There is also all of this in the car park but I can’t make out what it is

it does appear to be piles of timber in the carpark

Spot on. I did see ground level pictures taken of this compound when the first timbers arrived. I thought it was Magician but maybe it was Jworld.

I'm pretty certain its the track pieces and\or supports for leviathan.... 🤣

@TomiJ those photos were already posted here and taken before the closing of the parks. 😂

[TomiJ]

@Tim Dasco ooopsie doopsie, I haven't seen a close up of the seats before. But yay for no petty bullshit as these were apparently taken BEFORE the restrictions. 

[themagician]

@TomiJ thanks for sharing, but yes, they were shared a couple months ago and there were more works done since these photos were taken

The key part of his post is the text, which I assume has just been taken from GC Bulletin

Would be awesome if the ride was ready for when they can reopen

EDIT: Full article is here if anyone has access and can share

You're a dickhead for not knowing the photos are old.  </s>

I don't know if a filler will drive visitation but when the whole project is completed it should.

Well it won't be rides that drive visitation.... so.. i mean maybe a new garbage can will drive visitation?

Village Roadshow think rides won't drive visitation... that explains a lot.

In summing up.  It's the vibe.

Thank God we don't have to rely on TPSN because it will be easy for us to make an educated guess when it opens once construction resumes.

Good old TPSN. 
He also posted if MW opens in July it’s a good chance Fright Nights will happen. He then deleted the comments of everyone disagreeing or saying how highly improbable/impossible it is that FNs will happen with social distancing rules.

This post originally said Leviathan was on track to open this December. So he must have changed it.

Just saw this - gives a very good look at how Vortex is going:

Needs some landscaping done, and a fair bit different to what they portrayed wonder what the final product will look like with plants and signage.

[themagician]

I do like the concept art and it seems like what they are executing is pretty close to it, assuming they will be painting the foam. Hopefully they plant a heap of trees, etc to really fill the area because it might look out of place

[rappa]

Getting closer!

Oh boy! I can't wait to try and get to the park's new signature wooden coaster when it opens... if i can get past all the people watching their friends ride on Vortex...

Damn, can that pathway be any smaller? *choke point!*

When they announced the attraction, they also said there would be a viewing area of the dolphin lagoon. Does that mean that small pathway that wraps around Vortex will that viewing area? Because that’s even smaller. Unless that idea was scrapped or they are yet to build some decking to view from

I agree @AlexB for what will most likely be on of the most popular areas of the park and this pathway is likely the be the main entrance point that people use, that is one small pathway 

EDIT:

I’ve screenshot the footage at its highest quality (would have been the smart thing to do in the first place) to see a lot more detail

You can see at the entrance to the area they’ve started to install some form of fencing/arch. Could this possibly be for plants to be grown on? And it looks like there won’t be a fountain at the entrance either, just another garden bed 😏

Queue area to the right and the exit will be just to the left of it (This could be another bottle neck situation in peak times) 

Im also interested to see where they decide to put the attraction signage. Possibly on the concrete footings to the left of the photo

Hopefully the building to the right will be covered up with plants over time

Good to see some work was still moving forward for the coaster.

I think it shows a lack of funds.

It's hard to add thought when SW's ride line up has been neglected for a long time.   The new rides are all about climbing out of that hole.
