Remember that Whitewater did all the post opening retrofits so if we get new slides I bet it's from them.

Only slide that I know had issues iirc was Punga Racers. Unless there’s a whole other thing I don’t know about.

But yeah. They could go with WhiteWaterWest too, they make similar rides.

Actually if they went with them. They could probably do some crazy things with the Mat Slide variety. They have a model called the Mat Blaster which no one has built in North America. So they could market that pretty amazingly

I believe the tall slides at the top of the volcano had problems (the two that have turns, not the straight down one). As others mentioned Proslides oversold on weight capacity & people got hurt. They even changed the ending of those slides as you used to land into a pool. But now you remain in the slide when it ends.

Huh well in that case, I made a WhiteWaterWest version

Would include 3 new slides

Including a Family Style Master Blaster maybe add a couple fusions like an AquaSphere/A Couple Slingshot or Constrictor Elements & a Boomerango finale, along with like 4 or 5 uphill blasts
A SlideWheel
& an 8 lane Whizzard Mat Racer.

Along with a Swim Up Bar and Reflecting Pool with interactive elements


If they wanted to get a bit creative. They could replace the Whizzard with a Mat Blaster to market it as the first “Uphill Mat Racing Slide in North America”

Hell if they wanted to get more creative. They could also add a pair of dueling AquaLoop slides in this expansion. Would be a Florida first iirc

They needed more cabanas so that's good. Just wish we got a new slide, too.

If that's the only area they're going to doing construction on, then yeah probably just that in that area. I don't know otherwise.
