Over the course of the year Greg and I discussed spending my
summer at the Dallas waterparks. This would allow me see the parks operations
first hand. Time went by and no solid plans were made. So by the time we wanted
to set something up it was too late! So we settled on me going out there for a
week.
I arrived in Dallas with Greg and we made our way to our
hotel. I was to spend the first few days with Greg and then move on to spending
time at the parks. While with Greg we met with the Texas State Fair and
explored the idea of installing an adventure park at their fair! We wanted to
place one in Texas because the Texas fair set the standards for the other state
fairs. If Texas bought an adventure park then so would everyone else!
We also met with the people at PrimePlay Inc. The direct
competitors to White Water West. We tried working on an water ropes course with
them too but pricing was too high. The director of the state fair was generous
enough to give us a tour of the facilities, which was awesome! They also gave
us the inside scoop on their up and coming attraction. The fair is in the
process of building the worlds tallest observatory tower, i.e. space needle.
