"This way to an endless summer," the sign read when the Conch family decided to stop by to check the progress on the water park. The sign was created by the contractors who worked on the covered walkway to the main entrance from the nearby shopping district. The covered walkway being short enough for it to not be irritating to guests after a long day at the water park, but just long enough to shield them from the elements should the weather act up. In Radiant Shores, the weather tends to go from sunshine to rainstorms in an instant. Snow has not been seen in a hundred or so years, but every weatherman likes to predict the "big snowstorm will be coming this year" as Roy likes to poke fun of. Pearl is the head of the color decision department, as appointed by Roy. He handles the financials and the contracting while his wife Pearl tends to have an eye for colors that do not clash. After all, she has been picking out his outfits for about 30 years. She always wags her finger at him saying "if you chose colors, a rainbow would vomit." Roy has always enjoyed how unafraid she was to speak her mind. The left parking lot is complete, landscaping crews are still adding foliage at the approval of Pearl. One wrong plant and she does it herself. The left parking lot features 9 accessible parking spots while the right parking lot is reserved for accessibility parking. In the parking lots guests will find the yellow and blue parking bumpers with the yellow parking bumpers are for general guest parking and blue for guests using the handicapped parking spots. It was agreed that these color choices were easy to distinguish and parking attendants could easily guide guests through the parking lots. The lanes for both parking lots are simple with all of the arrows being painted for the left lot and are starting to be painted in the right lot. It was agreed that the lanes would be one-way lanes from the entrance and exit of each lot. Parking attendants will be present to guide guests to vacant spots and to follow the painted arrows on the pavement. The entrance is mostly complete. Roy and Pearl have been discussing what will be behind the entrance before the entrance turnstyles. Currently there is a staff room and restrooms after the information and ticket booths. A small gift shop is being considered so that guests can purchase what they need before their day at the water park, with it being connected to the restroom facilities. After the turnstyles will be lockers and changing rooms as soon as guests enter the park, with the lockers already being picked out by Roy for the "optimal size for flip flops and junk." Roy and Pearl's son Jimmy has been made responsible for anything "techy" in the park. This includes social media with his mother being the second set of eyes for colors and graphics. Jimmy likes to fly his drone around the neighborhood, which has been very unwelcome by the neighbors. With Endless Summer having empty parking lots and a vast amount of space, he was invited to get an overhead shot of the progress. Roy's parking lot plans show his big dreams for Endless Summer. He was so quick to act that the left lot was not even leveled so there is a slight slant to it. Thankfully the contractors were able to make it blend with the walls around the parking lot. Hopefully Roy's future ideas are more thought out. He has been going on and on about adding a roller coaster and some attractions for guests who do not wish to partake in the water park. His big idea is a roller coaster for a dry thrill, but he has no idea where to begin!
