Dorney Park Shares a Look at Seaside Splashworks Progress

For those of you who have been checking in on Dorney Park's live webcam, you've probably noticed that the park has made mega-progress on Seaside Splashworks in the past two weeks.  Wildwater Kingdom's new-for-2020 family water fun house play area is a colorful, modern and huge replacement for the water park's former Island Water Works.  Featuring multiple levels of play and tons of interactive features it will keep visitors busy for hours this summer.

And speaking of the park's webcam, I noticed that workers are diligently adding more to the structure even on the weekend, with new sections going up each time I check in.  You can keep tabs on the work via this link.

Dorney Park shared two panoramic views of Seaside Splashworks' progress on social media.  The pictures speak for themselves, but you can get a good idea for how large the structure is.  As shown in the original concept art, Seaside Splashworks has one taller section with the dumping bucket and three slides coming off of it, but then extends outward for quite a distance to make full use of the island's layout.

This means that much more of the island will be utilized by the addition than the attraction it replaces.  You can also see in the webcam that the park has installed many poles to have large shade structures installed throughout the island, which will be a great plus for families.  The island has long been many visitor's favorite home base due to its relaxing nature... that might be just a bit busier come this summer!
