@TricoartSomething smells fishy here.

In this news report about WoO they mention Leviathan, stating it will be open later this year. I don’t think we’ll see it open until Christmas. Interesting they hadn’t mentioned Trident either. Maybe because it’s delayed even further or just simply, its not the major focus attraction and they left it out.

So they say it will be open and you decide it won’t ‘just cause’?

i’ve been told (not from a random staff member, a credible source) when asked about a September opening that “there are some delays but very close unfortunately COVID is causing issues.” however, they supposedly expect it to be open by the end of the year because as it’s “not far away from completion.” hopefully they keep their word and by atleast December we’re riding it

COVID must really have it out for New Atlantis, causing 6+ individual delays for it. Jokes aside, I wonder when they'll make that news public, cause if they don't do so soon then they'll just be getting even more dissatisfied passholders.

No I’m not saying it won’t open, I’m saying, did they not mention it because trident is going to open next year or at this stage they don’t know. Im not reading into too much because the media are good at missing information or stating things incorrectly. It was just an observation.

i feel like there thinking behind it is “if we make it last minute, it looks like we are nearly finished but just needed to do finishing touches.” won’t be surprised if we hear an announcement of new December dates in the middle of August, around the time they start teasing fright nights.

Could they not say the same thing, or even possibly show the same thing by actually attaching images of their 'finishing touches' (e.g. the station, or that blue shade structure in the queue), without doing so under a month from the date they've made everyone believe, and perhaps even have people planning their holidays around?

He didn't decide anything.

They said "later this year" after specifically sprouting "September 3" for months. This slight change to the language implies September 3 isn't the current target - so one presumes it would be later. You can't get much later in the year (and opening for holidays is always the goal) so it seems quite sensible and reasonable for a normal person to conclude a Christmas opening.

...Further, not mentioning Trident in any media statements or commentary, when it was forecast to open at the same time or soon after, and the lack of progress on the site also, it's entirely reasonable to assume that the omission was intentional. He did however go on to allow for the possibility that it just wasn't the headliner and was omitted for that reason too.

SW are no longer saying September at all. 

The new spin is.

The Leviathan - Rising Soon at Sea World

At least it didn't take them as long to share this as last time. Trident is also "soon".

I think rising eventually would be more accurate at this point..

@New display name - Yep. Whole website has been updated. When linking on Facebook it shows up as 'opening the summer at The Mew Atlantis' which I just find hilarious.

They're taking the Atlantis theme really seriously and dumping the entire thing into Sea World lake for a grand opening. 

[StingRay]

Let's start the bets on the date of the whole new Atlantis precinct opening (Yes I am aware Vortex is open).

I'm predicting boxing day.

[themagician]

They should’ve gone with the ‘rising soon’ term a long time ago. 

[Rivals]

if it opens this year i’m going to say early December soft opening, 10-17th of December opening.

Leviathan will become a classic before it opens.😁

[StingRay]

Leviathan might be due for its first maintenance period by the time the christmas holidays end. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Leviathan's opening will be postponed, due to being due for its 10 year teardown.

I have a sinking feeling you could be right.

I’m shocked i was right about Vortex’s random maintenance date.

Trident finally going vertical is an indication Leviathan is actually complete now excluding testing. I expect testing to start in a week or two if it hasn’t already started after park hours.

I'm guessing what you are saying is only a stab in the dark?
