^ I was more implying that WVTP actually do things with their parks instead of having several rides sbno, not one in particular

It is a little sad to see the ride being demolished now.

It's funny to hear someone say that after the number of people who were whinging about the SBNO LTRR, BT, BATR.... In that last photo - there appears to be a white 'carport' style awning near one of the entrances to the mountain... I don't ever recall seeing this before - any ideas on it?

To be honest I'm not sure if the volcano will be demolished, seeing as Viking flumes run through one of the identical mountains, but we'll see.

LTRR - Do we know for certain it is still standing? I assume it would be, but at least they've hidden it so it doesn't look like something should be there now. BT - Being replaced at the moment BTAR - Being replaced at the moment Dreamworld on the other hand now has Chairlift - Removed, but the poles still show what used to be. Eureka - Still SBNO with no obvious plans for that to ever change. Capt Sturt - Unless something has changed, last I heard it's now SBNO And just to be picky - The area of the old waterpark - the slides and mountain are still there with no sign of being replaced. Cyclone - Queue area - even to people who haven't been there before it's obvious something used to be there and now just looks tacky.

Looks like it is there to protect the flume riders....its the same thing seen on footpaths around city construction sites. http://goo.gl/maps/8XYlw (Streetview example)

Just wanted to post this.

It's called the storm, which in the original advertisement 'the storm is coming' and also it is a mack. The only difference is it isnt a water coaster..

[Gazza]

^It's the sort of coaster I'd want to see at any of our parks in the future. It's just like an Intamin Mega Lite.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Maybe a dreamworld coaster but doesn't seem to fit the overly themed family thrill path the village parks appear to be taking at the moment.

Any new pictures?

Wow. It looks so different now. Any other photos?

[westical]

Dunno, you taken any? Nah that's it.

Hey mba2012, have you gone out and taken any photos for anyone lately?

No. Don't have a pass anymore.

Is demolition being done on the Volcano or are they keeping it for the coaster? It'd be nice if it were a well themed, enclosed water coaster like the one at Sea World Orlando rather than an open one like Poseidon at Europa Park, however the latter unfortunately is more likely.

[joz]

I suspect you can expect a little of both with this ride.

[Slick]

Icing on the cake would be keeping the main volcano and rejoining that gas line.

[mattcrombie]

Volcano will be kept and the Bermuda Triangle building to for the new ride.

Are Mack involved?

Are Mack involved?

As far as I know it is meant to be a Mack Water Coaster. If not I am wrong.

I am 100% certain Mack are involved, since they would have had to come out here to collect the Scenic Railway trains, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.......

Oh God, that is gold. Mack have confirmed themselves haven't they. Also, if they keep the volcano, I hope they paint it to look like a mountain or something as it is storm theme.

[Jobe]

Hehe.... Oh the irony!!! In a little while, we will all be saying that the Mack argument is getting on in years.....

I heard they were working on heaps of Australian projects. Aren't they doing Dreamworld's new ride too?
