Here's an update from this afternoon. ST was testing frequently so was able to get some decent footage! Another angle of the sign; looks like the rockwork is shaped so you can sit underneath it: Inspired by a certain other coaster's signage perhaps? Buzzsaw getting cleared may open up a potential viewing area of the launch. I'd also like to see some audio tied to it, similar to what they're doing with the Road Runner Refurb.

Ahh interesting. Will it get painted over?

Clip of the testing yesterday stv.mp4 One seat had a water dummy enjoying the ride! More dummies sitting out Wonder what happened here? Station artwork! \ ST's now on the park map! Here's my newest construction update video:

The theming and facades in the show building have been taken down. The Smoking area has also been brought forward, blocking off the WWW and Studio Showcase area further:

Destination Dad n Daughter got it on video!

Oh no, they forgot to include 'Next Generation'!

I wonder what spurred this unparalleled and brave move?

Guess I should have done, just didn't want to toot my own horn too much, so to speak. Oh well... toot toot!

Saw one of the Trains on the track today getting moved into the maintenance room!

Taken on Monday. The basic structures for the Gatsby and Shazam facades are (were?) still up. A few construction workers were around but couldn't see much else!

Can you give some more vague hints, so when the coaster gets announced we can go "ahhhh, that's what they meant"!

You're correct!

Found this on a recent Vikings Revenge YT video. Naturally take with multiple grains of salt...

Also had a great day at MW. The atmosphere was amazing. Characters everywhere. Happy guests. Good operations on the rides by Movie World standards, too! Seeing Marvin 3D again was a great throwback and a lot of fun. The crowd in my showing were absolutely loving it - replace Yogi with this please! Parade was surprisingly good. Lots of character both old and new, with the new Gremlin float being my personal highlight. Great stuff! 👍

Fencing was back during the event tonight 😜

I agree you can't keep everything, but with something as iconic (even to a small degree) as ride signs I think you should do what you can to preserve them. As Gazza said, some parks publicly display their past, ranging from small displays (Europa Park) to full on museums (Cedar Point). Universal even has a shop in Islands of Adventure where they sell old Park items directly to the public. What would I do with it? Put it up for auction, either for profit or charity? Donate it? Reuse it down the line? Even putting it out the back would be an option. Would give the employees something it look at. 😜 At least give the options a go before heading to the skip. That's all I ask.

Taken from the gate by the Wild West facade: Also got a split second look at... something. Looks like it's Superman related: mwvideo.mp4

Awesome stuff. Having never ridden this I was worried it might follow Arkam by becoming an SBNO eyesore!

That was sad to watch... Wish Dreamworld took better care of preserving their history.

Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce is outta here! Lex is back after a sabbatical.

Lockers!

Memphis Belle?

Here's a few photos from Thursday afternoon. You can now see clearly into the shed that's housing the rest of the boats. Can't remove a ride without your trusty Rake! The Dryer's been moved out of the site. I also have a couple of update videos with footage from over the last two days if you'd like to see more: https://www.youtube.com/c/OgreMagic

Is it back to being free? Last I checked the option was disabled and replaced with "pay xxx to get on now!"

Were there meant to be more episodes? I was under the impression that was it, as the last episode was filmed shortly before Covid closed the UK parks.
