Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Santa Claus, Indiana
Zoombwabe Construction
March 16, 2002 Page One
Yes today was time for my weekly
errand run into Santa Claus and I of course drove by Holiday World to
see how the construction was progressing. I was told that Zoombabwe
would start to shoot up and it has. As you can see from
last week's update
they've really been moving on it.
Several of the lift sections have
arrived at the park.
As I took these pictures I watched
one of the workers walking up the top of the slide. To show you
how big this slide really is he is the spec at the end of the tube.
I've done many crazy things in my life but no way would I walk up the
top of one of these...especially when it's wet out.
The one thing that really impressed
me today was the size of Zoombabwe...I know it's supposed to be huge
but you don't realize how huge until you see it. It looks like
a fun slide right now and it is only about half done. If you look
closely you can see some of the structure for it's cross over of the
Legend. I expect it to be over the Legend by next week at the
rate they're going.
