Aquatica Is Rising From The Sea

Right before our eyes Aquatica is coming together and the excitement is building! As we started the process of planning Aquatica we knew this area was going to go through a dramatic change. We decided early on to put up a camera to take a picture every minute of the day. Recently we put together the pictures taken from November through January of this year to create this time lapse video.

Our contractor, Guido Brothers Construction has been hard at work since last summer to help us create Aquatica. The same crew that brought you the lazy river, and Journey to Atlantis returned to help us build Aquatica. On the Aquatica project they have used 43 different subcontractors and by the end of the project over 1,600 workers will have had a role in building your new waterpark. Today work goes on 7 days a week for about 13 hours a day in order to have everything perfect on May 19th!

In this video you will get to see some amazing action through this time lapse photography. In the background you will see the construction of Stingray Falls and Ke-Re Reef. You will see the pools dug , formed and filled with concrete for Whanau Waters and Slippity Dippity. You will probably notice lots of action and even some rain. Let us know what else you notice in the video and be sure to check back for more pictures, videos and blogs about Aquatica!
