There is a solution to every problem that seems a problem. Otherwise, if there is no solution deemed necessary they won't do a thing about it. It's just the way it is.

I'm lost.

Plant weirdos are working their way up my list - nearing model train enthusiasts and social media gurus.

Not 100% confirmed, but scuttlebutt around Turkey Lake Road says the new mystery slide will use "warm" water and lighting to simulate a lava flow. Cute concept, tho very much still a "water park" ride not a "theme park" ride.

Hot water at a water park sounds like a terrible idea in the summer.

Warm water? Better put a restroom at the entrance and make everybody pee before they ride.

How do they make the water yellow and look like lava?

Guess. ... Don't eat the yellow snow.

Sheesh, I hope not, your data is your own business!

It's all good. I just wish that CF could plant and grow Royal Palms like those seen in Ft Lauderdale and Miami. I believe that AK has at least one in the Oasis but it is so protected that it isn't threatened by a hard freeze.

Latest pictures I could find:






One thing I do like is how high all of these slides appear to be starting.

Thing I hate about that is the amount of stairs to climb...and I hate heights too so the climb is grueling.

Posting from the DVC Beach Bash at Typhoon Lagoon, open until 12:30. It always amazes me that people seem surprised every time nighttime lighting is confirmed for VB when Typhoon is a park that opened in 1989 and can handle it.

I am ok with stairs, it is when they make you carry the raft up those stairs. Especially with small children because then you are carrying theirs too.

A lot of the newer slides, even in a smaller waterpark in NY, have a raft conveyer belt system so you no longer have to drag a raft up five flights of stairs. So I assume VB will definitely utilize this as they're a new park who would assumably spare no expense on that.

I heard that this will be the finale, not the whole ride. The prior portions will include brief show scenes that will use (wait for it) screenz, sets and lightning. Still pretty cool.

Great. I'm gonna get electrocuted.
