Old Sevens Seas Wave Machine

[JVSJr]

Does anyone know (or have a link) if video exists of the old wave machine near the poly resort?

No, but I would like to see this too!

I don't think there's a video (that I know about) but there's pics. The mechanics look like big pipes -- not something pretty. I remember reading somewhere that you can still see remnants of the structure on the island. If I recall, the wave machine idea didn't work because it caused too much erosion of Poly beach which was a problem especially as Poly resort expanded in that direction with the addition of the permanent, roofed-over Luau dinner bldg.

Jim Hill Media has a nice story about the wave machine: http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_c...quot-to-seven-seas-lagoon-s-wave-machine.aspx
