Does anybody know the firm responsible for the design/themeing of this new area? Do WVTP's have an internal themepark design and development team (similar to WDI, but on a smaller scale)? Or is it outsourced to a themepark design firm such as Thinkwell, Falcon's Treehouse, Goddard Group, ect. ?

From what I understand, the theming had heavy involvement from within WVTP itself. I am extremely impressed with the design, and know that that person (or persons) are feeling very proud of what has come out of this project. It's like they knew exactly what us enthusiasts like to see, and then did all of it. Awesome facades, blending backgrounds and matte painting, interactive elements throughout the area, and one solidly themed ride.

And thanks btw guys, it's good to be back ? Have missed you all  ?❤️

 

 

It looks like they are atucal doing what I said earlier how there is a small entrance and the facades link the whole way round making it an immersive area.

Ahh crap, sorry chick!!! I thought since you'd gone to work you had decided not to post it. I've deleted my copy from that post if you want to post your version instead. It's probably gonna be like 100x better quality anyway with your beast of a camera ???

We have the first area entranceway now ? Bricklayer has been busy building it all morning ?

Van update, van is currently gone. No signs of a fountain either

Nice, keep the photos coming. That bricklayer probably doesn't know he's a full blown celebrity on parkz right now - enjoy your 15 minutes son.

The land itself is looking better by the day.

I agree! It's looking very impressive, can't wait to see it finished. Would that person/persons be an enthusiast themselves and contribute to these forums? If so, that's great to hear that WVTPs is employing local talent with a true passion for the industry.

Ha! You should have seen what happened when I posted a pic of Mick the DD crane operator on my blog a couple of months back. I think he was completely chuffed by the amount of attention that recieved. Instant internet celeb ???

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Wow, looking goooood. Really happy to say that they are making the area immersive and not just leaving it open. I think installing those brick walls I definitely a smart choice. 

And welcome back @Theme Park Girl, thanks for updates.

I think he's trying to ascertain if the construction workers photographed are theme park enthusiasts who post here... 

No idea why...

Brad - do try to keep up. The original question was who did the theming. I said I believe VRTP did it internally, and I think they did a great job because they've done everything that we as enthusiasts like to see done. He then wondered whether that person might be an enthusiast themselves. I then denied any knowledge of what he was talking about.

Haha.. Caught up now. #Back

I wonder if they are going to leave some of the gaps between the brick work, as seen in TPGs photo. But add some cool effect so it looks like the building is falling a part or has been attacked by the villains.

that panelling looks pretty crappy actually. each panel stands out like dogs balls. it really doesn't 'stand up' to the quality of the rest of the area that we've seen. 

I know it isn't complete - so I really hope that is somehow fixed \ blended better so you can't see those joins.

at the park ATM nothing has changed from yesterday from I what I'm seeing.

No work on WWF at the moment for those who care

It's not a update with a dummy wearing shorts 

also welcome back @Theme Park Girl

This is a very very minor thing, but from TPG's video, the white undersides of the gondolas seating looks stark and out-of-place. Unlikely they'll sticker the camo onto it? At least make it the same colour as the seats?

Here's a video from testing today. 

 

 

Please excuse the terrible photo quality. Rain and overcast skies are not friendly to cameras. 

You could have had the full size pics but Parkz doesn't seem to want to allow large uploads, so here's 50% size. 

 

 

Just uploaded my Canon pics from the test dummy runs on Friday morning and thought I'd also post a few, given its a slow DD news day lol.  

I dunno about you guys, but I love seeing our little puffy green haired plastic mates getting taken for a spin ??
