Originally Posted By bean Yes the entrance of the cavern has been extended out and a new very tall show building was added. The water fall will now be much larger and longer. The rock formation will be much more believable than before it is being done by the same company that worked on grizzley Maountains rockwork. A goo portion of the lagoonbehind the show buildings will also be filed in with dirt and concrete barriers since it will no longer be visible. The atlantis ruins have been relocated from inside the cavern and will now be outisde in the lagoon. they will be visible from the point the sub turns right after leaving the dock until the new caeverns entrance. Between the new show building and old entrance to the cave it will also be enclosed and some ocean theming added
Originally Posted By oc_dean I have a question too..... Obviously there will be a water fall over the new entry way into the "Mr. Ray" show building. But do you think water will be cascading down the sides .. or left dry? The current infrastructure going in ... does not show any water pipes going in. At least not yet. But with the distance between the entry water fall .. and the "exit" water fall is some 50 or more feet. That's going to take one heck of a water pump to send enough water cascading or at least dripping down the sides. (Fingers crossed for cascading waters on all sides.)

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I thought the mermaids had to go because it was not good for their skin and hair to be submerged so much.
Originally Posted By CrouchingTigger I think it was a little of everything - traffic jams, guys diving in, and young women who decided that they'd rather not live their lives with green hair.
Originally Posted By tiggertoo As much as I will miss the lagoon vistas, I think the new rock work will look wonderful.

Originally Posted By monorailblue The way you read about all that, it sounds like there were regular pool parties in the lagoon every day! It is so ridiculous, really. I can believe that one one or two occasions, some fool jumped into the lagoon to see what was going on, but it is laughable to think there were lovesick buffoons diving into the lagoon right and left just to get to the mermaids. Why weren't guys jumping out of the Monorail as well? Still, it's funny to read.
