Seaworlds New 2006 Attraction

[Chaos-Maniac]

They aren't wasting time with this. I hope it's as good as we are hoping it to be.

I was at the spit on Sunday and all I could see was a small-ish crane near the Pirate Ship. Is it just me or are all the parks getting things up REALLY fast these days. Whitewater World came together REALLY fast, Batwing almost flew up (pardon the pun) and now the Seaworld Eye. Good on all the parks! Great to see!

Might just be the rush to get it open for the hollies next month? they get alot of money during the Christmas period.

Well at the end of the day, Seaworld Eye is a traveling wheel, and as such, it's most likely to have been designed to be assembled quickly.

Here is the Pics I mentioned i would post. There was a Massive storm earlyer and the power went out. Only got 2. I will get some Better ones with my Digital Cam sometime soon

[Chaos-Maniac]

Wow, It looks bigger that I thought it would be. Will this have lights on it, kinda like Luna Park's ferris wheel does?

[mattcrombie]

Yes It will have lights all around it.

Yeh, I agree Ozcoasterfreak. They seem to be really organised with the timeing and everything. It basically looks like WVTP's have made to rides in two days!!! Anyway, thanks for the pics matt. The wheel looks really good and will changs Seaworld's skyline for ever. CoasterBoy6

Great pics matt. I don't normally visit SW but will make an exception when i visit in Feb. Also havn't been to SW since 04.

The Gondala's have now been added and Lights from the base makes it a massive eye opener when travelling past at night from Southport. I will try and get pics.

[lisalila]

I got one pic today while going past, its not a close up or anything (I did try and get one but failed)

[mattcrombie]

[aidan]

Ive done a big update from dirt to lots of vertical http://ozcoaster.net/content/view/34/1/

[lisalila]

Thanks Rabid. That's going to give a great view of the surrounding area at 60 metres high. Are the platforms for if it breaks down guests have ways to get out?

I'm loving the pic! the Seaworld eye looks awsome! and it even matches the seaworld theme colours (The whites and blue greens!) looks awsome! But being a Melbourne boy I have to mention that the are building one very simular in the docklands of melbourne! and it is going to be the 2nd biggest 'eye' or (ferris wheel if you can call it that)in the world but I forgot what it was going to be called? so melbourne's skyline will once again change after the eureka building completed!

[Flea]

Thanks for the pics Ian. It looks gorgeous in the park.

[OzCoasterFreek]

I was at the spit on Saturday and the Seaworld Eye looks fantastic! It really stands out and in the best possible way. Plus I think they were testing it as it was moving every now and then, unless of course they had a soft opening? I doubt it though.

[myk]

The Sea World eye was in operation today - not to the public though. I saw it moving then on Nine GC news they had some bimbo reporting about all the new expansions, WWW included.

[<3coasters]

saw that to it was a pretty crapy report i would like to find out what the VIP one looks like aswell. p.s. you no y i like you myk coz you joined up on my b-day yay me lol

[myk]

Yeah on the report they opened it up, it's not that extravagant, just an LCD screen and a fridge. I don't see why you'd want to watch TV with a view like that anyway.

[Theme Park Girl]

Wow it does look great! Better than the empty concrete slab surrounded by palm trees that they had there during my work duration anyway
