I would sack that employee.  Every time I have seen her, she is just sitting around.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

doesn't look female to me - are you sure?

 

Either way, I guess they're 'armless.

[New display name]

Yes I had a close look and she has no dick.  This makes me think you have to be female to test rides.

flat-chested females... or eunuchs. with no arms.

 

Seems legit.

[New display name]

You haven't met my last girlfriend.  She had no arms and no legs and when she went for a swim people  would mistake her for Bob.

What did you call her?

[New display name]

I don't know, I never had to call her. She couldn't move and was always in the same spot.  On the rare occasion that I took her to the beach some people would call her sandy, so maybe that was her name.

It's been announced that it will be opening these school holidays.

EDIT: Karla on SWs FB page has said it will be open in time for the holidays on the 19th.

If they can get that place ready in under 2 weeks they are Miracle workers.

 

id say xmas holidays, not the September holidays 

[themagician]

^That's exactly what I was thinking. It seems like all the rides are installed, but I would say they all/most need to be tested and all pathways need to be laid, and vegetation planted. I would say that it may be early October before it opens.

[Reanimated35]

Was about to say that looks fine and ready to open, then I realised it was SeaWorld, not Dreamworld

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I don't think that's anywhere near close to being a christmas open - as said - all the rides are installed, presumably they've been tested - all we're talking about now is paths and landscaping, maybe a bit of signage...

You'd be surprised how fast the landscapers can work to get gardens and such installed, and as far as paths go - Disneyland laid the bitumen on Main St less than 24 hours before the park opened. Sure - ladies sunk their high heels into it, but the point is - laying a bitumen path doesn't take long either.

Since that photo was taken, they've had another 10 days to work on it - and they've got another 9 before it's supposed to open. so they've had 3 weeks between when that photo was taken, and when it's supposed to open.

 

Piss easy.

[Brad2912]

My thoughts were just on my observation in park last week based on the visit 2 weeks prior where not much had changed. They are clearly ramping it up, and a video on youtube by SW has just confirmed Nickelodeon Land opens next weekend 

[S.W24]

Dont forget there is always 24hrs in a day!

[Brad2912]

Thanks for the enlightenment.

thats clearly where I've been going wrong my whole life..

[themagician]

Looking at this image, do people think that they will have a pathway going to around the back of the two whales? The way it looks in the image, it seems like they will. And does anyone have any ideas of what they might/could do with that land to the right where there is just sand at the moment?

[Brad2912]

i dont think there will be a pathway to the right side of the whales (in this image). Its an access road for construction vehicles, a path wouldnt lead anywhere if it went that way currently.

Here's how Nickelodeon Land looks now. 

Dockside Tavern now has a much bigger balcony facing Nickelodeon Land, and the carousel appears to have been repainted. 

From what I can see of it from here, there's only a few finishing touches needed. 

 

This one shows the extended balcony on Dockside Tavern.

Isn't tomorrow the planned opening day? (Start of school holidays)

[themagician]

^No I don't think so. SW have just said opening these school holdiays, and on FB when people have asked when it opens,  they have replied with, at some point during the holidays. And they also said due to the rain over the last couple of days has set them back a little.

[Reanimated35]

Lol...

• Alexander Van Der Blom Prior to this advertisement they advertised it would be open a week before school holidays. We booked accommodation, flights and unlimited passes based on this fact and sure enough it was closed. I've screenshotted this ad and am making a complaint to the ACCC and I suggest everyone does the same. I complained to Sea World and all they gave was an apology. They're happy to take your hard earned though at the expense of your children's disappointment and tears. Disgraceful business practice Sea World.

Also,

looks like it may have originally been planned to open yesterday.

 

[iwerks]

^Let's not forget about all of the other well informed opinions on Sea World's Facebook page.

[Brad2912]

As I said a page or so back, 2 weeks ago it didn't look anywhere near 2 weeks from completion. I always assumed it was the Xmas holidays they were aiming for

[BigKev]

Putting aside the OTT reactions it is a strange piece of promotion from Seaworld I reckon. 

They are saying open in the holidays which could mean anytime in the next two weeks, surely they could be a bit more specific on such a short timeframe, even with a rider.
