Creator's Key Takeaways

we knew we wanted water water everywhere so we started there and then we built the rest of the ship around that

we really wanted to think about delivering unrivaled water experiences in a bolder bigger way

the water slides on icon will be so complex and so large and we are trying to now build it separately from the ship

we have 62 percent more water surface area so we really concentrated on the water
