Verruckt Construction (Schlitterbahn)


Before we get to Verruckt, something completely unrelated - they are expanding the Cabana Village.

It looks like they are close to having the conveyor lift installed.

Seriously this slide tower is crazy tall.

Here you can see the conveyor better - it is the green color next to the first drop slide.

It looks like the footer is ready for them to install tower segments.

Very elaborate sets.

What a great show.
