^I just had a look on SWs page and people have asked when it would be opening and SW replied saying this September.

pictures are from todays trip to Sea World all the rides besides Air Sea Explorer and the Carousel are completely gone

I got pictures of Creature's From The Deep to have a look at as well on the Creature's From The Deep topic

the shop beside the carousel is now also gone

It's a sorely needed revamp for that whole area... but i can't help but wonder what the park can actually offer right now to earn their single-day ticket price...

a new well themed family dark ride on the former seaviper site to replace the bermuda triangle would be a good step

I can see one of my uncles dump trucks

but you are right theres not much point takeing your younger kids to seaworld from now untill the september school holidays when the new kids area opens.

not alot to keep younger kids happy right now

I wasn't expecting that building to go. I'm really looking forward to the end result!

Jeez, the park is looking a little empty now that Corkscrew, the kids area and that whole building are all gone. It's a sign of progress I guess, but in the meantime it doesn't look like there is much to do at all.

I recently just found out that the Dreamworks Experience at Dreamworld set Ardent back $7,000,000. I wonder if Sea World has the same budget for this investment...

^was that pure construction cost, or was licensing a part of that?

Did it include Pandamonium?

I assume, since we're expecting SW to put in a new kidfamily coaster as part of the development, that the cost will definitely be 'up there'.

It sure would!

What shop was this?

Surely you don't mean they've already completely demolished this building? I hope not anyway as I like it and I think it has (or at least had) potential to become something really good.

^Yeah that shop is completely gone now

I think you'll find that it has been demolished. Have a look a the first photo taken by Ninja earlier. A vehicle is sitting on the former site of that building.

^Dang, beat me to it!

Wow! They didn't muck about did they?

Having really enjoyed Professor Bogglesworths Illusionarium at Aussie World, I was hoping that building might be transformed into something similar!

Oh well. It creates more space for new rides, so that's good hopefully.

^Whilst totally suitable to Aussie world - a park that by most accounts is 'rarely busy', the illusionarium having 'terrible capacity' would be an atrocious fit for SW.

Is that the shop that was by the dolphins and ended up housing the arcade games and the likes? Wasn't it a cartoon network gift shop?

Cartoon network hasn't been affiliated with SW for about 5 years.

The Nickelodeon store is just after the main jet ski lake

the kids area opened in 1999 as cartoon network cartoon beach.

it was re themed to sesame street beach in 2007 and then again re themed to beach break bay in 2012

I know that, last time i was there prior to last year was 2006. Back when CNCB was still there, so that's what im basing it off.

was just pointing out that the time frame since the shop was a cartoon network shop was longer then 5 years not meaning to upset anyone

Latest update from TPSN. Looks like Nickelodeon have jumped ship from DW to VRTP! 

 

Edited May 30, 201510 yr by OceanGirl

VRTP have been associated with Nickelodeon for a while haven't they?

There's a Nickelodeon shop at Sea World. I'm sure Spongebob is a Nickelodeon character, and that's also been at Sea World for a few years. 

Not sure whether Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are also Nickelodeon, but they'renow at Sea World too. 

Lol whoops! You're right, Pushbutton I have never had payTV, so I keep forgetting that Spongebob and all that are Nickelodeon characters, despite the fact there's also a shop there (which I never go into) lol. Silly me  I just saw this announcement on FB and immediately remembered that Dreamworks replaced the Nick area at Dreamworld, so I forgot they already had some of the characters and what not there.

I dunno if TMNT are owned by Nickelodeon either. If they are, it must be a newer thing. As a TMNT fangirl from the 80's, I know they didn't belong to any particular brand in the past.... if anything they were their own
