@pushbutton I'd say that black board will have Aquaman on it, hence the water and shark. And then within that space I imagine there will be one of his villains. The name is DC Rivals, so I'd say that as you move through the queue you will see battles between rivalling characters of the DC Universe, and then in the station will be the Rival between Batman and the Joker.

Theming is progressing also (Photo from TPG)

My update for the morning. As you can see the next lot of track is being lifted in, before the final support is installed. Stairs have also have begun to be installed on the lift hill And the metal piping that's been at the back of the carpark for months, has just been loaded into a truck, and moving to Top Golf

The electrical systems need to be installed and tested first before we see the track go around, but I imagine at the end of the month/early September.

Turns out they were also a part of the construction of the Villains area and Tiger Island

That has only taken them about 2 hours from it being on the ground, to that. Wow, that's incredible, and can't believe how tall it is. WOW.

Well the final piece of track is scheduled to be installed on Thursday, and I'd say they will install the Joker head while they have this massive crane on site, otherwise they will have to get it back (That's if the Joker head has arrived on site). So maybe we could see it installed on Friday. And I doubt they would cover it up.

Todays update

@LORD_Noodle just the discovery centre

This mornings update The 350 tonne crane is being constructed, with dozens of workmen on site, and another entrance for workers into the area is being used Construction for the lift hill continues More pieces of stuff on site Track ready to be installed Track and support inspections continue throughout the area And these markings and pipes are out the front

I doubt they would want to, or have the time to re theme the whole ride. The ride is closed for 7 weeks, and highly doubt that there would be enough time to remove all of the Scooby Doo theming, and then reinstalled new theming. And the ride is very popular and iconic for the park, not just for the experience, but the SD theming really adds to it. When they reinstall the theming, if they have just replaced it, I'll be quite happy with that, but if they've taken the opportunity to upgrade it and enhance the experience, that will be even better.

Ignore this, photos already posted.

COTD indoor exhibit is closing August 7.

Technically DW copied (And I wouldn't say copied, as there's nothing fancy about the name) SW as it was called Cub Kindy when Henry was born.

Last year the dodgems closed mid June, this year it was scheduled for the beggining of July, but was removed a couple of days before. If they were going to build another shed, they would've begun by now.

So I'd say that the event is officially always called, park after dark, and they change the end part depending on the theme for the night.

They have? https://www.ekka.com.au/entertainment/rides

Time for todays update, and a few things that have gone un-noticed and some inside goss. Firstly, a shout to the guys from LOGAN STEEL who are constructing the coaster. Awesome work guys. So, as shown by @Jakev8 the first pieces of track for the lift hill have been installed today. I've been told the lift hill will be completed next week, with a 350 tonne crane arriving at the start of the week. And the chain should be installed end of next week, beginning of the following week. And then the track will be done, and the electricians will take over. The stairs and other pieces of track and supports are ready for installation The first piece of theming can be seen, along with some of the other walls which will form part of it (As we saw in the video). Could this part link to Aquaman with the shark and ocean water seen? I've been told that the drop will actually be steeper than 90 degrees as you go over the top, and will twist as it drops down. Few other things around the site What is this? And a support missing for the air time hill And a few nice shots of the track

Not major, but some of the text on the mobile website overlaps

It operated for two weeks (Around the same amount of time as the vintage cars operated back in December) in mid March after reopening from its audit, but it was always scheduled for maintenance anyways, but was originally planned to reopen at the end of April. Then kept getting its date pushed back, until the date was removed all together.

What is ages is that Wipeout has been closed since March. But it's nice to actually have an opening date. Same for the Vintage Cars, looking forward to seeing what they've done to make it provide an exciting new experience.

I think in regards to the loading and unloading of rides, it can sometimes come down to the day and staff that are on. I've gone to the park sometimes and operations of most of the rides are very quick and efficient, while other days they are not. It can come down too the amount of staff that are on, but the majority of the times I go, it is during the off peak period and staff numbers are usually around the same.

Thats what I was thinking @Skeeta, however if the second train hasn't arrived yet, that might be the one they will have on display for assembly and for use for the advert. Or they are waiting on the other parts of the train to arrive, and for now they've closed the container shut.

Yes, Rivals is steeper

Okay @JaggedJanine, they are definitely new.
