Stumbled across this and put it in with the webber wave pool discussion but i think more people will see it here.Bit of an eye opener.

That sounds incredible. Imagine if someone did something like that here in OZ?

I hope they don't.

Sounds like a shit of an idea to me.

As far as press releases or announcements go that's a weird one. Not necessarily the idea but the language.

I emailed Kelly about it and here's his reply:

"I'll give you a hint...go look at the date they released that."

Ha ha ha...got us.

It looks like Greg Webbers Wave Pool plans are over. Left his run too late. Better still never started it.
I think that the pool he announced in Queensland was all bull shit and was never going to happen.
What the hell has the guy been doing to let slater beat him at his own game.
What a loser

Sounds like the park is running a tad over schedule:  "They're still working on the masterplan" said the kindly PR person when I asked.

"All things proceeding to plan, the developers anticipate commencing Stage One construction some time in 2016."
