Wow, you've traveled to 2017 to see the finished product!? Can you pop up to the era when TSL is supposed to be done and tell us if it'll be as bad as its shaping up to be?

You did see the artwork right? I'm commenting on the artwork, not the finished product. What do you see that I don't?

You are right that the art is not highly detailed, but the description indicated a higher level of theming.

"Miss Fortune Falls will be a family-style raft attraction that takes guests on a splashing journey through the fabled Captain Mary Oceaneer’s past. Legend has it that Captain Oceanear, a treasure-hunting heroine, traveled across the sea collecting unique artifacts before she became stranded at Typhoon Lagoon many years ago by a rogue storm.

Aboard treasure rafts, guests will ascend to the top of the attraction before plunging into a white-water adventure where they will be able to spot some of the treasures Captain Oceanear gathered from around the world." I anticipate a fairly great degree of theming for a 2 minute raft ride. Looking forward to it!

I see as much themeing as I expected. About the same amount that can be found on all other Disney water park slides.

Yeah. Looks fine to me, too. Surely no one expected a theme park E-Ticket?

It's a waterslide that looks like most of its supports will be hidden by foliage and which features objects to look at. Much like the rest of the waterparks. They are hardly a bastion for Audio-Animatronics.

If it were me, I wouldn't even be spending my time at water parks at Disney because you got them all around where you live.

That's just me. I hope they never open any Disneyland water parks because that's my home.

Based on the numbers most people don't go. The four main WDW parks had a total attendance of 53 million in 2015, the two water parks only around 4 million, so a small percentage of guests are going there, but since so many people are coming to WDW even those small numbers makes operating the water parks worth while.

More to the point, those numbers are a bit unfair, as of those 53 million, I would imagine guests are visiting for an average of perhaps 5 theme park days. So you really have perhaps 10 million unique visitors per year. I would also imagine that, on average, IF you are going to a water park, you are only going to one and only going once. So if we accept that there are 10 million actual WDW visitors each year, and 4 million are also going to a water park, it's quite worthwhile to invest.

It must be. Otherwise, why would Universal and Sea World, and practically every other amusement park, see the benefits of building their own water parks?

must be worth it yeah? but im with the above post i wouldn't kill time at them vs theme parks. volcano bay apparently will really put a new spin on things if all the rumors come to fruitition but i dont see the massive appeal by itself.

I know that Disney markets the water parks as theme parks in the UK, but I was surprised to see this on the Vacation Planning section of the DisneyGo site. Technically, yes, there are 6 parks, but two are of the water variety, and I find it strange that they weren't marked as such.

I'm a Brit and I count them as a park. We don't really have water parks as such over here, unless you count a regular theme park on a rainy day, so I for one REALLY look forward to the water parks. Equally as much as the other four parks...

I'm not expert, but once it comes time to install the slide pieces, I assume that's a rather simple connection process?

VERY fast... typically, the longest part of any water slide project is the time to install the pump system and the catch pools and it looks like much of that is already done. The slide trough should go up in just a few weeks (well, it would at most any other park in the country).
