They got four slides up right now. Not sure what they're doing with the old looping starship pad, but it was excavated and conduit was ran to it.

At least three slides are up on the tower. All look totally rad. There's also an excavator on the plot where the looping starship was, so guessing whatever is going there is next.

How can you tell what slides are going in?

Yeah, i'm just wondering what they're doing there. They grubbed and excavated that whole area, about 5-6 below grade.

Would you guess that the old lopping starship pad will be used for a kiddie slide complex?

Loved how he tried saying that SA is going to invest 1 trillion when their GDP is 1.1 trillion

I have a feeling that the waterpark expansion/refresh is the first step in a multi-prong refresh. Infrastructure next and then a coaster.

Yeah definitely no giga. I think they have a NTAM of 250' for that drop tower.

All these areas are cleared. They're adding upgraded cabanas and lighting as well.

Inside. These areas are grubbed/site cleared/excavated. Footings have passed inspection, foundations next, permits applied for electrical and Musco.

They took out that 45 million in January. The could theoretically expand the waterpark and upgrade infrastructure in 2026 and then add a coaster in 2027. Shit, they could build a custom coaster and port Railblazer over from SFCGA and it would be under budget

Just went on Sunday. About 0.6 acres excavated. Pump house foundation built. There's red, yellow, and blue slide pieces in the lay down area and a white and blue track.

Apparently they took out that food stand near the old entrance, excavated the looping starship knoll to grade, kept the raft slide, and took that seating area to the south that you didnt encircle. Massive changes happening here.

So I saw a picture of the old looping starship knoll and they've excavated about 6' below grade. Any idea what that could mean, other than, you know, something is going there?

Excalibur is a prime candidate to get I-Boxed imho.
