This is a bit late but Sid over at the Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog posted some awesome new photos of the final few days of construction going on over in Draper. The park is really coming together and the splash bucket looks insane! Can’t wait to see this thing in action before I leave for my new home in Texas.

Progress on Cowabunga Bay has been going like mad. We have 2 big updates from this weekend, and yes some of the pictures might overlap.

Check out both updates below:

TEA 2008 Attendance Report Released

Mike — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:48:16 +0000

The Themed Entertainment Association has released its 2008 attendance report. It doesn’t contain too many surprises, with Disney’s many parks taking the lead worldwide.

Notably, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Great Adventure made the list for top 20 North American parks while Six Flags Magic Mountain didn’t.

It was nice to see a hometown favorite (Noah’s Ark) make the list for top waterparks given that it is located in a less than hospitable climate 6 months out of the year.

It did show that the economy is affecting destination parks more harshly than regional theme parks and I expect that trend to continue.

Check out the full report here.

The Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog has posted some great information and photos from a recent construction tour they took. I drove by today (yeah I forgot my camera) and the park was looking awesome. The giant bucket has been mounted at the top of the play structure and more supports have gone up since their photos.

Shane posted a bunch of new photos of Cowabunga Bay construction to the Theme Park Review. They got a new shipment with a bunch of huge pipes and it looks like this thing will really come together soon (as long as the insance amount of snow they’ve gotten in the past week doesn’t stop them).
