The H2Oasis water play area is ginormous.
The tower structure is quite impressive -- and there's still plenty more slide to be installed.
The queue area for these slides will be found here, where guests will wait for the tubes/rafts they need. It's unfortunately yet another tower at Wet'n'Wild without a conveyor belt to do the work for you, though unlike Tornado with its four person tubes (seen here in the background), the tubes for these slides will be relatively small and light.
The runoff for each slide is staggered so that guests queuing for each don't get in each others' way.
The green slide is enclosed but with an opening halfway for a sudden flash of daylight.
The Double Barrel slides to the right are a pair of very simple one-trick-pony raft slides that are short, sharp and add some much needed capacity to the tower.
The six slides splash down in a neat row.
The impressive slide tower is slowly coming together. Super Ripper is the purple and blue slide closest, Kaboom! is the blue and yellow pair behind that, while Double Barrell is the green and orange pair over to the right.
Clear sections of slide offer a bit of excitement to guests below.
The starting point will feature a conveyor belt to facilitate simple, fast loading and dispatches.
Kaboom! uses jets of water to propel guests on inner tubes up the slopes.
THis gentle sloping section of slide is one of the uphill moments on Kaboom.
The 27 metre tall tower is an impressive structure. The top of the tower will be the starting point for the Kaboom! Master Blaster slides.
The slide components need to be installed in a particular order based on how cranes can access the site. Generally this means the lowest sections of slide are installed before those above it.
One of the filtration units in place. These perlite-based filters offer incredibly fine filtration in a fraction of the space of sand filters.
Beneath the plant room is a large water reservoir, where all the water is pumped from.
Inside the plant room, where all these pumps will soon be located in a neat line along here. The gantry above allows very easy removal and replacement of slides for servicing.
There are different sizes of pumps for different purposes. Some will pump the main supply of water to the top of the 27 metre tower, some will supply water to Kaboom's uphill sections while some will provide water to the water effects in H2Oasis.
A central plant room will house all the pumps for the six slides as well as the accompanying play area.
The hill up towards Paradise Country is a rainbow of different shapes and sizes of slides.
