Something is happening near the pool!!!

Bump 6

 

[CDNCruiser]

Sorry about all the bumps, but I had to get my post count up to 10 in order to post these pictures.

In this panorama of the pool area, the hot tub is on the right, the slide on the left and the splash pad is behind the green curtain.

The splash pad is definitely dished, about 6 inches.

Great pics - love the angles you got on the tower/slide!

 

[Skyw]

Do ya think the splash area will be ready by next Thursday!!??! I am dying to see what it is like. My DS5 will love it no matter what.

The rumour was the end of this month, but there's lot of work yet to be done.

I'd guess a few weeks at the soonest!

Great photos!! Did you notice what they are doing to the building there by the splash zone. They removed a dormer and covered the roof with plastic, and also removed the siding from that end. I believe it was TCD who reported that this was somehow connected to the splash zone.

Love the pics. I can't wait until our trip in October. This refurb was well needed......

Look back to post #745 - it shows the building.

 

[Shan-man]

Yeah, 745 shows what they have done, but I think we're all still a little puzzled as to why. Ever notice that, all the big questions boil down to 'why'? Who, what, where, when and how are pretty easy to come by, it's the why's that boggle.

This philosophical insight brought to you by Ovaltine.

Shan, I am worried about you buddy, 7:07 in the morning is way to early to be drinking ovalt.... oh wait, you said ovaltine.... nevermind, that is something totally different.

I made a surprise on-site inspection of the pool project on Friday, April 24, 2009.

This is what I saw:

Work is continuing on the splash zone area:

The fenced-in area has been expanded to include an area in front of the pool. There are now two very large pipes sticking up from the ground here:

There is no new equipment in the area immediately behind the arcade/snack bar:

But, you can see just past this that there are lots of new equipment pieces, as well as a newly poured slab abutting the existing building.

The Meadow (no more “s”) Snack Bar is doing a booming business:

Here is the new menu:

And new signage:

A look at the splash zone from over the fence by the arcade entrance:

This new sign at the hot tub states that the hot tub closes at 10 pm. That is not going to sit well with some campers:

The slide rules do not provide a closing time, but I can’t imagine that they will keep it open when lifeguards are not on duty:

The pool rules confirm that the pool is still open 24 hours:

Some more views of the splash zone from over the fence:

Here are some shots showing how much is now fenced in:

I hate to say it, but it looks like they still have a long way to go.

And, a few more photos from 4/24/09:

Here is the state of things next to the arcade building:

In this photo, you can see that a new slab has been poured around the new equipment. I’ll bet that walls will be erected around this, and this new area will be enclosed, and the roof will be extended:

Here are those two new pipes I mentioned. I am not sure what these are for, or what will be connected to them, but my guess is that there is going to be a big pump installed out here:

Another splash zone shot from over the fence:

Here is that mysterious piece of equipment that we have previously discussed:

A shot down the side of the new fenced in area:

They are using big pipe here:

Here is another shot of the new equipment and slab:

The big pipes again:

The new equipment again:

The new fenced in area. There is a long metal pipe laying on the ground here. The workers in a previous photo were soldering this:

Enough with the over the fence shots. Here are some photos taken in stealth mode.

That mysterious big piece of equipment apparently is not equipment. It is empty. It looks like it is just a giant valve control box:

This big square hole is next to the big control box:

The outside of the building:

The splash zone up close:

What is going on behind the fence:

The new equipment:

The big white pipes:

So, what I think is missing is a pump that will pump the water through these big pipes.
My guess is that it will be hooked up to the big white pipes that we see in these photos.

The splash zone does not look like it is built to hold water, but, there are three large drains in the middle, and there is one very big vertical pipe that looks like it will shoot out a lot of water.

As I already said, it looks like there is quite a bit of work yet to go.

Good work Sherlock Holmes . Looks like things are progressing slowly. I doubt they will have it done by the end of this month, hopefully by the end of next month while we are there. Terrific pics. Keep up the good spying.

 

[nikkipowell1]

I believe I have seen big pipes like that before. I think that they suck air into them for some reason to help shoot the water out, or something like that. Not sure though.

 

[Shan-man]

I would pretty much bet that the copper pipe that was being soldered will be used for compressed air, like a water cannon perhaps. Course, it could be something as mundane as a fresh water supply for a drinking fountain. Thanks for the report TCD!

Great Pics...

Looking at the Splash Zone..no way does it appear to be anywhere near the size of the one at CBR. Appears to be a much more smaller area. Likely won't have any of the built in slides the one at CBR has.
Still, I'm sure it will be a welcome addition to the Fort.
