The two then strapped in for the opening spin on Vortex.

Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby and Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate performed the ribbon cutting.

Vortex officially opened on 21 December 2020.

And the overall feel of The New Atlantis feels "fresh", if nothing else. Once open and completed it should create a sense of kinetic energy that Sea World's been sorely lacking for many years.

Leviathan has quickly towered over Sea World in the few short months since construction commenced.

The New Atlantis definitely has really impressive visuals. If it weren't for that abrupt plant building in the middle of it all...

The Vortex theming where the bold, modern colours means that yet again bird poop will be an ongoing challenge to clean.

The 3D ripple effects in the logo means that it catches the sunlight whichever angle you look at it. And the bold light blue LED strips are bright even during daylight. At night this area will no doubt look very schmick.

The signage is sharp. Let's hope this fibreglass and plastic can hold up in years to come with the combined effects of chlorinated cascades, salty sea air and sunlight.

The ride is significantly quieter than Wipeout as well, which is a welcome sound for anyone that was worried how it would affect the area's ambience.

Vortex
Sea World
The ride is capable of some very impressive maneuvers. While not as complicated and twisted as Dreamworld's former Wipeout -- which it will forever be compared to -- it holds its own with speed and sheer forcefulness that Wipeout never had.

Testing is ongoing on Vortex ahead of its opening in coming weeks. Here technicians fine-tune the attraction while it slowly performs rotations.

Other sight lines however are great. The backdrop of Leviathan's wooden structure certainly helps Vortex stand out.

Perhaps the most glaring omission so far is the lack of effort to theme the plant building alongside Vortex. It's a blight on the otherwise tranquil dolphin pools and pleasant view from Dockside Tavern, and will be seen by every single guest as they make their way around and out of the theme park each day.

Once these vines take hold there should be some welcome greenery and shade.

It's certainly different from the simple tropical gardens that were once the backdrop to these dolphin pools, but the area has an overall nice, bright vibe to it.

The entry visuals are quite pleasant.

Birds have gone to town on poor old Poseidon. This'll no doubt be a challenge to keep clean in years to come, and might be one area where this modern interpretation of Greek mythology wasn't entirely thought through and an aged marble or oxidised copper effect might weather a little better.

So far the "theme" for the area consists of this lone statue, presumably of Poseidon.

But getting past the island, The New Atlantis does offer some very impressive visuals.
