_koppen Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That looks awesome! Will you have rock work around the whole river, or will it be in specific places like the lagoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 An awesome update came today on the Facebook page! Love the color of this one! Looks like it will be a pretty big lazy river entrance outside of the wave pool Looks like they are going for some heavy theme on it. Really like the look of this Waterslide tower that isn't steel colored! Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ^Looks like it's unpainted bare steel to me. Most of those grey support structures are galvanized grey paint to protect the steel from the elements and corrosion. But, I may be wrong in this case, and I welcome the idea of painting the structures with a color other than metallic grey. I'm curious, and maybe Shane can answer this, with the fairly harsh sun in Vegas, how often will the slides need to be repainted? I assume they would fade at a much higher pace than other parts of the world. Anyone else work at a water park in a dry, sunny region like Vegas and know?

805Andrew Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks like the water park is coming along nicely. How many months per year does Cowabunga Bay plan to be open? On the note of water parks being open late, a couple of years ago I went to the Island Water Park in Fresno which was open until 9PM on that Saturday that I visited. We had family business to do in that area until 3PM, and the Island Water Park had an after 3PM ticket that was very reasonably priced, so it worked out perfect for us as 5.5 hours was plenty of time for us there. It was still reasonably warm when we left there at 9PM, and since the water park was by the 99 Fwy noise was not issue. I feel having a water park open to 7PM or later on a hot summer day (especially on a weekend) is reasonable, and until 6PM on a slower weekday or early/late season when the temps are milder is reasonable. After the first year or two, Cowabunga Bay may want to consider being open later (like 9PM) on longer summer days with a afternoon ticket option (after 2-4PM), if it's feasible for the business. I understand them not doing this the first year as there are so many other things/ factors to focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Wow, the work on the Lazy River looks excellent! I can only imagine how it'll look once it's finished and painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We got these great overhead shots of the park. You can really see things starting to come together. We started hiring our opening crew this week and have had some great applicants. I am getting really excited for opening day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Absolutely fantastic update! Cannot wait for this summer! And totally loving all of the local news coverage of the park! A piece is about to come on Fox 5 news at 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Wow!!! Awesome update! Thanks for all the pics. So one question I do have is on the Lazy river. Is that some type of lagoon or wading pool on the inside (bottom right) of the Lazy River?? *edit* Just kidding...I found the renderings. Very nice!

Jew Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The aerial views are really cool! Can't wait until the park opens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 What an awesome set of photos! Can't wait to see similar photos when the place is done! I noticed that the wave pool is slightly different on both sides, one edge is sharp, while the other is not, is there a reason for that that will make the waves better?

montezooma Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I noticed that the wave pool is slightly different on both sides, one edge is sharp, while the other is not, is there a reason for that that will make the waves better? Ha Ha, so funny that you would notice this. It bugs me every time I look at the wave pool. This was a simple mistake made on the plans. it was supposed to be corrected but somehow got built the wrong way. Please don’t bring it up again and let’s pretend it’s there to make the waves bigger and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an actual Polin wave machine, or is it a wave specific company who makes it, like Murphy's or American Wave Machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Turbo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This is looking great. Will definitely have to check out the park when it opens, but what the park really needs are some dueling nautic-jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Are Dippin Dots still the ice cream of the future after 20 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Are Dippin Dots still the ice cream of the future after 20 years? Yes, if you buy tomorrows Dippin' Dots today. Then they retain the ice cream of the future monikker. However, if you buy tomorrows Dippin' Dots tomorrow, then they instantly become the ice cream of the present. Furthermore, if you buy tomorrows Dippin' Dots 2 days from now, they become the ice cream of the past. Todays Dippin Dots are yesterdays past, and tomorrows future, while still remaining the ice cream of the present. But tomorrows Dippin' Dots will be todays past and the following days future. And two days from now when purchased today becomes future ice cream regardless of tomorrows outcome while making this days Dippin' Dots a puddle of colored milk cream substance. So... ...in answer to your question. Yes. And no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
