Thanks for the pics.

The theming and landscaping looks great, I like that atmosperic rock and those signs. Whats with those weird lamp posts?

The other slides, restarurants and shops also seem to be coming around.

Yeah, the park was nice enough to provide heaters because they knew they would be useful. :wink:

But obviously those are portable and will be gone during FF (unless they're nice and bring them back)

During FF?

If you meant Fright Fest, the waterpark is closed by then.

Here's a ranking of the 4 tube slides I rode, I didn't do any of the body slides since I was trying to stay as dry as I could because the water was freezing.

1. The Green and Blue bowl slide, seemed faster then the purple/pink bowl slide. You got to do these in a double tube to get the best speed.

2. The yellow slide, very fun high speed turns with 3 waterfalls.

3. The purple bowl slide felt a little slower, still alot of fun though.

4. The teal slide, pretty short with 4 waterfalls. You probably get the wettest on this slide, so it's at the bottom of my list today since the water was so cold on wednesday.

They turned on the heaters about mid-day during media day and said that the water should be warm by Opening Day. They want to try and keep the temperature about 78 degrees or so.
Go Bulls!
