just drove past Dreamworld, Market Place has come down completely, will get more pictures of the site when I come back fromMovie World which I will be making a pit stop to Dreamworld  

just taken

I remember when that food court used to be great. Used to be able to get massive family sized meat pies for nix.

Just taken

One word to describe that picture.

STRANGE.

Strange that the building what was there since 1981 is now gone. Strange without it.

Another photo of the same, just from further away. I'm really surprised Kodak is still open during all of this construction.

and with the building gone you can see straight through to WhiteWater World.

Why wouldn't it be?

if it is not impacted by the contruction why close a revenue stream?

I was just thinking that since it was so close to construction that it would be closed; but at the same time, my logic in thinking that is very stupid, especially when considering revenues

Wrap is going up along the construction fencing outside the park.. 

The stairs are getting a fresh lick of paint, meaning 2 of the 3 access points to the front gates are out of action 

Wrapping up inside as well...

Ride express passes now sold from a kiosk outside the cinema

Well at least we know Lego are faster than DC at getting approval sorted for graphics. 

Would appear the toilets what are just outside the exit are staying leaving some of the old façade still there so that's a good sign that the façade will be matched, unless they change façade on the toilets of course.

Lego themed wraps have finished going up around the construction zones inside and outside the park  Looks like the internal entrance to the store will be via the orange facade on main street. 

The painting of the stairway entrance has finished too

The LEGO store must connect to the Main Street Emporum which is inside the orange facade.

The stairs look really good all painted up.

If the Lego shop will be connected to the Main Street Emporium how will they keep people who can enter it from outside the park out. ?

Re entry stamp?

The staff monitored turnstile in the shop between Dreamworld and WhiteWater World seems to work pretty effectively, too ?

Any chance someone could go get some photos of the fencing wraps and stairs being painted?

Won't be able to until next weekend, but sure thing! (I doubt much will have changed so it will look like i took them today)

Great, that would be awesome, my favorite thing is photos of things that I already have, especially when nothing has changed in them.

Where are you @Theme Park Ninja when we need an update?

Why can't people just appreciate these photo updates. If you don't want to see another photo update don't cheek the forum. Nobody is forcing you to look at these pictures. I doubt you will complain when you see thousands of photos of MW's coaster construction. Let's adopt the saying if you have nothing nice to contribute to the forum don't comment. Some people are just being rude lately. When people are going out of their way to post an update for us to enjoy. Some people who live on the other side of the country can't see it themselves.

First time I'm guilty of the like, and the only reason is because I accidentally missed Brad's post. Hence the edit to my post once I realised, as initially I had it worded as if the Lego wrap was brand new. Otherwise I prefer not to share photos of unchanged things, as I don't see the point. 

Thanks for the appreciation and honest feedback anyway, such a charm as always ?

Ok - firstly - if a post contains almost identical photos to a previous post, you can't really call it an 'update' can you?

Secondly - we check the forum for new content, we do want to see photo updates, but when photos aren't 'updates' its understandable.

TBH - TPG rarely if ever does this - she even goes so far as to hold back posting photos when she knows others already have photos to post, so that she doesn't 'steal their thunder'. I tell you - she'd never make a good journalist, but she writes a hell of a blog. Frankly - TPG added some photos of spaces not seen previously - such as the hoarding on main street which weren't in Brad's original post. She also had the finished stairs. (and her photos were right way up too!).

I personally don't see anything wrong with TPG's post, but there are countless others who do double post shit that has already been posted, without adding anything new, and in some cases - they even take the photos from the same angle - like they're trying to copy what others have done - but end up doing it half-assed and poorly.

THAT is the kind of stuff that shits me.

Unfortunately on a mobile device sometimes the orientation screws, dunno why. Apologies. Turn your head sideways and you'll get the same perspective!
