Just found out the show will be recorded from SW, but will also have parts from WnW too

Not any more, they are going to be live from Wet n Wild instead. Probably because of the massive amount of backlash the show received on social media for visiting the park.

Maybe because FN is on September 30, and Magic Happens was the same night. So DW might be playing it safe by pushing the date that far back, so they are able to get maximum crowds and nothing else to compete with.

We have only seen an animated POV so far, not an actually recording from the train.

If you look closely at this photo (Posted by Theme Parks All in One), between each seat, and on the front Ros railing there is something rectangular that is fitted. Could this be on board cameras for Fast Video? As I haven't seen a ride photo camera anywhere around the track.

I've heard 130 minimum too

And for those things its been pushed back to Saturday 4th October. You'd be wrong, its been pushed back to November. I was really hopefully they do a Halloween one, but maybe not with Magic Happens the weekend after.

Happy to see the roofers off the vintage cars, and with all the vegetation around the track, it should hardly make any difference. And good to see they've finally put a proper fence up at that entrance for Tiger Island

In the Village Roadshow report it states: "Village Roadshow Studios delivered an all time record result and are fully leased until May 2018"

I do hope to see the Castaway Bay theme extended into this new interactive splash zone, as that would really complete the area.

There is currently construction happening throughout the area And this is at that remains for the Mammoth Plunge tower

^The precinct they had in there last year, despite being quite small, was really good and also allowed for quick access through the park when needed. When I was at the park last week, there was fencing up at the AA end of the alley (Next to the car) and there were tonnes of sealed crates behind it. Because I hadn't been to the park in a while, I don't know how long they've been there, but could be part of FN (maybe).

I imagine the back seats will be very popular (even if it is an upcharge), and no I don't think they could easily just change it. The train was built like this, and highly doubt the seats have been designed to have the seats changed. They will be fixed in position like all the other seats. So if for whatever reason they did want to change it, they'd have to get a whole new carriage.

I probably wouldn't keep providing updates if it wasn't for its location, but I am definitely keen to try it out when it opens.

Or just multiple scenes in the different locations to make the one TVC

When you go to buy FN tickets it offers you the general admission and redeem tickets, but what is the VIP Admission for FN Members?

Well QLD school holidays start in a couple of weeks, so I'd say they will push for a soft opening around then, but if Mack aren't satisfied or work still needs completing, then it could be towards the end of the month before we get the soft opening. With the amount of continuous testing they were doing yesterday, it is a positive sign. Another comment I will make is yesterday during the testing, I was interested to see how the fins would effect the ride, and as you can probably see in the videos I posted, it doesn't effect it that much. You can hear them having an effect, and the train slightly slowing down, but otherwise I'm not worried about it drastically changing the ride experience.

Closer look at some of theming, and the back of the train (Photos TPSN)

The first posts around the permitter have been installed, with plenty more on site ready to be lifted into place.

They were running two trains in the testing this afternoon, and as soon as one reached the brake run, the next one would leave. I recorded many videos, which I've added below. But here are a few photo updates first. Look at it in action A path is being laid leading from the main road and down along side the coaster Landscaping is complete and the carpark is slowly returning EDIT: Here are a couple of those videos of the ride in testing

I think something similar to how they did the roof over for the queue for DD at MW would be good and would fit well with the ascetic of the ride.

Just seen the photo, but I don't think it is the airtime hill, it looks more like the Stengel Dive. @Slick???

@Santa07Have they been installed and if so, where on the track?
