  • Is there a recent nearmap image that shows the reclaimed land? Perhaps someone can liquid paper the Sea Viper area so we can visualise the entire available land? Oh and Corkscrew died to me when

  • It was very heavily rumored back when the ride closed earlier in the year. A sad day, but I think we all saw it coming. Personally, I'm looking forward to the future; with Wild looking less and less

  • ^^ I actually say piss off and find something else to do with your time rather than visit this site. We have no desire for members on here that wish ANY parks to "Die a Horrible Death". What a fr

Sea World Update :2

post-29384-0-82717200-1412154247_thumb.j It's sad to see Sea Viper leave the park. We hope there's a roller coaster that replaces Sea Viper.

That's all folks!

^No one knows. Wild could happen, but after SW delaying it from Summer 2014, to 2015 and now we haven't heard anything. I'm not feeling confident that it will happen. Time will tell. In my opinion I'm expecting SW to open/announce a new attraction/ride next year.

Surely SeaWorld will back up with another ride before too much longer.

It's not like the demise of Sea Viper was a surprise so I'm sure they will have planned for it and with the Gold Coast Comm Games on the horizon you would think the parks will want to be at their best.

I don't think they planned for it...

Also I have now made 100 posts.

I'm not sure that this has been covered already, since I don't feel like catching up on the most recent posts on this thread.

But the "Gold Coast Theme Parks" Facebook page recently posted this:

"The SpongeBob ParadePants adventure is coming to an end on 10 October, so don’t miss your last chance to be transported to the wonderful underwater world of Bikini Bottom. You can still meet your favourite Nickelodeon characters at Sea World every day, plus there’s some exciting new attractions coming soon, so stay tuned for more information."

and "Attractions" doesn't that hint at something larger than we may have expected.

This could also mean they don't have to worry about interrupting the show with the rides, etc.

That's exactly what they did with the Thrillseeker (now Taipan) when they left the area empty and opening an animal exhibit 6 years later. And plus they have just added Storm- we aren't going to see a major attraction for a while.

There is a lot of difference between Thrillseeker and Corkscrew/Seaviper. Seaviper was an icon of the park and I am betting that its demise was fairly unexpected. The park did everything they could to keep that ride running. Now in the wake of its demise, I think that the park will be planning very carefully for that space and what should be another iconic ride to replace it. This is just a feeling and not due to any inside knowledge. I am hoping for a new coaster with several attractions underneath or around it. This would give the park an opportunity for another big coaster and several other smaller rides to add to the overall park ride count. Fingers crossed!

Popped in for a quick look at the site today. Not a whole lot to report other than a couple guys dumping soil around the newly planted greenery, but I took a few pics anyway.

With the shrubs being utilized as a fence it seems unlikely the grass area will be publicly accessible.

Sea World trialing new single car trains on Jet Rescue. Not really.
