IStillPlayRCT2 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 It looks wild. Did they say what the projected opening date for the ride will be? They are saying towards the end of May/the beginning of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiestud15 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Very excited!! As a resident of South Louisiana and Blue Bayou being only an hour away, I'm really glad they are adding slides that will put them on the map and get more people to the park. Very glad to see this place grow. Been following their Facebook page since they announced the new addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the first thing people see when they pass the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Dude, this is my home park! I need to get out there soon because I haven't been to BB/DL in a few years. I'm still waiting for them to build that campground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IStillPlayRCT2 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 More updates. Nice view from the front. They've been doing ground work as you can see. Aerial shot of AquaLoops and construction site. They've also started building the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I wish Blue Bayou would invest in some shade structures or something. All of these water slides are fantastic, but it's not fun walking around a blistering hot water park without any shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nice, it will be interesting to see if they keep investing in the rest of the park. When the slides open it will give them a nice bump in attendance but there will have to be more then the slides if they want people to come back.

IStillPlayRCT2 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 @gisco, they've been investing in the park a lot over the past six years in both the water park and the amusement park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IStillPlayRCT2 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Another update. They stated on their Facebook page that it will probably be finished in two weeks if mother nature cooperates. Slides are almost finished, stairs are built, and all loops are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Lookin' good, if I do say so myself. That's sure to be a hit within the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IStillPlayRCT2 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Lookin' good, if I do say so myself. That's sure to be a hit within the park. I'd say. They look to be like they would be pretty good with lines too, as there are four slides. They are saying one and half to two weeks until they open.

LaneVids Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Anyone know when this is supposed to open? I tried calling them in late June, and they couldn't tell me anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Holy crap that looks nuts! It's simply amazing that a waterside can go that much up hill. My local water park, Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville, opened what they call an aqualoop this year but the loop is pretty much completely flat. In comparison this thing is something else entirely.

Midgetman82 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ^You can thank Aquarena for building it, and WhiteWater for spreading it. The one you talk about might be ProSlide, though WhiteWater started their own line of flat-loop slides as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local water park, Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville, opened what they call an aqualoop this year but the loop is pretty much completely flat. In comparison this thing is something else entirely. The ProSlide SuperLoops are flat. But there's enough force throughout the spiral to make it feel like an inversion. It is technically a loop, albeit a horizontal one.

Tobit Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's getting pretty near the end of the season (just over 2 weeks left!) and it's still not open. I called them and asked about it today, and apparently it was delayed by the weather last week. She said it should be open in a few days. I asked if it would be open before the end of the season, and she said definitely. But I'm not really too confident, since it's already been delayed so much.

Moose Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 When does school go back in the area? I was skeptical about your claim that their season was almost finished so I checked their calendar and low and behold the parks stops daily operation on August 7th. That seems really early for a water park in such a warm climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiestud15 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Schools start on August 10 for public schools and August 20 fro college's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 ^Thanks for that information. That makes much more sense. Schools up here in the northeast usually start last week of August or first week of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
