Today was media day for Paramount's Carowinds' Boomerang Bay waterpark makeover.
Here's Jarvis arriving fashionably late and discovering that he is not on the VIP list.
Here's some of the crew loitering about before lunch.
The B-lister lunch was at Outback Shack.
The A-lister lunch was catered from Outback Steakhouse. Naturally, this was where we needed to be.
The kookaburra bird is like "haaay"
"I want a steak"
Here's where they did all the talking and such. We were in the pool during this part, and everyone released a balloon at a specified time. Don't have any pictures of that sorry.
New bathrooms woooo
A-lister lunch.
Apparently plastic silverware was not meant for eating steaks.
Crocodile Run.
Jackaroo Landing.
Wallaby Wharf.
Platypus Plunge.
Great Barrier Reef.
Here's the cart where you can get your grog on. There's no pub, though.
The Awesome Aussie Twisters were the only adult slides open during the media event.
Nice signage for Kookaburra Bay.
EXCLUSIVE shot.
They did actually have a kangaroo there. It didn't want its picture taken, though.
Here's Kookaburra Bay with the Top Gun money shot in the background.
Clever shot.
Here's the Sydney Sidewinder.
Here's the entrance sign to Boomerang Bay.
Zoom out.
This squirrel was like "wtf are you doing in here on a weekday?"
Here's an advertisement outside for the park's other newly expanded area: the campground.
That's all for today. And oh yeah, I almost forgot. Per request:
