Demolition has started on BT and they are doing work out the back of dolphin cove and where the old pirate ship was they are starting to fill in some of the ski lake.

I'll be going this Wednesday so I'll try and get some photos.

Wait, what? Is that three construction sites now?

[DazzaMoes]

thats just what i have noticed on Nearmap, its kinda suspicious that they are filling in part of the lagoon.

Im hoping they do use all the space they can use and looks like they are making for the ride (hopefully). It's great to see rides go flying overhead when your walking around the park.

I'm pretty sure the other construction sites are for different projects. I doubt the water coaster will be big enough to spread that far across the park lol. But I'll admit it'd be pretty awesome if it did.

The GCB article about WNW's new slide mentions that the secret SW ride will be opening this summer. Guess we'll be seeing it really come together quite quickly in the coming months

[xRazzBerryx]

I think when they say opening this summer, they are actually talking about the Wet n Wild ride

[joz]

Well the article suggests Sea World will have a new atteaction in Spring. If that's true you'd have to think that it would be the other attraction where the pirate ship used to be, not the water coaster.

Ohh now I read it again it does say one that is opening in spring? Unless they have stuffed the article -.-

Summer could mean as late as the 28th of February..... So unless they say it will be open in December for the summer season, I wouldn't exactly be terribly excited. Late-Jan or February would be realistic to me.

Thanks for the lesson on climate - i'm well aware of when summer is. GCB usually have massive holes in their reporting, so it is probably not correct anyway, but name me a time when a major attraction has opened in late January or February??? All major openings occur during school holidays, so if it is isn't late december/new years it wont be til the Easter school holidays. Given it's a water coaster though, i'm assuming they will push for Late Dec/Early Jan to maximise summer crowds

[xRazzBerryx]

I personally would like rides to open before holidays because 1. People who go to theme parks regularly could ride it before the big crowds get in and 2. because new rides seem to have faults or some sought of issue when they open (TOT2 had this and im pretty sure green lantern had a few issues?).

Maybe we could be getting a flat ride to replace the Pirate Ship?? That would then take the ride count back up pre BT closing and the ship closing. (Minus Castaway and the kids ride missing in the kiddie are) the park does seem to really be investing into returning it back to top shape! If it is a ride or flat ride I'm hoping for an S&S Screamin' Swing, VRTL seem to be doing some work with S&S lately! Though if it's for the water coaster, that would be awesome and would point towards a fairly good ride time! My guess is the water coaster would open sometime before the Spring next year to capitalise on the warm period, I don't see a water ride going in towards the cooler period and I don't think there would be enough time to get it done by Summer. But hey, I'm only speculating so who knows!!

Something's happening where the pirate ship used to be and something happening too bellow the Imagine show... Edited August 15, 2012 by ThrillRider

[JacobSibbald]

seeing as though the construction areas are near water it is promising that something could happen where the coaster interacts with the water like coasters at busch gardens

[mba2012]

It would be especially hard considering the height limit is quite low. But as we have already found out with Green Lantern WVTP can make anything fit.

[JacobSibbald]

i was thinking more the construction area near dolphin cove, there is a small lake there that could be possible

^These kind of photos should be shared with dreamworld to show them ow easy it is to move forward

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

at least they've themed the fencing now so it fits in a little better - much better than the plain white sheeting they had on it before. It's kind of sad to see them demolishing the concrete channels... but i'm glad they're finally doing something with the site...

[BemaniAK]

It's progressed a bit further now.

Really? The degree of difficulty between demolishing the two attractions is completly different.
