visit the park for ONE day!!! I mean, the amount of Vault I witnessed him purchase at Dollywood must keep it on the fountain for years to come!
robbalvey Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Bad news for TPR members: I know this is not as devastating as the Big Bad Wolf being removed, but I can offically report that VAULT is our lowest selling beverage. I can totally believe it. *sigh* People just don't know what a good drink is and they are all wooed over by Red Bull's insane marketing. Coke has pretty much let Vault flounder for the past 2 years. --Robb "I have respect for you guys for actually trying it!" Alvey
monkeyoverlord71 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Even more than Coke Zero? I hate that stuff. I would love to go somewhere even half as awesome as Cowabunga Bay! If only we had the weather in Scotland for it. I did the one at Alton Towers and it was sweet but was tiny compared to Cowabunga Bay. I wish you success for many years to come!
robbalvey Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Shane - I have a question for you - I noticed on the website you sell a 4 hour pass. How do you guys monitor this? And do people opt for this or do they just go for the all day pass that is only $6 more? --Robb
themeparkman25 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 If I may answer, it is different colored wrist bands. White is the all day pass and then the different colored bands correspond to different times. The park PA announces when a wrist band becomes void. Sorry for stealing anyones thunder.
TPDave Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 ^ Yeah, here's Shane's post, which has a bonus picture!! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=734204#734204
montezooma Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Actually we are in UTAH and everyone here is honest and God fearing so they keep track of the time themselves... No just kidding, TPRDave is right, it is done with different colored wrist bands that expire at the top of every hour. I make an announcement saying "red wrist bands your time is up" It actually works quite well. It keeps the park constantly turning over which eliminates big crowds and opens up seating for those that come into the park later on in the day.
Big Mike Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 One more week until The Big Mike Road Show visit to Cowabunga Bay!!!! Wooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!!!! Do you have any gold colored wristbands to match The Official Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt???? Peace, Big Mike
packfanlv Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Shane I just wanted to thank you again for rolling out the red carpet for our visit with Big Mike the other day. Shawn Reece really enjoyed the tour and he's still talking about the massive ice cream cone and sunburn you made for us!! For anyone who is considering visiting this park, do it!!! I had been watching the pictures since the beginning, but they do not do this place justice. The water play structure is cleverly laid out and the whole place is a ton of fun. Add to that the wonderful atmosphere, friendly employees, beautiful colors and the fact that the park is immaculate and the entire experience is worthwhile. I can't express enough appreciation for how well we were treated!
montezooma Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 WOW! What a compliment. Thanks! Well I always enjoy visits from TPR-ers. I know they really enjoy great park expereiences and that is what I try to give every guest that visits the park (even though the typical guest doesn't get the underground tour) Thanks again!!! Great to hear good feedback!
The Disneylander Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 ^ Considering you let them in for free, what else can you expect? I kid, Shane...I definitely would've been there if I could!
