500 bucks, what a deal :D . This will make some serious money, I think some people were asking for a place to have a party. It also comes with admission for up to 15 people and you get some extras.

Growing up in CT & always having gone to LC, it's amazing the land they now have for the water park - looks great - I always thought it would be land-locked there with no room to add rides on that side of the lake - I look forward to seeing what it will look like in 5-10 years!

I would be shocked if the wavepoool is done by Memorial Weekend. A lot of work has to be complete.

^not really because most of the underground work is done and then its just a lot of concrete work and landscaping. I wish they would add palm trees like HH has.

palm trees would be cool since it is becoming a tropical feel. Will they rename the rides?

This is probably a dumb question, and sad that I can't remember, because I was there this summer. Is the Lighthouse looking waterslide the one that was removed for a season, and coming back, or was that already there through 2012? I can't remember what the slide looked like that went into the lake itself.

Lighthouse slide was always there. It was the 2 enclosed tube slides (Lake Plunge) that emptied into the lake that were removed.

We were able to take a tour of the construction during noreaster today and according to Jerry they are on schedule and will be ready for memorial weekend. The foundations for the mens and womens bath houses are ready and they will start building them soon. The johnny rockets will be a trailer type so it can be moved for the holiday events.the whole area will have concrete walkways and they will have sand where the seating will be.Here's the pics i took, enjoy! :D
