SharkTums Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 ^Sad but nice at the same time, as I'm sure you're ready for some days off! So what do you have to do to get the park 'ready' for the cold snowy off season?
triggernel Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 ^^I like that picture. Kind of a nifty idea for the end of the season. Hopefully we can see some new shots of the park from this year?
Fran1962 Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Hope you had a GREAT first season and can't wait to see you again in Munich!!!!
montezooma Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Well it is IAAPA time and the World WaterPark magazine has put out a special Convention edition and I am pleased as punch that they featured Cowabunga Bay. Here is an interesting story about how the park came to be. Hurry and turn to page 136! Edited December 24, 2010 by ernierocker
ernierocker Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 What a great article for your park! Congrats on all of your success! Oh yeah, love the "wet willy" story.
larrygator Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I had no clue that the idea phase to creation occured so quickly for you Shane. Then again your decades in the industry gave you move insight than those of us sitting on the sidelines.
linearinduction Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Sage did an AWESOME Job with that article! I'm glad everyone else get's to read about everything you guys went through to get Cowabunga Built! We should make this article Mandatory Reading for all New Hires.
Geauga Dog Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 That's a great article, Shane. Congrats on the success of Cowabunga Bay. I'm surprised at how fast it went from concept to reality.
thrillerman1 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 It's really interesting to read about how the park developed, Shane. Mondo congrats on your success!
Nrthwnd Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Wow, great article and CONGRATS for the coverage, My Former Roomie, LOL! Continued success and good stuff all 'round for you and the park, Shane.
Jay20016 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 The really funny thing is that just yesterday I found that on my desk at work and I flipped through and saw something very familiar. Was a great article and I wish you the best of success. /starts vicious rumors for 2011 season So, uh.... when is the Aqua Loop going to be installed?
imawesome1124 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 That was a very nice article, it was nice to read about how this whole thing developed. Best of luck to you in the future.
montezooma Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 MERRY CHRISTMAS from COWABUNGA BAY 2010
imawesome1124 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 That's a real nice Christmas card. Merry Christmas, Shane.
Booligan Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 As a SLC local, I love driving by the Bay every day on my way to work. This summer, my girls will be old enough to really enjoy the park, so we're definitely going to have to make a visit.
DenDen Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 So happy for your success, and for much more to come!!!!!
Twister II Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Very cool article. What type of chlorine/filters do you use? At my old waterpark we used highrate sand filters with a series of UV lamps. We also used Sodium Di-Chlor.
montezooma Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 Very cool article. What type of chlorine/filters do you use? At my old waterpark we used highrate sand filters with a series of UV lamps. We also used Sodium Di-Chlor. That is exactly what we use. 3 large highrate sand filters and a UV lamp on each water system. Each system has a 25 minute turnover rate.
montezooma Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Sunny Days are the best for water parks but there is a certain beauty when they are covered in a Winter Wonderland. We got lamblasted with a winter storm yesterday but the sun was out today and made for some beautiful pictures.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I want to ride down some of those slides in an sled! Haha. Amazing pictures Shane!
imawesome1124 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 How's this season treating you so far Shane? I'm sure we would all like an update. BTW those winter pictures are awesome.
WildWest Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I went to this park yesterday for the first time and then came home curious to learn more about it. I'm also a business owner in Draper so I was looking for a little more information on the history and owners of the park. A little googling led me to this awesome thread (and about an hour of wasted time going through all of it!) We took our 2 1/2 year old son and were just so amazed with the place. I didn't think there would be much for a 2 1/2 year old to do at a water park but he pretty much had the time of his life, possibly literally. We went in the evening and the shade combined with a nice breeze left it a little chilly - he was shaking from cold at one point but we still couldn't tear him off of the rain fortress! He walked around all day today saying "Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay". Great work Shane!
Rollercoaster Rider Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I Wonder if We Could See Some Speed Slides or Bowl Slide for the Park
