More change have been made

The theme park social network have said that there is a chance it could be open in August. I wouldn't say this is the most reliable source, but thought I'd post it. I know the issue was with the car, but do people think there is a chance that track may been to be replaced or modified?

Dreamworld have released the new pass with entry until June 2016. They have brought back the Buy 3 get 1 Free offer. And they have said that the new motor sport attraction will be opening this summer.

^The Big Red Boat is staying the same, it's the Captain Feather swords ship that is changing.

Pathways are starting to be installed. There appears to be a lot of gravel and sand in the background.

^Yes the signage was updated

I doubt that they would be re branding. I would say they are expanding the area and adding a couple more attractions maybe.

My guess is the new attraction will either be something for wiggles world (probably this since the sign is gone) or the new v8 supercar attraction that was announced earlier in the year.

From VRTP perspective they should make the prices more expensive as then their profit would be greater and they may be able to add more attractions, or improve current attractions. But from a general publics perspective, they won't pay higher prices now. VRTP set the bar by making them $99, if they increased the price now, their sales would probably reduce and Dreamworld's would probably increase if they didn't increase their prices. I would say that most people would want value for money. If they increased the prices, people would question and expect a lot more. That's just my opinion.

^Yeah that shop is completely gone now

I agree, but they may still be doing upgrades to the themeing for a couple of months. They aren't rushing into it all, but hopefully once they have finished the update it will all make sense, and the show will have a decent story to it. The new vehicle will help out with the themeing as well I think:

The set of HSD2 has got a few more new additions. Hopefully once the changes are finished the updated show will be a lot better than what they've got going now

I've only been there once when I wa younger and all I remember about it was the monorail/train. I remember it went up a hill past this lake where some mechanical creature came out of the lake and sprayed water. Once it got to the top of the hill it went around a couple of corners and then we got off and walked around the banna trees

^I just had a look on SWs page and people have asked when it would be opening and SW replied saying this September.

^Despite the bad spelling grammar, I don't think it is a teenager. There are photos of a man on a number of photos of him with characters, or him visiting different parks across the world. I have also seen him at MW before taking photos. I would say he must have some connections with VRTP because sometimes he has posted behind the scenes photos. I'd recommend that he changes the name to 'The Movie World, Sea World and Disneyland Social Network'

Gold Coast Theme Parks have posted this on their FB

Thanks for those photos. SW aren't messing around with it.

This shows how much land was reclaimed: I also hope that they don't use all of that land that I outlined, but I'm thinking that they will. I don't think that the will use SV old site, for me it just seems out of place and too tucked away for flat rides and small coaster. I'm imagining that this upgrade will be like DW's upgrade to their kids area, they will re-arange the rides and install a few more rides. But for an additional 4 rides including a kids coaster, I don't think that the left side of the reclaimed land will be enough. Just my opinion

In my opinion I would say that the new kids area will take up the red area, with the roller coaster taking up the blue area (Green area being COTD). I think it would be good if they did theme it around Nickelodeon, but as said the license won't last, so I think a neutral theme like what they have now would be fine.

^i think the hallway illusion refers to the mirror that you look at just before the left turn to the elevator

I'm thinking that it will be permanent. If it is as popular as dinosaur island, then it probably will be. At least it fits the theme better

I don't think they need to do a nickelodeon retheme. I like the theme they have got and the minor message that some rides put through (rubbish in the ocean).

Some more of the sea creatures have been/are being installed:
