The San Antonio resort cut the ribbon to the new slides, with PIC staff demonstrating the mechanics of the waterslides while guests watched and mingled.<\/p>\n
According to Micronesia Resort Inc. CEO and president Matthew Park, it took them a year and a half to conceptualize and build the new attractions.<\/p>\n
