Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 6, 2016 #179 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm kind of surprised the Boomerang is stainless steel. I know it was that way in the example posted of the same slide inside, but the promo shots showed it blue. Seems kind of hot in the sun:eek: I think it is Fiberglass and the gel coat is grey in paint colour. If it was actual stainless it would most likely weight more than Fiberglas and being that high it may not help stability. If done in Fiberglass it will be cooler as well compared to metal. "Back in the Day" pre DW I dated a girl who's parents owned a Fiberglass company that made water slides. It was pretty cool. They shipped them all over the world. They also made some of the large Fiberglass dinosaurs at Universal Studios in Orlando for the Jurassic Park Ride. They had quite the shop. They made me their products, but the slides were their main product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM_KidAtHeart Posted February 6, 2016 #180 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looks like so much fun! Me and my family will be wearing those slides out! ;) I sure hope someone is live-posting from the Feb 7 sailing.. I want to follow along! 1 month from today I board! I'm hoping for as many live or after the fact posts as I can get. Although I'm partial to 2nd sailing on Feb. 14th since that will be the same itinerary as my upcoming sailing.

DM_KidAtHeart Posted February 6, 2016 #181 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yes to make room for the slides What I wonder is if maybe they've somehow moved the mini golf. All the RCI pages and releases on the updates say it will have mini golf. It's one of 5 or 6 things I hope to hear about in the next few weeks.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 6, 2016 #183 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just seems like an odd color to choose. 100% agree. Gray doesn't say WOW to me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd555 Posted February 6, 2016 #184 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) 100% agree. Gray doesn't say WOW to me either. Perhaps they will be adding a colour later to the metal slide, at least on the outside (similar to the slide in this photo). Mind you, that is something they could/should have done before assembly.

Mind you, that is something they could/should have done before assembly. Very good point. I do think though that they would want a product that requires minimal maintenance especially at that height. I would not want to be the maintenance guy paintin at that height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that's probably because of the water. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 7, 2016 #194 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Never been over there. I guess it's fine then Me neither, I just make it to barefoot beach. We do have a good source of info though. I guess in a few days we will be getting reports from cruisers who rode the slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild hogs Posted February 7, 2016 #198 Share Posted February 7, 2016 52 and ready to hit those slides! We are booked for Nov 2016 and in the process of changing our May 8th to April 24th. Keeping our fingers crossed that the new Galveston terminal will be completed in 13 weeks. What new terminal in galveston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted February 7, 2016 #200 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Watching Liberty slide into berth. Got a pretty good look at the new cabins up top, but she was already turning in the new basin when I got up...was hoping to see the new slides with the lights on.
