Wet 'n' Wild Las Vegas Progress Check

I haven't been paying close attention to the construction of either of Las Vegas' new water parks, but Wet 'n' Wild has made quite a lot of progress lately.

This aerial of the all-new water park shows off what has been done so far. You can see the wave pool has been poured, and the lazy river is well under way. Lots of footers for the slide towers are in place, and some of the admission and other facility buildings are standing. They're making pretty quick work of things!

And speaking of the slides that will populate the landscape of the water park, they've started to arrive in droves. This colorful selection of slide pieces are patiently waiting to be hoisted into place. Four different slide towers will each have multiple rides stemming from them, with slides that range from mild to wild.

Fast forward to even more recent photos, and some of the slide towers are now standing. The one above will be the starting point for Desert Racers - a multi-lane mat style racing slide - and Canyon Cliffs, which is a pair of steep dropping thrill slides.

The $50 million development has a planned Memorial Day grand opening, so we're sure to see plenty more of the park going up - and quick. More info is available on the official Wet 'n' Wild Las Vegas website.
