WhiteWater World Construction Discussion

[Swanny]

I think it's great how they've utilised the space by moving into the cyclone area.

[lisalila]

I think the green/aqua colour goes well with a water park and the bright colours give it that 'fun' feeling. Using the cyclone space brings the cyclone more into the park imo.

[dreamworld_rulz]

No worries guys. The pics are a bit far away but as Lisa says i don't have access to the construction site. But as they say "Better than nothing"

[Chaos-Maniac]

Great pictures! I personally at the beginning, Didn't like the idea of moving into Cyclone's area. But now that I've seen it in picture, It looks good. Does the slides wrap around the Cyclone at all?

[T-bone]

The slides only go over the Sidewinding area of the Cyclone. And to be honest, it works really well.

[Swanny]

How great will it be to: 1. If you're on the Cyclone duck under the slides and then pretty much after that, hit the sidewinder. 2. If you're on the slides, though they're enclosed you will be able to hear the Cyclone going past.

Parts of the slides have open air sections half way along the tube before going back into the enclosed sections again

well guys, got a new DW pass today. and when lookin into whitewaterworld they are filling the the pool that the cyclone flumes go into, it was half full and were still pumping the water in. the pool is either painted greyish colour or its a dark peepldash, but its not the same as the concrete colour. The bowls fram is in place and so is the exit funnel(with water curtain) there are also a few bright red pieces of slide, which im assuming are for the bowl itsself. the wave pool dosnet look very big(from GD anyhow, the beach area makes it look big, but the actuall deep part were the waves are looks quite small. also from the GD pretty much all the path work is complete(main paths anyhow). as has been mention blue lagoon has been coverd with concrete slab, toboggon pool is still there, flume has been taking down and th toboggon tower. Now the interseting part: what is going on over near big brother, the huge parcel of land that was on the left of the big brother path was all grass and a few trees. Its now completley leveled and has been leved with crusher dust, they were also laying concrete pipes along the side of the big bro path(like storm water pipes) as there was going to be a path layed over them to the new parcel of land.

[Chaos-Maniac]

It could be a resort going in, or a new ride? I'd love to see a new ride!

[aidan]

They wouldnt build a resort or a ride so close too the Big brother house.

Hey what pool was painted? I went to dreamworld yesterday and when on the giant drop I was looking into the water park... Nothing seems to have changed apart from a theming on the wavepool, a few shades going up, and I saw slide parts in the back of the car park... what slide is that? Oh and sorry I forgot, green fencing was being assembled early in the morning, I saw them put it up when getting off the cyclone... damn thats a long exit path when you dont use the emergency exit.

I have heard from numerous sources that the crews are working around the clock to get it ready for opening in December. I have some photos that were taken yesterday (13th) of the park and some of the various attractions. They are not the best photos sorry guys, but better than nothing I guess.. http://www.boomgen.net/splash/www/construc...ber/gallery.htm Feel free to remove the link Richard if I am unable to post links to my own site...

[Chaos-Maniac]

Do we have a final list of slides/rides going into WWW? And, what ones are 'world first's? Also Jagggy, Great pictures. Boomgen is coming along nicely.

There is only one world first which is the racer with 8 lanes which has never been done.

Jaggie - no need to apologise! Those are some of the best and most comprehensive shots I have seen of the park to date. Thanks for posting the link. The park is really starting to look fantastic. The wide shots of the Tornado and Rocket are great, those rides look excellent together. Seriously folks, how much fun is the Rocket going to be! The hills are huge and I still can't believe we are actually getting an uphill watercoaster in Australia. I also noticed the framework for the Bowl in the background of one of those shots and it looks like it's going to be massive. The presentation of the park also seems to be coming along really well. The plants are looking great and I am really liking those shade structures that will be everywhere. I'm very glad to see they painted the support poles for them

[Chaos-Maniac]

Thanks for the list of attractions/rides etc. The park sounds really good, and the pictures show it too. However my question is: What type of slides/attractions do you see WWW adding in future years?

[mattcrombie]

I see them building a Lazy river run. Not sure where though.

[dreamworld_rulz]

Is anyone having probs with the thumb nails? It says " Click a thumbnail to see a larger image." but nothing happens. BTW great pics.

[mattcrombie]

Yeah dreamworld_rulz happened to me, I clicked but nothing opened...I use firefox, i used Internet Explorer and it worked fine. its Pop up blocker i think.

[aidan]

Do you have a pop upblocker? I had to turn mine off too see them. Lol we posted at the exact same time.

[dreamworld_rulz]

Normally i press ctrl and it works. I'll try IE. EDIT : Those pics are awesome. Thanks for posting those.

Correct me if I am wrong anyone but aren't the other slides Australian firsts and not world firsts?

[dreamworld_rulz]

I believe your right Lisa. I think someone mentioned they are both.

[aidan]

Who said they were world firsts? Anywho I was looking in the pictures and im probobly wrong but I can see alot of permament lighting in the park would that just be for night so everyone can see it while driving on the motorway or could it open at night occasionally?
