Did the comment attached to the picture sneak past you, or did you just skip that bit?

Well that’s very misleading, you should’ve specified that!

Correct, this is just a mock-up! Wishful thinking! I'm sure Greg will be open to doing something similar!

Pretty sure @Spectrumco mocked that up as something they could do that looks great. This is how it looked at park close yesterday

I wasn't far off. Is it just me, or is that not centred in the cutouts?

Well that has shut us up, that looks great!

A Victorian style signboard similar to the new Emporium and Surf Shop signs would do the trick. Put it behind the new 3D globe. Also a throwback to the original sign design.

I feel like the support is the old support, and they've reused it, which is unfortunate. The cutouts in the front edging of the building, and the scale of the support makes me think the current version is undersized. Greg should go out and get a bigger one made - keep everything the same, just enlarge it to fill the gap in the themed edging.

Good thing they didn't have to pay a real artist to do it then. Would have been a real waste of money.

I've been to several tourist attractions featuring old stonework and the like that was rigged with netting or other structures to keep visitors safe walking below. When looking at these pictures, it strikes me as not too dissimilar. Now, that's not me advocating for DW just leaving it as is - far from it - but I don't think it looks out of place. The patch holes where they've had to drill into the subframe do stand out though, and they need to get on repainting \ theming that appropriately - though I imagine its a work in progress given some panels are done and not others, so i'm sure they'll come back and paint it all once all the drilling \ patching work is completed.

Even with the water back on the temple looks so sad. Hopefully DW can sort what ever is going on soon.

It's a concept you could get AI to do while sitting on the dunny.

What's really letting it down is the support. They've clearly spent a fair bit of money on the sign, so it's surprising they went with something that I could knock up in the back shed on a Saturday afternoon while drinking a six pack of beer.

Thanks for sharing more photos. I do like that they’ve updated it, but I still think it needed to be at least 20% larger so it proportionally felt right

Considering where this is being considered, and considering the new DW logo, whatever they do they will need to be very careful about the skyline from the carpark/M1. Blocking off ST will certainly affect that, as it and the tower are really the two that have the most visibility. The rendering done by the LLM botched the scale terribly. The hotel compared to ST is laughable. Yeah I know it is just a mood board, but geez - there's actual concept artists that would have done a much better job of it.

Here’s some more photos of the new sign that I took during my visit today.

The water features are back!

Waterfall is up and running on the Temple! Looks great!

Went in today, and a lot has changed. I spoke to a worker and they said there should be about 6 towers. I've currently worked out 5. Top area now has a slab and the start of the course The pole as you enter is not there, but as you look down a bit further, there is a completed one. Behind the toilets near the giraffes they were putting in the base of one, and near the rhino there will be one, but that land has only cleared. The main final decent one in the area pictured above has also been mostly completed. The contractor seems to be Dopplemayr. Mural in the process of being painted This is pole 2, unless it's been shifted and becomes pole 1 The base behind the giraffes Final descent What i assume is tower 2 from the other side of the park

Given most passholders have this as an inclusion, I didn't expect them to do much.

Tickets are now on sale All rides appear scheduled to be open at this time. Entertainment lineup appears identical to recent years, as does the upcharges. Apparently the Xmas tree has been redecorated which I’m sure will be a highlight..

I had lots of thoughts here but i'll go with this one. The general public sentiment towards Dreamworld and Village at the moment would tend to agree.

You need to read what was leading into this. The "capital work" in progress represents money already spent on a project. Given that $1.9 million had already been invested, it's certainly plausible that this relates to the proposed hotel. However, just because Village has written it off, meaning it can no longer be carried as an asset on its books, doesn't mean the project is dead. They could still revisit it or restart the development down the track. If Village are bleeding money this could simply be smart accounting. Once and if it's confirmed the hotel is dead, refer back to my post about. "Another hotel dream bites the dust" Interesting DW gets a positive article while Village gets a negative one, on the same day. In other news. WnW is doing a bumper trade trade today with this hot, hot, day. This should help with the books.

Got a little ahead of myself and misread this part, but I’m sure most of us could agree that for them to say a development has been axed, this is the first one that comes to mind.

This is a bit of clickbait. Nowhere in the article does it say the theme parks are making a loss. The $38.6 million loss is for the entire Village group, which includes the cinemas and other businesses. That doesn't mean the parks are doing well, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they're financially in the poop, but the article doesn't provide the figures to prove it.
