Thanks once again for a great update! So nice to get construction photos back on the site. I'm happy that one of the parks are installing a Splash Battle - should be a really unique and fun attraction. Water rides are always popular with guests too. Even better is the fact that it appears they will be theming it properly... hopefully this marks a turning point and Village will go back to theming their attractions properly. Interesting to note the signage outside the front gate advertising the VIP Pass along with the new attractions to open this year. This is where Village once again has one up on Ardent. When people are deciding whether to buy the DW/WWW yearly pass (if they even know that DW is doing one) or the Village parks yearly pass they are more likely to go with Village because they know that they will be adding a number of new rides and attractions this year. Whereas with Dreamworld, as far as the general public are concerned, there is nothing happening this year. At best just an upgrade of an existing ride

Water rides ARE popular... but moreso in summer with a lull in winter. Does a splash battle have the staying power to be a year-round attraction?

Agree with GoGoBoy, lets hope this marks the return of proper ride theming for not just WVTP, but Australia in general.
