If you can't visit at the drop of a hat and you don't want to waste a visit, then the same advice given regularly applies - wait until the park's posted open date for your best chance (and even then, new rides can hiccup. if you can't visit regularly, wait until it gets through it's first season and let things quieten down)

Yeah I'm gonna wait until Feb to take the trip over, just to let things quiet down and to make sure there's no technical stuff ups.

SOMEone is gonna.  That's a given.  It just doesn't have to be you.

Well that basically solves the mystery.

 

It's TWI_ _ NT

TWIDENT!

 

 

looks like there will be some lighting effects on the giant statute outside of Tridents entrance. The blue lighting on Leviathan looks amazing too;

We all know that I don't like that statue, however, the lighting on it looks good.

 

For what its worth.....

Does it not just spell ‘trident’?

I strongly suspect the Vortex and New Atlantis signs are out of date, the Trident sign matches the TVC.

^I haven't been recently. Have they updated the glyphs on the older signs?

I don't think so, but just looking at it there are symbols that only appear on the old signage. E is totally different and the R has changed. In the TVC (and by extension, on the Trident sign), 'W' is the symbol that looks like a backwards D. E is also correctly represented in the Trident sign, and also appears this way on the ad. The symbol for E on the older signs does not reappear either on the TVC or the Trident sign. In the correct version, the 'R' kinda looks like an 'r'.

 

The reason I think this is because the TVC is very much translatable if you use the Trident sign.

Introducing....

THE TWIDENT!

With VRTP finally announcing an opening date, I thought it was time to renew my pass after not visiting the park for several months. Wow. The scale of everything is very impressive in person and it’s really coming together nicely. A few things to note before my massive photo dump below. The scaffolding is down for Trident and they are currently building a wall to hide those hideous services behind Vortex.

SW just shared this on their Instagram which gives our first look at the rockwork within the queue 

The theming in the queue looks good, pity about that blue shelter thing, I find it really sticks out. Doesn't blend in.

I wonder why they didn't put the rockwork outside the queue too? Would have looked great on the front facade, rather just most grass and mirrors

Having rock work to make up the entry instead of the grace (like the TVC) really would look so much better and fit in so much more.

Leviathan and Trident sites - this image is directly overhead and shows some of the pathways \ thoroughfares in and around Atlantis.

I love how perfect the shot of Leviathan is, I can finally understand the course of the track. It also gives a perspective of how close Patrick’s Jellyfish Frenzy is to the precinct. If the cost wasn’t an issue, I would relocate the attraction and create a much more grand entrance for Atlantis. Visiting the park today, the coaster really felt like it was on top of Nickelodeon land and the tavern.

I do agree, rock work outside the queue would have made a “great” entrance into a “GRAND” entrance, however I’m just happy to see theming for once. It has been so long since we’ve seen decent theming paired with a decent attraction. Here’s hoping they both live up to what I’m seeing in photos & videos in person come 2nd of Dec 🙌🏼

They’ve also updated the billboard and banners at the front and throughout the park. Interestingly all the banners just show leviathan and say rising soon, but there’s no mention of trident (despite it opening the same day). I would’ve thought they’d alternate the banners promoting both attractions

Maybe it's promo material that was produced when Levy and Trident were originally going to open separately?

Either that or they're treating Trident as an B-ticket ride, not being worth much promotion compared to the E-ticket.

The photo below is from Destination Dad n Daughter’s latest video: https://youtu.be/s3uZzGQt8Y0

 

Peeping over the construction fence, you can how much of a bottle neck this entrance to the new Atlantis is. The stairs might be required for fire escape from the tavern, but if they could, I’d be removing them. And I’d also remove that small garden to the left where one of the ninja turtles stands. It just feels like for an entrance into a new precinct and their flagship attraction it’s so tight that it doesnt allow for easy flow of people.

 

Other option is to block it off completely and make people use the themed entrance at Vortex and or make a new one on the north side.

and create a giant dead end? it is what it is, maybe they’ll do something to make it a more thought out transition into the area.

Maybe read a little more.

Anyway, using the main Vortex and this choke point, is more or less making it a dead end.

It’s not though is it. Because it’s juts a secondary access point. The path from Vortex is the main entry. 
But having this way makes it not a dead end. Plus you also have access on the other side of dockside.
