Any updates on the coaster site?

I'm going Wednesday! I will upload photos on here and on my Facebook page

Also is it possible to check the reclaimed land?

Check it for what?

If there's any activity on the land?

Other than some bird life moving around, that's a no. Were you expecting something to be happening?

I thought Wild was still going to occur. But now it's not it seems.

It's been over 12 months since any mention of Wild.

^except on these boards, where it still lives on in people's memories of things that never were.

(FoF members may know differently however)

I'm at the park right now. Sea Viper is gone. there's grass and dirt are being planted where the ride stood. Photos are getting uploaded tonight.

Well in fairness we didn't know that grass was being laid

Good to see they're actually going to do something with it - even if it is just a nice grassed picnic area or similar.

side note: how do you plant dirt?

First you get some dirt, then you dig a hole in some other dirt, then put the first dirt in the hole from the second dirt, then add more dirt to cover it. Dirtception

Sea Viper:

Off Topic updates at Sea World

:Nothing going on where Wild was. Personally I think VRTP cancelled the Wild project.

:Good News! The No Entry Train gate is back!

:Storm Coaster is still popular but breaks down too much and no signs of fire.

:The area where DI was is now got a rope around both entrances

:Vikings got a coat of paint as the water is more clearer to see.

That is all.

DI ?

Thanks for the photos by the way

DI ?

DI= Dinosaur Island!

I'm uploading more photos when I get home.

I think they took a liking to your idea Alex! Great to see them doing something with the area in the meantime rather than leaving a patch of dirt.

And a new "no entry" gate goes up to the grassy area in 5.....4.....3......

By the fact that it looks like they've built a road there, it's probably going to be a while before we see anything happen with the site.

Thanks Ninja for the awesome direct-uploaded photos which I can actually see! It's wonderful when people follow the rules!

That grass looks lush! Hopefully they've 'bedded it down' sufficiently for it to be a usable space come december.

And Flea - I have no doubts our wonderful park management were already thinking on the same wavelength - and at least if they aren't - they were reading this thread!

edit: It's a bitumen path - not exactly a 'road' and when Jet Rescue's piazza is pebbled, and viper's area is grassed, a bitumen path is a good boundary to keep one from encroaching on the other. Nobody ever suggested the grass is a permanent addition, and the path may just be another maintenance access-way for various purposes. I wouldn't consider the bitumen as an indicator they've made up their mind about that site.

Great photos Ninja. It's a bit disappointing to see its turned into a patch of grass. It makes it look like nothing will ever replace it for the next year, if not for years to come.

By that I mean a ride.

That's just a prediction, it could be wrong or could be possibly true.

Yeah but they're not just going to leave a giant dirt block there either. At least this way they have a nice little function venue for the resort.

Damned planted dirt!! Why didn't they plant some rocks? hell, why didn't they just plant a ride?

Because if they planted rocks, more rocks would grow, then they'd be overrun with rocks and have to remove them.
