Saturday - August 20th, 2016
Between other commitments and the extreme heat, it has been several
weeks since I visited the parks. On our way there we ran into some
heavy downpours (while it was sunny) and thunder and lightning in the
area around the park put a hold on guests' fun especially in Hurricane
Harbor where all attractions were temporarily evacuated. Here are
some pictures from both Hurricane Harbor and the theme park.

We knew parking in the last row would mean a crowded water park. |

As always, the annual sand sculpture promoting the year's new
attractions is impressive. |

Dark skies begin to move into the area. |
The lazy river was evacuated... |
...and the slide towers cleared. |
