SharkTums Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 ^Sad but nice at the same time, as I'm sure you're ready for some days off! So what do you have to do to get the park 'ready' for the cold snowy off season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 ^^I like that picture. Kind of a nifty idea for the end of the season. Hopefully we can see some new shots of the park from this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I had no clue that the idea phase to creation occured so quickly for you Shane. Then again your decades in the industry gave you move insight than those of us sitting on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great article and I wish you the best of success. /starts vicious rumors for 2011 season So, uh.... when is the Aqua Loop going to be installed?

Booligan Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 As a SLC local, I love driving by the Bay every day on my way to work. This summer, my girls will be old enough to really enjoy the park, so we're definitely going to have to make a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twister II Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Very cool article. What type of chlorine/filters do you use? At my old waterpark we used highrate sand filters with a series of UV lamps. We also used Sodium Di-Chlor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Very cool article. What type of chlorine/filters do you use? At my old waterpark we used highrate sand filters with a series of UV lamps. We also used Sodium Di-Chlor. That is exactly what we use. 3 large highrate sand filters and a UV lamp on each water system. Each system has a 25 minute turnover rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Sunny Days are the best for water parks but there is a certain beauty when they are covered in a Winter Wonderland. We got lamblasted with a winter storm yesterday but the sun was out today and made for some beautiful pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWest Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I went to this park yesterday for the first time and then came home curious to learn more about it. I'm also a business owner in Draper so I was looking for a little more information on the history and owners of the park. A little googling led me to this awesome thread (and about an hour of wasted time going through all of it!) We took our 2 1/2 year old son and were just so amazed with the place. I didn't think there would be much for a 2 1/2 year old to do at a water park but he pretty much had the time of his life, possibly literally. We went in the evening and the shade combined with a nice breeze left it a little chilly - he was shaking from cold at one point but we still couldn't tear him off of the rain fortress! He walked around all day today saying "Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay". Great work Shane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
