In news that will suprise few, both Leviathan and Trident have been pushed back to Easter 2022.

HOLY CRAP talk about waking the dead! Welcome back to the land of the living @Flea!!! I guess they're just lucky you were available...

Here’s a couple of screenshots from the video of areas not yet photographed/seen

Oh what a world we live in. Ironic to think Dreamworld and Luna Park Sydney will lead the charge this year for the industry when it comes to ride openings. I suppose now I can wait until Easter and see if Leviathan even opens then.

I'm sure the Leviathan blog can tell us more about the delays! https://themeparks.com.au/blog/leviathan-construction

Dreamworld only has 2 thrill ride operating today, The Gold Coaster and Pandamonium

I never said I wanted a replica, nor did I actually say the word replica at any point. You assumed my opinion in the previous thread purely because I enquired about your opinion in good faith. You've then used your assumed opinion as a defence. Ironically, you've gone on a rampage when folks have pointed out you actually said the thing you keep saying you didn't say, and shifted the goal posts to try and defend your stance. Sounds like you've got more of a problem with me than my opinion. That's fine, either way, i'd encourage everyone to better use their time by engaging in opinion not semantics and trying to understand and respect opinions instead of outright cutting other members down purely because you have a different opinion. Remember, opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. I'd love to see the idea of a chairlift make a return. The views of the endeavour ship, the ski shows, the rides and the dolphin nursery were ace. As @New display name suggested, it'd be pretty silly to build a replica - it'd be like re-building the Thunderbolt in 2021 for some nostalgia wank-fest. I don't even know why anyone would think to build a replica - why rebuild old when you can build new stuff that's better? The Pirate Ship was a great filler flat ride that families could enjoy together. Viking's Revenge was the same deal.

Wow. Takes a good layout to an excellent one. There isn't a dull moment from start to finish and it doesn't appear to be overwhelmingly nauseating like I expected it to be. Good play by DW.

I definitely think the Tailwhip 360 is perfectly fine. They could easily just state in the experience description that it’s a spinning seat. I can imagine people will eventually just start referring to it as Tailwhip anyways. Even the acronym is too long for Parkz “T360SS”

Our parks seem to love pointlessly long attraction names "Wild West Falls Adventure Ride" instead of just Wild West Falls "Justice League 3D - The Ride" instead of just Justice League (Perhaps Justice League 3D) and the worst offender "Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation" if that was on a T-Shirt they couldn't sell any size under 2XL or the name wouldn't fit. I can't wait to go back to Disney and ride "Space Mountain Intergalatic Coaster Ride" and "The Pirates of The Carribean Adventerous Boat Ride" I don't hate the name Tailwhip or even Tailwhip 360⁰ but it doesn't need the spinning seat in my eyes. My guess is they included that so people didn't get confused it was a completely different attraction.

Bounty model maxes out at 70 degrees. It isn’t counterweighted and can’t do a full revolution.

May as well open the gates for free and offer a “free trial”

Wow, I feel dumber from having read the last dozen or so posts!

Pirate ship that can invert, 2 queue lines, 1 for intense, 1 for gentle. yaayyyy

After the MCBR it looks legit so intense.

Sent around with 1 dummy to get most spinning effect for the video.

At least with a 50 year pass you might get a chance of riding leviathan without having to renew your pass

You're right. You said replica. Them your words. Vikings made use of the land available at the time, and the castle. It was then integrated into Bermuda because it was already there and removing it was stupid. If Skyway was still standing in it's original install configuration, I couldn't call it terrible - it's better than no skyway at all. They've done zero worthy alterations to the land the skyway occupied. So skyway wasn't terrible. I wouldn't advocate for them to bring it back in the same configuration. Nor would I ask them to do that with Log Flume (although it has been said that the trough is most likely in reasonable condition and all it would need is new boats which is a damn sight cheaper than building a whole new log flume from scratch.) Pirate was meh. it was good because it didn't invert and that let the more easily intimidated visitors give a swinging ship a try without worrying about the 'upside down' part like Bounty's revenge always had. I'd like for them to install a modern ride of similar experience - take a look at Luna Park Sydney's new lineup for some inspirations. Bottom line - if all three of those attractions still operated today in their 'of the time' configuration, I wouldn't be upset. None of their footprints have been taken over by any new installation, and they could coexist happily in the parks line-up which would, overall, improve a guest's experience simply by volume alone. BUT since all of them HAVE been removed, they should bring a modern simile to the park that offers a similar ride type or experience, but with improvements or advancements on the tech of the 80s to keep current with today's trends and systems.

Why would they just build an identical version of a ride they closed? Of course when people are suggesting a log ride to be brought back to Sea World they are talking about a modern version not just reopening Viking's Revenge as is. Viking's revenge was a favourite attraction that crossed demographics. I can assure you more than one person would be happy if it was brought back.

I think a 50th event would have been great. BUT... With the timeline for new Atlantis slipping, you're now in a situation at SW that as well as Viking's, you now have Monorail and Leviathan as SBNO rides. I don't think now is a great time to hold such an event where the park to casual guests looks worse than it ever has (despite an upwards trajectory). I don't think that's why Village didn't do a 50th event, but I also don't think it's a great idea to do a big marketing push before the park is ready for it. Also quick aside: the ski pyramid used to depart from the ski dock, you could totally do one with the lake in its current configuration.

Double Barrel is indeed complete and the final drop for Kaboom is in place too
