Behind the Scenes in Asian Tropics – When Asian Tropics opens in 2012 there will be many "green" innovations you won't see. For example, maintenance-free radiant-heated flooring (right) has been installed in several buildings and under the gibbon boardwalk to keep the path free of snow in the winter. A pipe underground in
Asian Tropics will improve the water quality in City Park's Duck Lake by processing the water volume more often. We continue to raise funds for the $50 million project.
