The flume is closed for a few days so they must be making a few more major touch ups

Would love to see a soft open happen by the 15th. Fingers crossed.

are there any photos of it??? would love to see it

Usually, midweek isn't the best time to get photos - mainly because those who are nice enough to visit the park and take photos aren't always able to do it on a weekday because of work, or study obligations.

You can wait until the weekend when more members can get down there and if you ask nicely enough they'll get some, otherwise - you can always go down there and take some yourself and post them for everyone else...

Heading over there tomorrow. Can't wait to share some photos and video.

can't wait to see them.

Sounds like an amazing ride . Can't wait to ride it in the future. Just a question, will 'wild' be a ride or an animal experience?!

I don't think it has ever been formally confirmed, but the general understanding is it will be a permanent exhibit

well from the look of it, animal, but it's still early in construction so it could change. not sure how well it's going to fit in with the 'sea' world thing though...

From yesterday. Apologies for the quality, taken on my phone.

Taken about an hour ago - they were testing the ride and smoke effects (where it dips at the bridge.) There's also a water blast as you pass under the bridge and go back into the building.. Looks great. Apologies for the long part 1, I was hoping the boats would release from the breaks, am still in the park and can't really edit at the mo. http://youtu.be/l-4x5ChdGb8 http://youtu.be/V8yrFKoQSK8

Awesome! Looking good!

anyone got any pictures of the water cascade yet?

who thinks it is possible that storm coaster will open on the tenth of december.

well looking at what they have at the moment, the chances are actually fairly high

Ride is running right through as I send this.. Quite a bit of speed down the drop and into the building.. Water / ending: http://youtu.be/Dbq2czJM31s Boats now coming through without test dummies.. Spewing I can't go on it.. haha Perfect timing on the skyway.. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/gvGqDYd-Vtc

Awesome shots, thanks for sharing them

Comeing december in todays add in the gold coast bulletin

That looks really cool! It appears to have some good speed as it goes into the building. One thing I'm disappointed with is that they didn't go to the effort of making the gravel areas a shallow pool of water, just to add to the theme a bit.

Agree, it looks odd having that one well themed water section at the end, which isn't really visible unless you walk via the flume to the right of the castle. The area under storm looks bad with just gravel and poles.. Water and rocks would have been so much better. Maybe in the future.

yeah, the boats look a bit strange in that area...

Whoah! The boats go so fast you can hardly see them go over the airtime hill!

Looking foward to it!

And the water cascade is looking pretty neat!

well, it really is a 'big one'

cant wait so see the indoor section!

Water and rocks would have been so much better. Maybe in the future.

I'd like to think that maybe in the future the spare space could be used for something (Eg look at what is proposed in the middle of Superman after all these years of it being white gravel)

Have they finished work on the cascade? If so I'll be pretty disappointed. There are still large sections of exposed concrete. If you look at Skatteøen in Denmark, the cascade walls are completely covered with rockwork and theming. I can't say I'm thrilled with the theming so far.
