It got approved today.. Will it look like the photos though or will it be mush, and how much will it cost?

more importantly - is that a see through dress and G banger on the lass with her arms up? and will the artists impression of the female talent be as close to reality as the waves???

Yes I noticed these girls are quite saucy and scant on apparel, wonder if they will actually be there? Wonder if it will be a left or right? or both?

Artist getting carried away there?

I'm pretty confused now, I had in my head something like this


which I would be fine with, like a local wet&wild for the kids when they're older.

But that wave pool x nightclub thing? what is it exactly? I mean no-one's going to steve irwin way for nightlife, it's a trillion dollars in a cab to get home anywhere.

I guess that's why they are putting in accommodation there as well...plus the Beerwah golf club has the coldest beer on the sunny coast...well it did when I was there

I see in the article they are providing "short stay accommodation" - judging from that artist's impression I am thinking that means pay by the hour...

I think you should look up a few other photos comparing what we are offered with what we actually get.
They appear every year on programs like "The Checkout" and usually what we get is unrecognisable as being anything like the pic in the glossy brochure.

Yep well cold beer is awesome, no argument there, but I'm struggling to see the fit, is anyone going to say "hey I'm going to go stay at the wave pool?"
I mean seaworld nara does ok but it has the beach and Surfers as well as "just" sea world.

I guess they're saying they'll have some kinda canoe adventure trail, and water slides.

I think a surfable wave pool would be awesome, if it was comparable to cable skiiing in terms of money & ride time. I can see how with a round or oval wave pool someone could get on a wave and ride it round for a few laps, which opens up a whole new dimension.

I'm a terrible surfer but I'd pay decent money for a virtually endless wave that also gave me a chance of getting tubed.

I think the whole thing's very experimental though, this would be a world first - if it works

does it get any wind or will everyone need a jet ski tow-in?

No, that's a "Wave Garden" that you want.
This is in the Basque country (between France and Spain), Just few million dollars and they come and install one in your backyard...
