Wet ‘n’ Wild Construction Photos: Will it Open On Time? : Las Vegas 360

Wet 'n' Wild, will it open by May 27th?

The heat is on, and it not the weather. The looming deadline of May 27 is approaching blazing fast. Can the Las Vegas’ brand new water park be ready in time? to help answer that question, here are the latest photos of Las Vegas’ upcoming water park Wet ‘n’ Wild.

With the new water park getting ready to open in about 10 days, there is a lot of thing that still have to happen. From the photos you can see that the major slides are set up and some of them are up and running. Still to be complete is the plastering on the lazy river or as they call it the Colorado Cooler and probably the Red Rock Bay. The cabanas have been set up. But most of the large construction pieces seem to be in place. There is going to be a lot of little things that will need to be finish, internal fencing between attractions, gates, ropes, awnings, signage, shops, restaurants plus all the final landscaping has to be installed. The majority of the landscaping already completed and has a nice balance of desert friendly rocks and plants, but a loot needs to be added on the interior.

The place is larger the the original Wet ‘n Wild (Las Vegas Strip 1990-2004 at 27 acres) compared to this one at 41 acres. The parking lot and the attraction area are both bigger.

The place is coming together very fast but, can it be done by this Memorial Day? I believe it will miss its deadline of Memorial Day, but by probably open about 2 weeks later -say June 10th. Can’t wait for it to open.
