What do people think about the current brick retaining wall going and the new retaining wall being finished in a render finish? I wonder if DW will render the remaining brick retaining walls to match it into the new retaining wall.

Rode the UFO at expo and an older guy was doing the same thing on the opposite side of the ride. He got off went up to his wife and they walked off like nothing had happened. Fun times.

It was always a just a matter of time.

You nailed it @reanimated35. Fast passes were over sold and at 9pm they were still trying to sell them everywhere. I went on the second night and at one point for Wyrmwood, the Fast pass line was longer then the beggars line. I did have a good night. A wise man told me “Once you have salt on chips you never go back” This year Fright Nights was the chips without the salt. Or fish without the lemon.

@Ryande16 You could clear this up by giving us the link to the video.

Wouldn't matter were it came from @Jamberoo Fan Mack wouldn't start a rumour.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out his talking shit.

His talking out of his ass.

You really like your showbags.

I dont know the full layout of everything and how they are going to set it all out. I was told by my secret agent where I placed the first aid room was the correct location. The other 3 rooms I do not know what they are for. One might be a store room for the lego store.

@Jamberoo Fan My guess. I also think they might change the existing shops so you can enter them from the marketplace. I think the marketplace is going to be one large dining area and kitchen that can also be utilised when DW have events under the outside roof area. If they don't have access into the shops from the marketplace maybe the will add some windows between them to get extra natural light into the marketplace. Photo from @Theme Park Ninja shows a temp wall in place. Which I suspect will be removed once construction finished.

You're very good at this. All you have to do is where you have the thoroughfare from the marketplace back towards the entry of DW is to block that off and turn it into a first aid room.

@reanimated35 Happy now?

@AlexB as always 100% correct. No mezzanine to Lego Store. A bit more information. A new entry next to the Lego Store into the new Market Place will be built. (You won’t have to go through the Lego Store to get into the new market place area). @Jamberoo Fan Can you add the new entry to your artist impression, it's on the right.

Push would lose his shit if that ever went in. You have reminded me of something. Extended golf carts. More to come about them at a latter date.

You missed a couple of things. Skeet got your back.

You get a great view of the M1. What more would a person want. @Jamberoo Fan(Fence poles around swamp going up on page 16 of coaster construction).

@Jamberoo Fan I think you might need to re-think your sources. Nothing better then this site to get to the bottom of things. Brad2912 broke the story in November last year. (They also said they would announce it in the coming months and that was almost a year ago.) djrappa knew all along but has the best poker face. This was discovered late November. It took Th GB till DEC 19 to publish anything and if you read the article the info came from this site. In regards to the Hotel, nothing was in the financial docs this year so this could be years away. The thing that is yet to reveal itself is why build a new car park off site that would coast loads more than upgrading the current overflow car park? MW shows the new overflow car park will be a sealed car park with flashy gardens. If the new car park goes ahead the council has said that MW will need to upgrade Kopps Road. If MW are willing to spend that money on the new car park than why have we never seen the current overflow car park sealed and set out to maximise its area? I don’t know the answers and maybe MW will have 2 overflow car parks. Maybe MW have future plans for that area that we don’t even know about. Maybe MW just wants to hold onto that land. I always say when it comes to this stuff, I'm 99% wrong. Things change constantly at the parks and somethings never go ahead. All we can do is do a running commentary.

I think it was the neighbors complaining about it that brought it out in the open.

@lifeofsamage The only area that I could see MW reclaim for TopGolf would be the overflow car park which I mentioned at the start. @Jamberoo FanIn one of the latest ASX annonsments it say TopGolf construction will not start until 2017. “FY16 was a year in which a number of projects came to fruition. This includes two management agreements in Asia and significant design and planning to bring Topgolf to Australia. Construction of the first Topgolf site is planned to start in CY17, to open in FY18. “ Also in the release it talks about Go Carts. This Go Carts thing is throwing me. Everywhere I have looked it up it says Go Carts and not Go Karts??????????. The other thing to mention and I think we all first read this as MW adding Go Karts to the Stunt show but it clearly says to introduce between existing shows. “A new initiative is the introduction of Hollywood Stunt Driver 2: Go Carts into the liveshow arena between existing shows.” http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20160825/pdf/439mjrt2jy6hcl.pdf

Your image overlaps the coaster by a long way. Why would they build a permanent fence around the swamp and pull it down again in 8 weeks?

Cheers. That's why I posted it first.

With this being discussed about in most topics and construction starting soon it might be time to for its own topic. We all know TopGolf is going to take up a lot of land but where will this baby go. From what information we have out there, I believe that TopGolf Australia will be based on the one located in Las Vegas. To get this topic going I have scaled the images together using AutoCAD and tried to position it into likely locations. This is the location I think some people think it will go. Only thought I have on this one is why fence the swamp if you're going to need to pull it down again. This options makes some sense to me but is does mean the number 1 filming tank needs to relocated and it’s not your everyday backyard pool. On the flip side, removing the filming tank could open up the whole area up to MW. Overflow car park. This could be why MW is planning a new car park. I would think MW would want the new car park finished first before any constructed happened in this area. MW saying construction to start this year might be referring to constructing the car park in readiness to resume the current overflow car park. Which leaves current area behind AOS. We know a new show is coming and maybe MW have new plans for the animals. In this location I can still see 6 stables left for MW to use. Maybe AOS new show will only need half the amount of animals in it. @AlexB can I have an image of the new sound stage. This could all be undone by its location.

Looking at the footers it looks like the walls are going to be concrete blocks at the base

This is the footer in question that I took a photo of earlier. It looked like every other footer and I believe what @AlexB is saying is correct. When I look at the layout I in the red zone it reminds of the cluster of columns for the loop.
