Yeah, it won't be like Everest where you see a flat wall behind it in the parking lot. This is the centerpiece of the park so you'll see it from all sides.
You only see the back of E:E on the way in, not in the lot. And Pandora makes you not even notice Everest now, tbh.Yeah, it won't be like Everest where you see a flat wall behind it in the parking lot. This is the centerpiece of the park so you'll see it from all sides.

Do any of the water parks use large UV filters to kill any and everything? I would think that Seaworld uses them, at least with the reef fish as that is common in salt water aquariums.
Today Show just did a piece on the water at many US water parks testing for horrid bacteria. The only one that didn't had off-the-charts chlorine that maxed at ten on the test kit. 10 is far too high and should preferably be 3.

Could change it to salt water instead of chlorine then use UV and treatment facility to recycle the water.
The interesting part is I have never seen a salt water pool with a slide. Marriott I believe has converted all their pools over to salt water. At least every place I have gone to has completed the conversion. But the one pool that is not converted in the one resort we go to is the pool with the slide. I am wondering if the salt would wear out a slide quicker and that is why they did not convert that one pool. It is always the coldest pool too even though it is heated lol
You're right, but it only works from a large to medium distance away.It's supposed to be a Tibetan Monastery I seem to remember. To try and force perspective Everest to be bigger.
It's a common misconception that a saltwater pool doesn't use chlorine. All a salt system does is convert salt water (NaCl) to chlorine (NaClO) and hydrogen gas using a electrolysis. when the chlorine is used (oxidizes undesired contaminants) it breaks back down to saltwater. Cost wise it is basically the same as using liquid or powdered chlorine as the electrolysis cell has to be replaced every 3 to 5 years and cost about the same as 3 to 5 years of chlorine product. Also the salt levels required to run a salt water pool are very low compare to sea water (3,000 ppm to 30,000 ppm) so they are not supposed to be very corrosive. All commercial pools are required to use chlorine as an oxidizer and have to have a monitoring system, usually an ORP meter and feeder, that will dispense chlorine as it is depleted from the water. Most water parks use chlorine gas to disinfect the water I believe its more cost effective. I would much rather swim in a commercial pool with a chlorine level of 10ppm than with none as the amount of bacteria and parasites in the water with a lot of bathers would scare anyone. UV is a great way to kill things too especially microorganisms that chlorine can take longer to kill. Look up Cryptosporidium and you'll be very wary of any public pool. Don't get me started on spas you're basically bathing in everyone's sweat among other things. Always bring test strips to make sure the water is safe.
Yes, I am well aware of how salt water pools work as we are looking to build one in the future. When you say all pools are required to use Chlorine, you do not mean all commercial pools cannot use SWGs, because they can. At least in Florida and South Carolina they can. I have been in many commercial pools that use SWG vs. a Chlorine feeder system. I have also talked to pool guys about converting community pools to SWG pools. While they both produce Chlorine. The direct chlorine method is much more harsh on the skin and eyes. My daughter can tell within 2 minutes of swimming which kind of pool it is.
I have heard stories of how salt water pools cause issue with deck furniture and since I have never seen a salt water pool with water slides, I was just assuming it had something to do with the added salt causing issues. I obviously don't know this for fact though.
I think the pool at Cabana Bay is saltwater and has a slide.

There you go, I have no clue why they don't use saltwater for water parks. I personally wish all pools were salt water. They are so much nicer to swim in if maintained properly.

Salt water pools are a relatively recent development, no? And I would guess that it's not as simple as draining the chlorine water and filling it with saltwater? Probably a pretty penny to convert whatever equipment the slides and such use
