BUILIDING - CHALLENGES AND HOW THEY WERE OVERCOME

The interface with the 5,000 to 6,000 guests who occupy the park at any one time was paramount.  Regular meetings were held with the park’s management team.  Delivery of materials had to be timed to avoid Mondays and Fridays, which are the busiest days on the park.  There were numerous work phases ongoing at the same time which needed additional site supervision, which we provided.
