What are those pieces under the white covers near the orange backhoe?

(Best if you look at the above @themagician's pics fullsize/zoomed in.)

[themagician]

It has been there since major ground works began on the vortex site, so I’m thinking it could be the gondola

[Park Addict 93]

Yeah, had a look at the site from Sky Flyer while at Carnivale and it definitely looked like the gondola.

Makes sense considering the delays.

Also, for those incapable of zooming for whatever reason:

@Gazza if you look real close...

...nope never mind

I hope this doesn’t just become a ride placed in this position and it doesn’t connect in with the theming of the area. The concept art I think looks really good. I would much rather they take their time and get it right, rather than rush things to just get it open 

Honestly not sure if its going to look like that of the above or this: 🤔

The whole area based on the concept art looks pretty incredible including the rock work and waterfalls around Leviathan, so lets hope they don't go too away from the concept art, and actually put the effort/money in. 

In regards to timeline, I'm thinking Easter/mid-year for the Vortex, with both Lethavian and Trident being pushed back a few months also. Idk.. based on progress, I just cant see Lethavian opening in December (I hope I'm wrong).

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but a billboard at the front of the park states it’s opening this Easter.

Last update we had on the billboard, which was literally a week ago, says “coming soon”.

 

had that been updated so quickly?

They got a bulk discount from the signmaker:

- "Opening Boxing Day"

- "Opening this Summer"

- "Opening Soon"

- "Opening Easter"

- "Opening this Winter"

Yes, i guess so. Stayed at the resort this weekend and it’s labelled as coming easter. I won’t hold my breath though 🙄

You choose a great weekend to stay at the resort.

Good Friday or Easter Monday?

[Naazon]

Should someone get a photo for @Slick or is it just dreamworld for him?

 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

ermm... @Slick I think that was just referencing you being the billboard guy, rather than anything SW \ DW connected... i think the fountain is a bit harsh...

Slick don't fuck around.  He doesn't have time for our shenanigans.

Sea world really is making a mess of itself isn’t it 😂 the ride was announced mid year and still hasn’t gone vertical. Pretty shocking really

[themagician]

It was because the construction company pulled out, hence the major delays. It wasn’t necessarily Sea worlds fault

But they haven’t announced this or told anyone. So this is just as bad as Sky Voyagers delays. Going silent and not telling anyone.

They told @Richard but it's a secret.

And that's exactly why we should trust them

I don’t know anything about contractors pulling out and I never said you have to trust anyone, least of all me...
