That would actually be pretty cool and really bring life back to the vintage cars. Even if they did remove all of the chairlift station and created a tunnel underneath, or kept the river Rapids cave and used part of it for the mine ride, just had some lighting inside it

I thought the exact same to myself. I don't think it's an issue, they may have to dig some dirt out when install the column, but don't think there's any structural issue with it.

Two things I find hilarious in the video: When the lady says 'Yeah I think it went really well' And 'Everyone should be asking for a refund' Okay, so, no it didn't go well. Honestly I don't think it could have gone any worse. I get people have opinions, and some are very strong minded about their beliefs and stand by it, and good for you. But don't for a second think you can go to a place like this, where families are enjoying themselves, and kids can't wait to enjoy the beauty of the dolphins, and then people like you come along and ruin it for all of them. And secondly, so does that mean you went and asked for a refund to, because how else did you get in. I doubt you broke in. So you bought a ticket or have a pass, and despite providing access to the other parks, it too provides a support to SW, and paradise country who also has animals. And the fact that two off duty police officers who were probably enjoy their day, and they then had to leave their families to deal with this is rediculous. Again, people have their options and I understand that, but when you have to go out your way and end up ruining people's day, that just isn't on.

Nearmap takes the images over a period over time and not at once, so when it overlayed and joined together you get something like that.

In his image you can see a couple still do have them on, but I do agree with what you are saying @YLFATEEKS

The Sea World monorail will be temporarily closed to paint the tracks from Mon 20/03/17 to Sun 02/04/17 then from: Mon 24/04/17 to Sun 07/05/17

Well here it is, freshly cut grass. And it now really shows the huge amount of footings there are.

Well maybe Wipeout will open before the end of the month, and then instantly close again

The layout and track was locked in for GL, there was just confusion what record it held, whether it was in the world or Southern Hemisphere

@YLFATEEKS 3 or 4, and there was a ute too. I didn't drive into MW to see, just observed while stopped at the lights

When I went past not that long ago there were a number of workmen, doing what appeared to be using a strimmer on some parts of it

I wouldn't count Surfrider or Shockwave as a coaster either. But I would count TOT and Storm as coasters

I don't see that WWF meets as a coaster. It may have a coaster styled section, but no one says let's go on that awesome coaster at MW, Wild West Falls. But it still is an interesting argument, and with all the different variations and technologies, the true definition for a coaster is not set.

When the grass gets cut, it will be even closer to installtion time

WWF isn't a coaster, it's a log ride. Storm coaster isn't a traditional coaster, but a water coaster, so I wouldn't class it as a roller coaster. I personally think a roller coaster is a track ride which uses gravity as it's main form of movement, and it doesn't matter how it moved from the station, whether it's with tyres, lift hill or launch. I would say TOT2 is a roller coaster (steel shuttle roller coaster to be specific). It may not be the traditional styled roller coaster, but I'd say it is a roller coaster.

Looking at photos and videos of the flash, and comparing it to footings on site now, I'm going to say that the left part of the coaster in the image above will be similar in the coaster we get and would happen here If the coaster does have an inversion, similar to the barrel roll on the flash, it would happen around here And the top of the lift hill and the large banking drop will happen here This is all just speculation and comparing the footings, so obviously could be wrong.

Storm is getting some work done on track Dora is getting new seating Whale still isn't back

This is where it is, good to see they got rid of the storm coaster sign. Seating is also currently being installed

^You do make a good point there. Maybe have the JetSki show at lunch, but then have a major show at 4. I think, that despite the Pirate show they had a few years back, not being the best, a stunt show would be great. I'm thinking like Water World, but it doesn't have to be on that type of scale. You could have structures built on the island, and zip lines to the mainland, and create a good story, with fire and water effects. And have those few seats at the bottom where people may get wet. The Waterworld show is the best stunt show I've seen, and bringing something like that back would be great.

I think it's good they've added this type of show and really allows for people to be educated more. And also something else to do with the lack of rides currently.

Get to know some of the beautiful dolphins that call Sea World home with the new daily, Our World of the Dolphin presentation at Sandy Shores Lagoon. Learn about these incredible mammals and the environment they call home, as well as Sea World’s ongoing rescue and rehabilitation activities. Conservation, education and research are core values of everything we do at Sea World and we hope together we can actively support and protect the world of the dolphin and their precious ocean home. Our World of the Dolphin Presentation time: 12.30pm daily at Sandy Shores Lagoon

Good news, the LED flashing strip around the roof has returned Bad news, the Lego logo has been removed from front of store, but backlight is still in place

They might have resolved it since I last visited during a presentation, but first time anyone on here has taken notice

When I last when and watched a presentation early January, they weren't doing any of that and it was definitely a pain when trying to get out with prams everywhere, and for the kids down at the front steps, they couldn't see the tigers. So was good they released the issue and resolved it.

Also something I noticed during today's presentation, is they put up a temporary barrier on either side of the seats down at the front, to stop people standing/walking along during the show. As in the past, people would stand right in front of someone and then they can't see anything. And they also were stopping people from taking prams up into the seating, and directing them to the pram holding area.
