Spotted: Is Royal Caribbean adding new waterslides to its private island?

It looks like a new water slide might be coming to Royal Caribbean’s private island in The Bahamas.

Inside Royal Caribbean’s waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay, new construction has appeared recently that looks like a waterslide support tower.

Royal Caribbean Blog reader Bobby Southard visited Thrill Waterpark over the weekend and noticed the new pole.

The new pole is located near the family tower of water slides, which already has three slides: Sling Shot family raft slide, Splash Speedway mat slide, and Twister tube ride.

Royal Caribbean has not announced any new slides being added to its waterpark yet.

The new pole and its arms look identical to the existing slide support poles.

“None of the new slide has actually been installed yet, just a pole with arms and you can see piping going up the structure,” Mr. Southard described of the work being done.

There is also more of the unassembled slide support structure visible from the waterslides when looking towards the backstage area.
