Lol the slides do look nice and new!

Saw these pictures of the slide tower support construction on Valleyfair's Facebook page and the construction webcam. This is going to be a lot taller than I thought it would be. Can't wait to ride it this summer .

Im not that thrilled with water slides. although they are pretty nice, I cant wait for next year COASTER! and im willing to bet it will be put were the old theatre is.

Is it white water west or proslide?

White Water West.

WOOOOOOOOOH VALLEYFAIR

I complain about how cold it has been in Eastern Pennsylvania, but this is probably nothing compared to the temperatures this winter in Shakopee, Minnesota. That hasn't stopped Valleyfair from working on their 2015 Soak City expansion, with the park even building a temporary cover over the work site just to be able to pour concrete! Take that, snow.

The progress has led the park to now have most of the support structure standing for their new six slide tower which includes the Breakers Pipeline and Breakers Plunge.

While the park assembles the tower structure, they've also started to receive the slide pieces themselves. This picture is from several weeks ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if the slides are already started to be assembled on the ground while the tower is finished up. When complete the new tower will offer four slides that start with a floor-dropping plunge, and another two high speed slides that start at a towering 90 feet above the ground.

Valleyfair fans have been able to keep up with the Soak City expansion via the park's live webcam, which shows work continuing on this sunny Saturday. The new slide tower can be seen in the background, with the run-out area currently covered in snow. The second Soak City addition, Barefoot Beach, can be seen in the lower part of the image. This will be a children's play area, filled with spraying elements and other fun for little ones.

Hopefully the weather will break soon, and then we'll see slide pieces going up and work continuing even faster.

Less than three months until the waterpark is open. Can't wait to try out the new slides!

I check the webcam daily it still looks mostly unchanged, a lot more stairs and railings on the towers though. no tubes yet.
it has been a pretty cold winter but no snow, only an inch or two on the ground all year.

I never knew they had webcams I only thought cedar point king island and carowinds had webcams

oh yeah!

^ Not like they are in any rush to finish

I wouldn't want to work in weather with snow

Well, the weather here is finally warming up and most of the snow has melted, so I'm guessing we'll see some faster progress soon.

Current webcam view:

^damn there moving faster than ihu breakaway falls

Hmm... What are these large white tubes?

Wow I thought that deck was for the Plunges... The Plunges are gonna be *huge* lmfao.

that is the new kids play area with the playground and giant bucket on top. one of those.

If the large white tubes are really for the new kids' play area, then it looks like it might be a lot larger than the original concept art suggested.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made it a lot bigger. They must realize that the playset in the concept art looks like a piece of f#@&ing s#!@ hahaha. I would be surprised if that's all it ended up being.

I have been to a few waterparks in my day and some of those play areas can get pretty big.
the thing that gets me is are they going to open that area for another entrance into the waterpark. The normal entrance is in a very inconvenient spot, and the walkway is way too small for the amount of traffic it has at times. I believe there will be a new entrance between the kids area and the slides.

I want to go to this waterpark

^HAHAH EW.

I would love if they changed the entrance location. I agree. I don't dig the location.

O_O... WTF is going on in this pool... Packed with the guests in joy? Heck no! They are just getting compacted!
