I always look for a group of teens- but certainly wouldn't shy away from anyone under 50. And I always pick a guy- right in the back of the neck. I don't think anyone has seen me yet
Now I know who got me in the back of the neck.I always look for a group of teens- but certainly wouldn't shy away from anyone under 50. And I always pick a guy- right in the back of the neck. I don't think anyone has seen me yet
Seen a couple mention here recently about the water that sprays out the centre of the bowl areas on the large yellow family raft slide (orange in promo video) - Slightly disappointing to notice that there does not appear to even be an outlet in the centre of those areas for water to spray out like shown in the video, I don't get the point for the big bowl area in general as its not like the rafts even use the area? Can someone help me out understanding the design because I can't figure it out...? Photos below for reference, a bit of glare on the yellow slides from latest aerials but I know from other photos there is no opening or spout in the centre of those flat areas.
Quiet week this week for construction updates:
Only update I could really find today, guess WildGravity will be uploading a full construction update shortly if they have grabbed this photo recently:

Not sure on the water effect but as far as the open saucers I don't think they really serve any real purpose besides being an open visual element, what it is achieving physically could be done with or without that open section IMO. A new twist/element for Proslides to market.
I got an email from Proslide asking if I'd be interested in posting that video on my site... I figure it's pertaining to VB given the wording they used.
They said the video is a “teaser trailer” of sorts, leading to the upcoming opening of a new theme park. But they couldn't say which park because of a non-disclosure agreement.

Yea, that's why I haven't written an article with the video yet, it's not really news. I did tell them to keep sending me updates and press releases though. So maybe one day we'll learn something new about VB, (and I do hope there's something "BIG" to announce about the water coaster.)
Maybe they're testing the waters to see if you'll actually post their stuff, and only send you more if you pass the test...
So theme park hashtags so far:
#WhatsInTheShed - Kings Dominion
#WhatsInTheVolcano - VB

That's actually quite disappointing about the lack of geyser and I don't see any pipes leading up to suggest that it's still to be added. I think the image you posted is one of the main ones being used in their advertising as well. Strange.
I remember seeing pictures with the holes in the saucers earlier on during construction, but the latest images seem to show they are not there. Cuts?

The best I can say is watch a video of the one in Atlantis at the Bahamas. Has the same wave machine it looks like and I'm hoping it has the rapids sections
Now I know who got me in the back of the neck.
He's the Pee-Wee Herman of the spray guns. Dirty so-and-so.
Definitely had holes..
But notice the lowest tier "doesn't."
And using the giant version of the pic from earlier in the thread, it's like a slit.
Weird, no?
Also, they cut out part of the side wall. I think they discovered the up-jet didn't work and those cutouts will allow for a side jet - you see them on the blue wave/wall slide as well. That'd be like a big jet spray onto you as you come out of the tunnel and maybe even splashing on the circular bit. Then I assume the holes became drains and are just obscured because they're much smaller now.
