It's gone from being called a post to a centre pole.   I'm sure someone knows the correct name for that section of the ride.   

I'm gonna go with 'trunk'

I was thinking they would build the arms first in mid air and hold them up by cranes then gradually attach the centre pole in or something

that would be like building it backwards

I was thinking they would test the ride first.

Once it arrived on our shores, it becomes a centre column

What are those big green things on the left hand side of the first photo? Seems like our first bit of theming.

[Brad2912]

Whatever they are they are clearly easily moveable given they disappear between photos...

[bladex]

looks like fencing to me

[MaxxTheMonster]

Given that at least one of them is on the public side of the fence near the Scooby exit I would say it is related to the fencing more than ride parts/theming.  Heading down tomorrow so might see if they are there and if so what they are.

[Tim Dasco]

It is part of the grass fence cover that goes over the poles of the fence.

[Reanimated35]

When they constructed Storm, they had similar covers over the poles on each fence panel.

As they have again here

While not exactly the same here, I thought they might be covering posts that were left in the ground?

Although this would suggest otherwise

 

How about posts they've PUT in the ground?

[BNErider]

Thanks @reanimated35. Yes, silly me - they looked HUGE in the first photo but obviously just from the angle of the camera.

Two interesting changes for me. 

1.       The existing access/fire door has been sheeted.

2.       The height of the stormwater pipes sit well above the height of where the tubing round support connects to the foundation.  (I always thought the pipes being placed next to the foundation was there to catch the water runoff into the ride load pit area).  Not saying that the pipes will not be trimmed but one of the pipes has already been capped.  Could the loading platform end up this high.  It could just be the angle of the photo.

It's a bit discriminating to be shutting fires out like that. #stopfirehate

Obviously whatever they're doing will still be up to code, but have they relocated that exit do we know, or was it just an extra one? 

[New display name]

When I checked other photo the pipes do line up with the ground I think.   Don't know if it was ever a fire door.  Just put it out and about.
