But maybe they’ll close COTD, or that will become part of the theme of the coaster. And they have all the reclaimed land just over the water, which could be used for it

Bikash has just confirmed that something cool will be coming to this site

I’m not doubting they have the knowledge for the job at VRTP, it’s more the spirit and service. A lot of the staff won’t even speak to you when you interact with them in some way, whether that’s entering the park, loading a ride, or even ordering food.

I thought the Junior Driving School was what got delayed for the polar bear cube enclosure

I could be wrong on this, but I believe the animals were coming from a zoo down south, and I think the deal/transfer fell through, so the attraction wouldn’t have actually had animals

VRTP should definitely have this sort of thing

Maybe a bird aviary some sort of thing, this is there new plans for the WILD attraction, only 6 years late

There is plenty of stuff happening throughout the park at the moment, which is very good to see. Thunder Lake Stunt Show is under construction (more photos in appropriate topic) Land clearing also happening (More photos in seperate topic) COTD The creatures definitely have seen better days Spongebob Coaster is undergoing a major refurb with an entire repaint happening Additional shading has been installed A more permanent fencing has been added at the log ride station, rather than the green fencing The Reef is under maintenance And the new shading for the dolphin encounter is finished The bridge alongside seal show has also been finished

Construction update

All the trees are being cleared on the hill of COTD and excavation is underway, which makes me think, this could possibly be the location of a new attraction. SlyFlyer is only temporary, so to me makes sense

Nope, just imagine Wipeout without the gondola and arms but still with the arm structure/supports installed

The gondola arms have already been removed

DW promised they would do one, if the families wanted it, so obviously they didn’t want it

The billboard when you travel north has been updated for Cosentino as well as the smaller one just past the main one at DW

GL used to require lockers for a number of years, but they changed that probably about 3-4 years ago, and can use the storage provided

Can't exactly remember when they were added, but they have been there for quite a few years now

@Baconjack I believe there is one more version of the ride in Mexico

So sad to see it go, but we all knew it was coming I agree with @Glubbo, rather than a plain boring area. It would be cool to keep the queue and operations huts, and maybe even add the surfboards somewhere, and if they can, the wave as well

No progress on the slides removal, just construction fencing

This wall is now down, just the alleyway to go

The billboard has been updated again, and the long strip under the main sign now says Coming Soon

It could possibly be Guy Diamond the glitter farting Troll

@Thrill Seeker I’m not sure if this is still the case, but MWs carpark is/was owned by the council (Someone on here will know), so it is likely that the grassed area isn’t allowed to be developed for that reason, and as it is/was used for some events (Christmas Carols). But I do agree that surely they should install the carpark on the blue area, rather than using land nearby. What they should also do is make their current carpark more pedestrian friendly, as there isn’t really any designated path to get the entrance, meaning most people just walk in the lanes. All it would take is removing the end carparks of each row and addings a pedestrian crossing instead. And maybe even finish the gravel area and make that a lined carpark too

Showtime FX have shared a video, and you can see they are constructing something on the island for the show. Good to finally see they are making good use of it instead of trying to sell cars
