Tiger Island Refurbishment - Dreamworld 2016

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

You paid $299 to do the star tour, which included fast lane passes etc all afternoon, and you still left the park early to go to dreamworld? for shame.

Obviously in tiger island but can someone who might know give an explanation to what the hell it is.

Underwater viewing similar to what is seen at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

I can't wait to seen everything that has been done to the tiger Island precinct once it is all finished

That's the glass wall for the plunge pool, that will jut out a little bit towards the moat.

less than a month to go now  I'm taking the D200 out for a run today, all of these are taken on my phone

Looks like construction is almost done and it's pretty much just landscaping they have left to do.

Yeah, a couple of trees and she'll be right

[Santa07]

You obviously don't understand the word 'almost'. I was judging off TPN's photos, not the one taken over half a week ago.

this just appeared on my newsfeed

And what does that have to do with Tiger Island refurb?

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

well this topic was about general updates about Dreamworld, however one of the admins changed it to Tiger Island Refurbishment,

I have no clue why you haven't been bothered to address all the other posts about Pokemon Go walk events and the Billabong refurb not being TI related until now

 I've been posting my Dreamworld updates in the Q&A topic, since there is no longer an official updates topic

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Or you know, someone could make one?

This is going to be great. I'm really happy about this update finally happening, I think whatever Dreamworld can do to support the Tiger Island team and their efforts to educate more people about wildlife conservation is a big win and giving them a bigger and better space to do just that makes me very happy.

Tigers are tremendous climbers.. Also remember the Tigers could also get up to a second level, so in terms of height above that level, it's not that high

Oh darn, I was going to suggest the foundations for a fountain.... Oh well.

Seriously - that is going to be tremendous! Thanks for the update

It's really looking good now ??

Wow, it's looking really vibrant - the refurb has definitely done great things for the area.

Update for Sunday 21st. (and I know, that's ages ago now but I haven't had a chance to upload these photos)

Just a note; all photos have been resized to 640x480. I can upload higher resolution photos if requested.

Tiger Island Update:

Mesh is up ready for the rockwork at the area entrance; otherwise nothing notable (that I noticed at least).

According to the map posted in Tiger Cub Kindy the area directly in view of the below photo will be the new Tiger Cub Kindy and Sumatran Viewing Enclosure; however, nothing has been done for either of these two enclosures yet, and there's less than a month before the September school holidays.

We also have our first view of the façade of the new F&B outlet, which according to the Ardent FY Report, will feature chinese oriented cuisine.

Also, I hope they do something to blend these buildings in with the surroundings, such as a Kung-Fu Panda related façade on this building;

 

General Update:

Tower of Terror car is in the Graveyard, and Reef Diver has disappeared - doubt it's gone into storage now, after sitting there for two years. Pieces of SpongeBob FlyPants theming has appeared along with other items that look familiar but I just can't seem to work out what they were from. (and there's the Dora Explorer Sea Planes top piece)

Below is the aforementioned FlyPants theming, and the other items I don't recognise.

Below is the shrimp/prawn that used to be located on the GameSite building at the entrance to Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness; but there are no plans for this arcade to disappear, so don't get too excited.

As I mentioned in the Ardent FY Thread, Motocoaster's second train has been gone for about three weeks (at least). ...and the Motocoaster Test Seat was removed a few weeks ago as well. (After someone mentioned that was the only thing the ride was doing correctly) It's a stretch but could this have anything to with VR?

Motocoaster theming is still just as faded and ugly as ever. I hope this all gets updated and replaced soon.

Giant Drop entry is getting some love; while Giant Drop West (?) was no where to be seen.

While in other news the Tree Kangaroo enclosure re-build in the Aviary is almost complete.

Tower of Terror broke down; and Motocoaster was 'testing' at the same time which allowed me to get the photos below.

and does anyone know what this building was used for, and if it has any use now? (It's the building located behind Tiger Cub Kindy, next to Tail Spin and GameSite)

I'm thinking... maybe adding VR to MDMC will also involve a massive revamp - new, comfy trains, proper theming, the lot. Dreamworld have been doing great revamping their rides lately (HWSW/Wipeout) so I hope this continues.
