Can't wait to hear responses from others once they go on how Tapu Tapu will be used for little kids. Maybe it'll be an arm band for kids :D

I saw a photo of a table they were handing out rash guards for all of them so id assume some will be riding.

A VB rash guard is something I could get behind. I'd buy one.

Tight fittings shirt similar to a wet suit, thinner material that people wear for surfing, swimming any water activities.

Quinmac beat me to it, lol. Also is great for those who sunburn easily or if wanting to protect yourself form the UV rays

Oh boy. Only several more hours until the press is going to be in the park! Eek! The only thing I wish for between now and 6 AM is that they add covering to mask the bare steel supports holding up the stairs. Fingers crossed!
Click to expand...
I don't think they're gonna get around to that steel for this weekend because it seems they're still working on the big drop slides and stairs. But I have confidence within a couple weeks. These will be appropriately taken care of. Oh well. It is what it is.

Ya- I never wore them but once I started surfing on my trips to Hawaii a few years back I became a huge fan. Now only my elbows down and back of legs get burnt to hell while surfing :D
Not sure how it'd do on a slide though.

@Teebin they are called "rash guards" because while surfing or boogie boarding for a few hrs your nipples can get incredibly chafed. As in bleeding and painful over the next couple days. You can also get a rash on the chest, but it's more for the nips.
Although in a water park, it's the new "fat guy in a t-shirt"- but it just looks better.

As a side note- good looking women look pretty awesome in a rash guard.

Nice of them to include pronunciations on the park map for the more complicated names.

Isn't it amazing that people like us can follow these projects for years, know where every piece of steel was laid, pour over drainage documents, see every square inch of these attractions through leaked photos, previews, and soft openings, know them inside out, and still we get excited for on weeks like these.

We see the flaws, we argue over design, we criticize every detail and decision, yet when it comes time to unveil the final or almost final product to the general public, we get giddy to see their reactions.

Fwiw, there is a security checkpoint at the bus drop. That is where guests will be screened before going in the tunnel.
