Yeah, it looks like they got a lot done this week so far. More slide parts it looks like, more digging, etc..
Just an FYI, those green things that look like slide pieces have been there for over a week. Only ground work has sped up and that is to be expected.
But it is great to see that the racing mat slide area is starting to be constructed.(That is the area that appears to be next for major groundwork.)
Yeppers.. i have been seeing it for a while...[/img]
Yep I noticed that but didnt feel like posting.

I'm only assuming, but those greenish tubes in the picture, probably arn't
the tubes for the slides. I would first think that those are tubes that will go under ground for plumming purposes. For transfering water and so forth. I would expect the actual tubes for the actual slides, to come in until March, but I'm only guessing.

I could be wrong, but I believe those green tubes have been there for a couple weeks now. I remember seeing some tubing laying over there a while ago, but I figured it was for plumbing of some kind.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
I see green tubes and theres alot of snow out there and they are speeding up!

Hej I think Jamesb58 is right. It's too early to have slides! They are the plumbing tubes!!! Ohh well, but it's good to see something happening!!!
 I think slides will be in March!
Thanks for your support man! I would think that they would build the platforms first, before bringing any of the actual slide tubes. I would guess that we'll probably see the platforms being built, in late January or Early February, then the actual slides being put together in Early March. Then they'll probably finish building the different buildings in Late March or early April, then they will finish with the actual laying down of the walk ways in April. I'm no construction worker, but that is what I would do! I can't wait to see the vertical construction begin.

In building a water park 80% of the actual work is below the surface... drains, recirculating of water, pumps, etc.
So we probably won't see any slides until Feb of next year... 
It looks like there is some new work getting done in the lower right corner of the compound.
Looks like a hole was excavated and a foundation and concrete castings are in place. Plus there looks to be a lot of Blue Ibars for some sort of structure. After looking at the park map it looks like it will hold the south waterslide complex or the racing slides. Also under Bull's overbanked turn they are pouring foundations as well. It also looks like they are laying a lot of pipes along the Y trench/road through the parking lot. Muddy too, those guys must be hating all that mud. Well, I guess it's better than frozen ground.
I agree, they probably won't bring in the slides until they have all of the plumbing in, but i saw a yellow slide in one of the pictures, and it looked like a waterslide. I think they'll have it ready to be put in place and then finish all of the towers and stuff.
Yep, the pictures you saw were of the first waterslide pieces.(Hence the title 'waterslides' under the pictures.)
