It's on the site of the former Thunder River Rapids.

In the DC Rivals construction thread, people were demanding new photos often and it was very bad form. People are not going to go to SW just to get pics for this thread. Be patient, and then happy when new photos are uploaded by a generous member of the forum. With DCR, it was easy to get pics on people's commutes as we were spoiled. There isn't the same opportunity with Leviathan.

Considering the lack of new attractions at the moment across the board (SW aside), maybe only getting memberships every 2nd or 3rd year isn't a bad idea. Even then I'd only get the VRTP one after Leviathan (maybe wait until after Trident) has opened. Haven't been to DW since before the accident, and the only new thing is SV, with no less than 4 major rides closed. Yes, there's a thing to be said about supporting your park through the tough times. But it's not enough for the general public, only the enthusiasts. Apologies, we are quite OT here. Again the topic of DL in Australia has been put to rest upthread.

Will Vortex be as loud as Wipeout? 🤔

Likely a Covid safe plan, with only staff touching the belts.

Yep last time it was raised it here we all raved about it. Worth a re-watch soon I reckon.

Next milestone: track placement?

According to the plans with the red and green, it's still going around blue lagoon and the maintenance shed. It's just moved a bit closer to GD on the run to the main station to make room for the coaster.

Huh? GCI, RMC and Gravity Group might want to refute that.

Wow - one of the Aquariums sponsored by a Cigarette Brand.

I see what you did there...

Thanks for the pics! I'm taking bets on the water effect on the Vortex sign being permanently switched off by the middle of next year due to "cost saving".

Respect to @mssveattck and @Jobe for having a civil discussion. You both had your say and it didn't devolve.

...which sub?

Note that Avengers Campus will be open later this year at DL & DW, so Galaxy's Edge may not be as bad as it was pre-pandemic.

To clarify - VRTP got them to do the official render.

I'm surprised how much room there is north of Leviathan, when you include the land east of Jet Rescue it's significant.

No room there, after my longed for RMC Hybrid goes in. 😛

I believe there's still plenty on the Murray and Darling rivers. However I think a brand new one would have to be made for the Murrisippi.

I wonder if @rummy is still about. They were pretty cluey with track pieces/elements in the DCR thread.

Some members in that thread were sitting on a chunk of inside info that they couldn't share until it had been done elsewhere/officially. I expect that to be the case with this one as well. This coaster will be harder for construction pics to be taken. At MW we just poked the cameras through the fence. This ride isn't that accessible unless you're there during opening hours. The western side of GD will have a commanding view. At least the POV is out, so us stitching the layout together like DCR isn't required. I expect photos of track pieces (if stored in the carpark and not at Blue Lagoon) to be dissected.

Came here to say this. Re-theme the current Kids WB area to be a teens area, so Teen Titans, Young Justice, Gotham Academy, etc. Plenty of IP to theme some good rides and attractions. In my fantasy world, SDSC2 and AA are removed, keeping the Sound Stage and putting a facade up to separate WB Kids from SE and DC-land. (This is if I can't have my western RMC Hybrid encompassing AA thru to WWF.)

...might have to be a dark ride being so close to (real) sound stages.

Two things: I've downloaded those vids before they're deleted. The Production building below. If it is relocated, the land that this and AA occupies could allow for a very roomy ride.
