Oceans of Fun construction nears 25 percent completion
Oceans of Fun, Kansas City's 60 acre water park, has reached 25 percent completion with a May 1982 opening planned. Since June 11, 175000 cubic yards of dirt moved, five of 11 buildings framed, and 1000 cubic yards of concrete poured mainly in the wave pool area. The five acre lake for water skiing exhibitions nears completion, and a smaller adjacent lake with 5000 tons of sand fills a sandy swimming area. Adjacent to Worlds of Fun on I-435, the project aims to hold seven million gallons by mid March. Development was announced in December 1980 by Worlds of Fun chairman Lamar Hunt.
