Description
Constructing a pool had been difficult, but when opened in 1987, it immediately led to the park growing in popularity. However, some locals were not so enthused. Many cried out that the pool facility was not properly managing the Sterling River - and filed a lawsuit against the park. During much of the 1987 season, the pool was forced to be closed, cutting majorly into expected income.
While the park won the suit, as they had correctly acquired their water, it was clear that improvements needed to be made. During the off-season, the pool’s water system was made more efficient, vastly conserving what was used. The costs however, prevented any other big additions, and in fact led to the park having to sell one of its original fairground rides, the rather unpopular Roc’s Flight.
The troubles had been hard, but Brent was optimistic - and with coaster wars heating up around the world, Brent was gunning for his own park to jump in. -

Nice detailing here, around the wave pool especially!

Yeah, I'm enjoying working on it, but sadly I've fallen behind just barely on the last two entries, so while it gets into DK's video, it doesn't get reviewed, and so most people in the discord never even see it.

Thanks! I also did a lot of interior work this round, the arcade and laser tag arena are fully detailed.
Love the use of the rapids track for the wall. Really clean and creative!

I dig that lifeguard chair, nice work.
