Check out the pics we took when the park was new.

For safety reasons, several water park operators paint pools in a sandy colour because it creates an immediate mental association that sand = shallows.

Shallow blue painted pools can result in serious accidental dive injuries because it makes water appear deeper than it is.

That's actually really interesting, and completely makes sense. Its just a shame it looks 'dirty'

I can't believe just how bad the slides had become for a water park that is not very old. They ended up looking like they were slides from the 1970s, not 2006!

Does anyone else think they haven’t finished repainting the BRO, because the top two don’t look painted compared To the bottom two

No, I believe the top two are supposed to be a lighter pink colour. If you look at photos before it went down to be repainted, it’s not the same colour as it is now.

I hope they aren’t finished yet...

- looks pretty finished to me and at least (not hard!!) a shit tonne better than before 😀

Yeah they looked finished, it all looks great, but that Fluoro colour doesn’t fit, especially when it’s followed by a dark blue

It’s finished, pretty easy to see in person that all segments are freshly painted

Sure the colours are not overly complementary, but they’re bright and look good. I’ve got no issue with it

Fountained this as I fail to see any part that is unfinished.

I think it looks good tbh🤷‍♂️

The inside of the Temple of Huey and little rippers hasn’t been painted, so it still looks quiet dirty and faded when riding. Hopefully they finish it off next year 

Just put together a comparison video now that all major slides are complete. 

 

@themagician have the inside of the bowls been painted on The Little Rippers

Pineline Plunge has received its full repaint and is looking so much better

Just in time to sit and dry in the sun for 4-6 months!

They have ripped up the soft fall flooring (Nearmap update from April 20)

 

Bucket appears to be gone too or am I just going blind? 

@Brad2912 it was removed when the repainting began, but didn’t return before the park closed

Definitely great they are redoing the flooring last time we were there it was full of holes, the colours had been washed out and it was really rough it was actually a bit uncomfortable to walk on.

This nearmap update from early August shows the flooring still hasn’t been replaced, but as I’ve posted already, the bucket has returned. It’s not listed under maintenance on the website, so we should see the new flooring installed before they reopen 

Holy cow that looks bright AF. Great stuff.
