Does anybody else think that they did a better job with PGA's BB, it is thmed and landscaped better. I know ours already exsited but they still could have done a better job they could have added themeing to the older attractions. Also how much do you think it cost total to build PGA's Boomerang Bay, since they had to buy everything new. Look at the pics before answering.

PGA did already have a waterpark that was new in '04. This waterpark though, was the newly built Boomerang Bay that replaced Stealth (Vekoma Flying Dutchman). So this means that PGA's waterpark was originally a Boomerang Bay and therefore could possibly look more fully themed.

Well it was PGA's only real shot at having any niche in the theme park market in Cali. You have Disney, 2 Six flags, Knotts, ect. all sitting around the park, and a park the size of PGA cannot compete unless it had a stellar water park.

Yeah, I agree with you Jake. I also think that your reasoning that PKI's CDBB was a "remodel" of Water Works probably explains it. (Creative design is a lot easier when you're starting with a blank sheet...)

Of course, don't get me started about all the "lush tropical landscaping" that the marketing campaign for PKI's CDBB promised wink.gif By the time I was done reading all the hype, I expected Typhoon Lagoon-quality themeing. Needless to say--that wasn't the case. That's one example where the marketing definitely promised a lot more than what was actually delivered. It's too bad too, because as it is, CDBB was a really nice addition--it didn't need (and in my opinion--suffered from) the hyperbole.

I'm anxious to see pics from SFGA's new waterpark...if they came close to the same quality of themeing at SFGAD's new "Lost Kingdom" (Kingda Ka's area), then that should be something to see!
