DCL Picture of the Day - Part 3

[pjpoohbear]

Bevs thank you for the updated pictures of the new slides, in november they were still over by the new stingray area.

Given the concrete pilings in the picture, that looks like where it will be when it opens. It is supposed to be for everyone, not just kids.

I don't think it is concrete piling and believe it is currently just floating. I have heard that it will be at the family beach. I guess we will know come next fall.

You are correct it will be at the family beach, but in the new extended area, across from the cabanas which are on the old teen beach, just beyond the old stingray area. From your photo (near Heads Up?,) it is just about where it's final placement will be.

Hmmm...... those tall gray columns look like concrete, but maybe not. I would have to believe that it is floating, and if those are pilings, they are probably there to keep it in place.

Guess I'll have to go see if I can get a closer look when I'm there in April.

Please get as close a look as you can. Any information that can be gather will be gladly accepted. The columns do look like contrete but in order for it to work it would need to remain at the level of the ocean which is in a state of change at all times. I am sure that it will be placed in or around the family beach. It will be secured to the ocean floor in some manner but will rise and sink with the tide. If you find I have guessed incorrectly please post the correct info. I can't wait till next fall and I can see it myself!!!!!

I wrote quite a long blog entry on Castaway Cay but I unfortunately cannot post the link because its on another Disney site. The slide is definitely in its current location between what is currently the sports beach and the Heads up Bar. The sports beach is being relocated and the family beach is being extended, so it will technically be next to the family beach. The slide is attached to the concrete in such a way that it can rise and fall by sliding up and down the pilings.
