Roadrunner!😪

They can just put more inner tubes under that end.

 

[ChrisV]

Hopefully it opens by summer. Can’t wait to check it out.

Went by it this weekend a couple times after skiing. With all the refrigeration sitting on the doc bar, the bar side of the dock fascia looks pretty close to the water.

Add 30-40 peeps? I say the fascia is in the water.

I think it would have been wise to leave the facia off the dock side for ease of entry, it’s going to be a pain tight roping to get into your boat. Also, it was always nice when the water was fucked up and someone would hop off a barstool to catch your boat before you slammed into the dock. Parking on the front side is going to be tricky at times...

It'll be interesting to see how it does on a packed weekend. Looks to me like it needs to be 12" more above the waterline. I agree with you.

We'll be back in March and this time I'll take pics. Wait until they load it with booze. I feel more flotation is needed. I have personally built two docks at Lake Mission Viejo plus a dinghy dock in Dana Point Harbor. I am no expert but have enough experience to look at the Roadrunner and think....we'll just try and sink it like Fox's in the early days.

you know it’s pretty bad when you don’t need a level to see it slopes towards the building structure. I wonder if it’s ADA compliant

 

[hallett21]

I wish the new owners/builders well. I’m just wondering if this was an oversight? After putting in that kind of money I would want the bar floating 12” off the water minimum. Meaning 12” from the water line to the bottom of the facia.

I wish them well too.

I wonder if there is some sort of calculation from weight to buoyancy to level it out?

Maybe it's as simple as building it, adding all the operating weight and adding buoys until it's level ?

As a contractor, I'm wondering if the builder is reading this saying, "calm down assholes, we aren't done yet!"

 

[Rayson1971]

Maybe they brought weights in for buoyancy testing.

Yes, it's a very simple calculation, the weight you need to float needs to equal the weight of the volume of water you displace.

So simple math, water weighs ~8lbs per gallon (rounded), so to float 8lbs you need to displace 1 gallon of water.

They can put deeper pontoons on the dock if they need more buoyancy.

I'm on Instagram with one of the owners but have not brought my comments to him. He owns a place up by the Dam and he could boat down by himself and look. Well that's if the river does not get any lower. Two feet under the boat in glass alley last Sunday.

I know that they have had engineering challenges and some protesting individual has caused them some delays but they are moving forward.

 

[EarpRider]

Not my pic , I left my phone at home.

Don’t want to be a negative Nelly but this ought to be interesting. The section on the left is close to water level, compared to the right side. How low will it go with people in there? Not to mention that area isn’t very wide for tying off & unloading/loading a boat.

And, although not yet set in place, bar equipment makes it look cluttered inside. We didn’t go in so could be an optical delusion.

Positive is it looks like bar stools /patrons will face the water.

Here is the answer from the owners about the docks.

 

[Lucky Larry]

Two guys standing outside Safeway the other day talking about it being low. I said. “we just noticed that.” Ooh boy did I get the stink eye, shut up bitch dirty look. That would normally send me in deeper but I was nice and let it go. I could tell he was pissed, as he barked. ‘we have a fix’.

Ya, good luck with that. Just do it right the first time.

“Mrs.”

 

[SKIDMARC]

I hope they open up soon, we are going to be in parker from 04/04-04/07. Would be nice to check it out.

 

[Outdrive1]

I’m no engineer, my dad actually is, not that it means shit….. but that structure looks way too heavy for those floats. Foxs structure is skimpy in comparison. Road runner built a log cabin.

Good luck That upriver side will be under water with 100 people standing on it.

With current putting pressure on it. I’m guessing someone just “eyeballed” it.

 

[Clank123]

Somebody give us an update.
Same weekend as the Circle Races.
Gonna hit it for sure the following weekend.

I’m not going to lie. It looks nice and the decor fits.

Still wish the exterior fascia wasn’t there. I’d like to check on the boat in between cocktails. My DD’s boat that is!

 

[500bbc]

100 weighing an average of 150#'s?
They think it's still 1972?

My buddy says it looks nicer than before

That's not hard to do when the old overly tired decor is 50yrs old, haha.

I think that is a USCG calculation thing. Boat capacity cards are a 150# average as well.

When I go in for my next physical for my license I will tell them the USCG says I average 150lbs

Looks great, nice timing too!!!

Is the kitchen open yet??

You're short enough, you may be able to pull that off. Lol!

 

[Echo Lodge]

Packed!

Dog friendly! Until someone gets bit!

Roadraper is now.....

 

[OCMerrill]

Roadraper is now.....

What dude is going to belly up to the bar and order that?

My wife already wants one. Damn her. LOL.

 

[FreeBird236]

Did the Roadrunner have bottle price drinks before the rebuild, or is it something new?

 

[mjc]

So how much are beers?

 

[FreeBird236]

Looks like they have the Wakeboarders Red Bruski for $9, probably tomato juice and draft. I guess it could be worse.

 

[cofooter]

Well @Echo Lodge , we're waiting............ did the dock sink???

 

[Outdrive1]

It’s really really nice. They have a lot of staff. Probably 7 bartenders at 3 bars. The pool is actually really nice. The bar is beautiful. There were probably 10 servers. It’s nice. It’s classy, it’s clean. Nicest place in Parker IMO. It’s going to be a great summer.

 

[NicPaus]

Well @Echo Lodge , we're waiting............ did the dock sink???

I drove by last week. Dock looked like it was sitting to high to tie up next to in a low freeboard boat. Looked perfect for my boat but it was closed so we went to Pirates.

 

[Echo Lodge]

Well @Echo Lodge , we're waiting............ did the dock sink???

All good, lots of folks on the dock. It didn't sink.

 

[welldigger00]

I tried three times to pull up. Packed! Hopefully in a few weeks I’ll get a shot…

The best bet now is to get there before they open, dock your boat and stare at them til they start serving! ha! Or go midweek, probably a ghost town!

 

[Clank123]

Hearing the same things as mentioned above.
Some of the Marina Manor crew went this morning. Great reviews!
Cool thing is my boys at Romer Distributing got the beer I sell in there.
Sales call for sure next Friday afternoon for sure when I get to the River!
I’ll be buying beers, so hopefully I’ll run into a few RDP folks and we can have a Dusty together!

Nice pic of your hat, Dave I know that your beer sign!!! Be there in a few weeks!!! Hope you're doing well my friend!

 

[WTR&PWR]

All I can see is that conduit work. What a wreck!

 

[Outdrive1]

 

[mobldj]

lets talk important shit.did they have the old french fucking toast.if not there are lots of bars to choose from on the strip

 

[Clank123]

A lot quieter this morning!
Place looks great!
Gotta be the only Chandelier in Parker!

Pretty wild. But if it passed inspection, run it!
