OKW pool slide updated (Thu 12/16) - latest Photo added

Wow that looks great.

Is it me or does anyone else think that looks ugly?

Jim

My initial impression is "monstrous." I think my ultimate opinion will depend on how it looks after the landscaping is finished -- in its natural setting. With sand all around of identical color and some palm trees I see potential for it going either way. Ugly or tasteful.

Fingers crossed.


What was your initial impression Caskbill?

 

[Tsi2quick]

I think the final verdict on the slide will definitely depend on what they do with the landscaping surrounding the slide. I can see this being very nice or possibly sticking out like a sore thumb. lol

Oh, I can't wait to see what it will look like in the end!

 

[KBFinFan]

I'll be there in two weeks (from today!) so I am anxious to see how it turns out. Most importantly, when is it going to be finished? Is there any idea really or it like an any day now thing now that the scaffolding and such has been taking down?

You know it does look monstrous..... but man oh man if I were a seven - eleven year old boy or girl, I would be thinking WOW! Look at that awesome sandcastle slide...

How soon before it gets it's first coat of Pink Paint???

Gee that's exactly how my eyes are seeing it right now and I'm 41! LOL

Thanks, Bill. Can't wait to get back home!

I think it looks awesome. Our 8.9. and 13 year old are going to love it ! Can't wait to see the finished product. It's difficult to judge scale based on a single photo that is centered on the object. Perhaps, if we had a picture with another landmark in it we could judge it better.

Did you see the panoramic photo that was taken earlier and posted in this thread?

Just returned home from OKW about 20 minutes ago. I was told by a CM working at Hank's that the slide would not open until Dec 31st. She said there was some problem that the contrators had to fix that was delaying the progress.

Anyway, as of this morning, it was about 75% painted. Would post a picture if I knew how. Looks great!

Oh boy, is my daughter excited! I just showed her the picture. Thanks! When I told her we were staying at Old Key West for spring break she was bummed cause she said she didn't want to stay anywhere that was OLD. (Get it - OLD Key West?)

She has changed her tune now. I just hope I'm more impressed this time since our last trip was not too impressive. It was my first time there and we had studio 5010. Rinkwide knows about that room, too. It is a handicapped accessible room that sits ON TOP of a busy road outside the resort.

 

[lenshanem]

I guess they could have just added a slide like at the Contemporary.

In other words, it could look worse.

I hope someone posts a pic soon with the new paint!

Thanks for the update & don't feel bad I don't know how to post pics either but maybe if Caskbill doesn't mind you can forward the picture to him and he can post it for you?

That way we can all see the progress. How about it Caskbill,do you mind?

I'm dying to see what it looks like as it is opening next week.

 

[Jennyvelaz]

when will it be done?

 

[Sammie]

Exactly Pat that's why I made my ressie right at the 7 month mark! I worried it would be hard to get.

I can't wait it seems comparable to the Volcano pool @ the poly.

I don't think the pool will affect reservations but definitely will affect pool hopping. The HH area will be packed and no place to park for members staying there.
