Something new about to Hatch at SW?

[xRazzBerryx]

Disappointing its not a ride, but hopefully it will turn out a really good interactive attraction

[qldtaw]

I have a logo that was included but i cant upload... not sure how. Technically challnged here!

[xRazzBerryx]

I usually just copy paste....

[RussellSmulders]

my question is where would this be going as it has a far bit of stuff so would need a large space the old area i can think of is the lighthouse area and stuff around there

[bladex]

so in other words their building a museum zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and whats dinosaurs got to do with the sea anyway?! it's not called dinosaur world

Or Jurassic Park, Dino-Land AUS, Pre-historic World. Does anyone know if this is a permanent exhibit, or a temp holiday attraction?

[GoGoBoy]

BOOOOO!

[RussellSmulders]

By the sounds of the press release it's a permanent thing cause they don't mention it as being for holidays or anything plus they only have a month to do everything so i don't believe it will be very big so I guess we just have to wait to next year hopefully for the Bermuda replacement

[GoGoBoy]

I guess this means Bermuda is going to CONTINUE to sit dormant. I suppose it wouldn't really have mad sense to open a major new ride at both MW and SW at the same time. Hopefully this means there is still hope the Bermuda site WILL be turned back into a decent ride at some point

[aussienetman]

Not a fan. Ah well...

[Brad2912]

*yawn* Would have been a great addition. But not prior to a BT replacement going in Also don't get the whole dinosaur relevance.

[aussienetman]

They probably found an exhibit that was finishing somewhere else and decided to put it in as a cheap holiday filler.

Sounds like something that belongs at Currumbin; not all that exciting. Where is this going by the way? Since no one has uploaded it yet... When I saw this at first I immediately thought it was a new re-theme of the kids area.

Do T-rexes swim? No = Irrelevant to Sea World. Edited May 4, 2012 by alex_1

[aussienetman]

I guess they could focus on sea dinosaurs.... Evidence does show that the majority of dinos (including trex) could swim

One of the best rides Sea World ever had was Lassiter's Lost Mine. Anyone care to draw a link between that and the sea? There were Dinosaurs in the sea (sort of) so it's not a huge stretch for Sea World to do a Dino attraction. As for the attraction itself, well it does nothing for me, but I'm not the target market. If it takes over the 3D theater or goes in a new building I'm all for it though. If this turns out to be Bermuda's replacement then it's an overdue disappointment. On the plus side though it does sound very similar to the up charge attractions at the Cedar Fair parks, and so far their hasn't been talk of making it an upcharge here, well done.

Movie World did say on their Facebook page that it was going in a 'new' space. Definitely not going in the Bermuda Triangle area. Edited May 4, 2012 by kujotess

Cheers for the clarification, that being the case there's nothing really not to like, even if it is debatably a bit uninspired. Kids love Dinosaurs, and if it's executed reasonably well then it can only be a good thing for the park.

Because crocodiles are fully dinosaurs... I would've liked it if they had a prehistoric sea creature exhibit focusing on "sea dinos", but this seems to be focusing on the usual - T-rex, Velociraptor etc. And sure, T rex could swim in the sea maybe. But so can hundreds of other animals today including elephants, and you don't see Sea World making an elephant exhibit. But I guess Underwater World had a similar thing and it worked, so meh. I'm just a bit dissapointed in Sea World's choice. Edited May 4, 2012 by alex_1

Funny and all but they obviously aren't going to include crocodiles to the exhibit, you know what he meant.

[rappa]

Some people have seen a air amount of demo work going on at BT so I wouldn't count it as dormant just yet... Btw Volcano, Dormant, get it

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I raced to make this comment, and then read that Joz had already suggested it - My thoughts are with Joz that this may take over the 3d Theatre and associated jungle-walkway... but then they did say it was a 'new space' ??? Where the hell does Sea World have ANY 'new' space?
