The sun'll come out ... *NEW* OKW Slide Photos

[RobDoc]

The clouds finally parted this afternoon and the new slide took on a new appearance.

With temperatures in the mid 50's most of the day today, the slide was already closed when these pics were taken- but a few brave souls were still enjoying the pool. The slide is accessed by stairs as there was no practical way to build a ramp into the design. The middle photo was taken from the bridge across the pool and the others were taken from either end of that same bridge.

Hopefully , this will allow some to see the slide in a new light! Enjoy!

Thanks Doc, it looks beautiful!!! Water's smooth enough to float on. The skies clear and blue too!
Thanks for posting them!

You know, that "hidden Mickey" exit seems a bit out of proportion to me and looks more like a gaping frog!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Well, at least a gaping frog isn't as bad as DH's comment-he thinks it looks like a nostril blowing out *** Myself, I love it! Can't wait to try out that slide-alone, I guess.

Thanks Doc, maybe we should pool hop to OKW on our next trip??

 

[MarkRG]

Much better in the sun. Have you seen it at night? Does it have the fiber optics twinkling in it?

 

[PamOKW]

It's not fiber optics ... it is pixie dust!! Yes, fiber optics ... we got to see the fiber optics inside before they closed it off from public view.

Thanks Doc for sharing. Great photography as always.

I know now with these clearer photos, what does not appeal to me. Its the base of the structure. I love the top, castle look.

To me the lower half looks like a sand castle that someone either stepped on or some big wave hit and its melting. That part looks lumpy to me. If you enlarge the photo and place your hand over the upper part with the turrets, the lower half almost looks like some creepy cave.

The upper part looks great.

Where exactly is this pool located in OKW? thanks

It's located in the "main area" - where the Hospitality House (check-in), Olivia's (restaurant), gift shop, arcade, weight room, tennis courts, etc are all located.

And "thanks" for the pics, Doc. I doubt I'll ever use it, but I'm happy for those who will enjoy it.
