It didn’t look like it reached anywhere near its max speeds or G-Forces in that video. Maybe they are testing it out through some cycles to make sure it runs fine before trying the more intense final cycle. I hope that’s the case, because most of that cycle looked underwhelming.

Sea World's Vortex thrill ride commences testing ahead of expected December opening Footage has emerged of Sea World's heavily anticipated new ride undergoing testing ahead of its expected opening this summer. Click here to continue reading

Continuing on from this comment, I was just watching the concept video and you can see a path cutting through the site from BS to GD is there (Right side of images). So either they have changed their minds (which I hope they haven't) or they just didn't add it in to the concept art

Wow I didn’t even recognise the Little Rippers and great to see they are repainting the sign. They have actually slightly changed the colour scheme too (Maybe they had some leftover paint from the rip. I would love to see them refresh the entire front entrance to the park. It has been used for some time now, instead the guest services entrance has been used, but with them bringing back a seperate entry ticket for WWW, I assume they will be using these ticket booths once again. A repaint and pressure washing the ground should bring it back to its original quality

Looks like we will have a night time show at DW/WWW this Summer (which we saw them practising last Summer in Cave of Waves) And I’ve heard a rumour that Cosentino might be returning with a new show too

If this is a success, I predict we will see a Mexican food outlet come to the park. Good to see the park and trailing/offering new things like this

Once Fully 6 opens I think WWW will be the better choice and if they get a lazy river and one more tower with a thrill slide, they will become the superior water park. I’d say that WnW will get a new attraction/a before WWW make their next investment

This latest concept art for the coaster shown at the AGM reveals a few minor details about the area around the ride The coasters entrance/exit will be accessed from the path that leads towards the old Big Brother photo building (or whatever it was used for). I wonder if that building will be demolished? The path to the BuzzSaw will have a viewing platform on it and will still be a dead end within the park I know this is only concept art, but I do hope they theme the station building to match the BuzzSaw’s (if they are wanting to keep the theme for this area of the park). I was also hoping for a pathway to link BS and GD (like there used to be) to allow for better flow through this area of the park. Obviously some form of netting or roof would be needed over the path for safety reasons.

@AlexB continuing on from what we discussed, it doesn’t seem like there will be any switch backs at the top because it looks quite small and it looks like there would only be enough room on the stairs to split it in half.

12pm Update. 4 slides now complete, 3 more pieces to go for the blue slide, and then the rest of the pieces for the 6th and final slide

Forseeable future for DW, new coaster is built, then delayed opening for 6 months, then Giant Drop and maybe Buzzsaw are both removed
