Or maybe not yesterday seeing that there's water in the wave pool at WWW

Wavepool was still empty on 22 July - so the image is no more than a month old.

Side note - wavepool had some work being done in July - anyone know what this is?

Looks like concrete has been pressure washed or They laid new concrete

I believe it has been done to show the sudden change in depths.

Possibly some waterproofing or taking out some of the concrete to help make the waves a little better at a wild guess. 

Most likely tho the wave machine has been serviced and the protective grates (on the back wall) have been repaired or replaced also. 

May I ask why White Water World is no longer operating annually now?

Money. The park had such low attendance in the winter, I’d imagine most days they would be running at a lose or very little profit. Just look at wet n Wild. They are only  operating 3 days a week currently and the car park is still near empty of those days. Usually we’d get the southern tourists who don’t mind this temperature at water parks, but they can’t come to the GC right now. 
 

People complained about the park becoming seasonal when announced, but most of them wouldn’t have visited the park anyways. So closing late April and opening again in September was a smart move.

Judging by the before and after, i'd say this one is the winner

It doesn't look any different in the aerial shot on the previous page which is post-work, so i'd say it was a resurfacing of sorts.

This splashdown is yet to be refilled but the bucket for pipeline plunge has returned 

According to the park website, all of Fully 6 has reopened. But Triple Vortex isn’t open today

thats disappointing. They've had 9+ months to sort out whatever the issue was (i still have no idea what was wrong it with, it's tame AF) 

The website now has Triple Vortex listed as under maintenance for today only.

Could be a pump or electrical failure that's occurred during pre-opening checks. These things do occur. 

I wonder if they made any modifications to Fully Six to rectify the 'risk of internal trauma' or whether they've decided it was a one off?

Other than water pressure, there's not much they could have modified

Fully 6 speed slides still closed, as is Triple vortex.

That's unfortunate. Still fuming over that incident but hope to see it operational again soon...

According to the websites maintenance page Triple Vortex is closed until today and doesn’t list slides 2 and 3 are closing. But on the attractions page it does say it’s closed 

Triple Vortex is being pushed back day by day (don’t expect it to be open soon)

Fully 6 slides 2 and 3 are closed until 31 October

The old coin operated locker system is being fitted with a more modern (and convenient) tap and go style interface 

It’s great to see they’ve done it professionally and used cardboard and tape 👌🏻
 

I also noticed today that they were using a box of lemons to hold open the doors for the eatery area 

Jesus christ get it together. Its not hard to not be this crap.

That's one of the hazards of running a park year round, you don't get a big off season to work on this stuff.

They also had just printed posters on A4 pieces of paper, laminated and zip tied them to fences to advertise the farm yard animals 

So I’ve not witnessed it myself but I’ve been told by my children that the wave pool has been “filled in” at the deep end. I find it hard to believe without being in the pool myself but it would make sense with those pics posted.

Correct. The pool drop off has been filled in. Probably between 1.2m-1.4m at the deepest part now.
