Leviathan Construction Updates

[themagician]

I agree, but with the the way the park has been designed, it just wouldn’t work because that area includes the back of house, staff area, maintenance area and the storage area for the stunt show

Sorry for being nieve but is it a family coaster or not? It says it's max thrill level but apperently it's only a family coaster. Also what will be the height restriction?

[themagician]

When Storm opened it was advertised as a family coaster, but it’s also listed as Max thrill. You can’t trust VRTP’s interruption because they list WWF and Scooby as thrill rides too.

Based off other coasters of similar thrill that the Gravity Group have done, I’d say it’s minimum height will be 120cm

I came back from Sea World today! And I took some photos of Leviathan. I didn't saw anything happening on site today, But I'm happy that I saw The Wooden Coaster in person today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, I can't post the photos on the forum, Sorry. 😔

Careful about calling them that the Gold Coast journos might get the wrong idea and start reporting on the roller coaster negatively

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Sea World is in incredible mish mash of one way paths, choke points and pointless gates. They need to connect the dots and run a path down the eastern side.

Turn the boat\truck parking into a photo opportunity - i'm sure many kids would love to stand in front of the 'truck' boat for a picture. And you don't need to remove all the other infrastructure - just a simple 4-ish metre wide pathway through the middle. Walking guests past long lengths of bare hoarding doesn't seem to be an issue at the Seal exhibit behind storm, so I don't see the issue - and if they need to close the pathway for a few minutes during the stunt show it wouldn't be a big deal.

Plus, put some nice imagery, educational information about the animals etc, maybe install some seats on the far (road) side facing the lake with some speakers so if people have walked down that way and gotten held up by the show, they can sit and watch the show?

I'm sure these people who are actually paid to run theme parks could improve on my spitballed, spur of the moment ideas - so its definitely doable.

That side of the park is the only day time operation ‘back of house’ access for vehicles, plant and other services. You’d also have to pass through back of house staff areas and maintenance workshops to get to it. Else you’d have to go in front of the dock which obviously can’t work because then it’s not a dock. 
 

Yes there are terrible chock points in the park, but opening that path to guests just isn’t an option. 

[joz]

I mean it is an option, but it would be an unreal amount of work to make it not shit, and ultimately it's a lot of money to spend on basically nothing.

[Levithian]

Should just fill in the lake and get it over with already. They keep eating into it, getting smaller and smaller. The stunt show is just a shell of it's former self, will anyone really miss it? Think of all that space for new rides!

Alternatively...... 😂

[Jdude95]

Y'know, some form of skyway would be a wonderful way to get people from the front of the park to the middle...

[Coasterlife]

Does anyone know the reason why they closed the cable cars

[Rachelkinks]

@Coasterlife was getting very old and maintenance heavy. I also think it wouldve been removed after TRRR  as it wasn't up to today's safety standards

Not much effort to replace it with a new system though. It’s just a couple of towers, gondolas and drive system. 
skyways are still very big business today worldwide.

Great to see Sea World looking like a theme park again and not a glorified Aquarium!

[themagician]

@HussRainbow87 well they do call themselves a marine park

I mean yeah.... but it’s been lacking as of late and having things just sit there like Vikings is a bit sad to see. Already with the Top Spin and the coaster it’s feeling fresh!

I wasn't sure it would, but the wood is REALLY blending in well with the park. It's a nice colour.
