SW have updated the info on their website:

Journey to the depths of the ocean and discover a world of mysterious creatures in Sea World’s newest attraction, Creatures of the Deep.

Surfacing in June 2015, this world-first attraction will showcase an array of marine life, from the legendary Kraken to the giant Blue Whale, the fierce Megladon and the luminous creatures from the deepest & darkest parts of the ocean.

Guests will be able to go on an educational, interactive and exciting expedition through the prehistoric, present and mythical worlds, discovering the shadowy realms of the deep sea below.

Those trailers look like they're from parade floats...?

More components and creatures have arrived:

With photo quality like the first 2, who needs watermarks?

[Brad2912]

Given the FB posts generally have the spelling and grammar of a 10 year old, I'm not surprised he/she cannot operate a camera

[Jakev8]

The kid follows me on Instagram who runs this theme park social thing he's like 15 or something witch explains the shocking quality of pictures. Lol

[themagician]

^I didn't think he was 15. They sometimes post photos on their page with a guy in them and I'm fairly certain that is the guy who runs the page.

More creatures have arrived and installation has begun:

This is why you should never use digital zoom. Now I know someone's going to come in and say I should be appreciative that someone's taking photos, and that's great, but if you're going to promote your own page and stick watermarks all over the photos, you'd want to ensure they're actually decent quality. All they're advertising is a place to go for low resolution, pixellated photos.

[themagician]

^I 100% agree. But I just thought I would post them so we can all see the progress if people hadn't already seen these photos.

is it just me the lighthouse has been painted recently?

[mba2012]

^ The lighthouse has definitely been repainted. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly what it was before, but it wasn't that

No, I think it's only you who has been painted recently.

The whales and sharks have arrived:

[Zanstabar]

Anyone know if this is going to be on the Sea Viper side of the river or if they're just using it as a rest point?

I also can't beleive I'm saying this but I'm kind of excited for this. Dinosaur Island was a great attraction for kids, but it didn't fit Sea Worlds style. Now that this is coming in, I think it will do wonderfully.

[themagician]

From the photos I've seen I can't fully tell the full area of land it will take up. I think it would be good if the attraction incorporated part of the streams/lakes water for some of the creatures. Unless the reclaimed land is just being used as a storage area at this stage, I'm imagining that the attraction will take up this area:

I am hoping that the area in the blue will be used for an extension for the kids area. I think a kids coaster would be great addition.

I agree with you Zanstabar, I too am excited for this and will be a great addition to the park.

a extention and nickelodeon retheme to the kids area would be cool ?

[themagician]

I don't think they need to do a nickelodeon retheme. I like the theme they have got and the minor message that some rides put through (rubbish in the ocean).

Dude, no one expects you to win a spelling bee, but come on... Not to mention not a single bit of punctuation...

So are we thinking permanent in that area or just an elaborate setup?

At least if it's just a setup, they can use it for ride theming later.
