Prior to the helix riders will snake down a giant, open s-bend.
By mid-September the majority of the slide pieces had been fitted.
The beginning of the 630 degree downward helix.
Each tube section is made up of multiple top and bottom half pieces. These are first bolted together on the ground, and then lifted into place; joining the appropriate support and nearby slide piece.
The slide pieces ready for installation. They are over 2m in diameter.
Each slide is barcoded with a unique part number.
The slide is really starting to take shape.
The drop into the wave element.
Following the wave element, riders will fly down one last drop and into a splashdown pool.
Do a barrel roll!

These holes at the top of the wave will house water nozzles that will keep the entire wave lubricated with water.
The wave element alone is quite big.
Up she goes!
Slide pieces started to be installed in late August. The wave is now starting to take shape.
The wave’s structure contains many of these junctions. Crimped ends of steel tubes slot into an extrusion and are then secure into place with a washer either side.
These steel tubes make up the wave's support structure.
Next, the wave's 'exoskeletal' structure was constructed.

Slide pieces arrived at the beginning of August.
