The View From Our Window
We are just tidying up a few details around the shop before we head down to Florida for the IAAPA Attractions Expo. The crew will keep things going here while we mind the booth (#856).
Dan will also be speaking on “The Importance of Storytelling for Smaller Parks” on Tuesday. We hope to see you there!

The vertical concrete work at the Hazelnut Inn is now complete. The forms are all removed and the site cleanup is finished. The space of each suite and garden are now clearly defined. We look at it as a blank canvas which which we will build on. The trusses are now on order and the few wooden framed walls will soon be done. In the shop the last prefabricated roof is almost finished. The tree skylight for the Underhill is ready to install. The waterproofing of the green roof will begin tomorrow. It exciting time for the project as we begin giving the site its character. It will truly be a place like no other!
It is always exciting to start a new project, especially when it is something as fun as a ‘gold mine mole’. Our clients at Loco Landing Adventure Park in Penticton encouraged us to let our minds run wild as we designed a new piece of ‘mining equipment’ for their facility. The Gold Mole Mining Co subterranean digger will double as an interactive feature on the adventure golf course next season. It will be busting through the green on the first hole of the golf course. I fired up our CNC plasma cutter today and began cutting steel plate for the pieces I would need. Then I donned my welding helmet and started to weld them back together. By the end of the day the armature for the giant corkscrew auger was taking shape. I can hardly wait to get back into the shop tomorrow to pick up where I left off! Stay tuned…
