The Bahari Interactive Wave Pool at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, Santa Claus, Indiana

In a few months from now I'd be under six feet of water if I were to be standing at this spot.  The openings at the bottom of the wall are where the waves come out.  Bahari is going to have eight computer controlled wave patterns so you should have no problem catching a wave.

I know this looks like some bizarre sculpture that you might find in an art show but this soon will be one of the Tiki idols.  The tubes that are sticking out will spray hundreds of gallons of water out of the Tiki idols on anyone who might be passing by.

This Tiki idol is a little closer to completion and should be set in stone by the end of the week.  The main Tiki idol is supposed to have in addition to the three jets of water shooting out a jet that will shoot water three stories in to the sky just in case anyone downwind isn't soaked yet.

Last night Will Koch, Holiday World's President decided to add two more Tiki idol fountains that are going to go on the back wall on either side of the peninsula.

Being a media tour Holiday World President Will Koch was there to show off his newest baby.  He said that he started seriously thinking about what to add this year in May of 2004 and didn't settle on a final design until September.
