The Parkz Update: Sea World, March 2013

Parkz stopped by Sea World to take a a quick look at how the groundwork progresses on their new water coaster.

Update By Richard Wilson
26 March 2013

Ground preparation continues on Sea World's water coaster.

The gutted bermuda triangle show building is still little more than an enclosed dirt patch.

Let's hope that Sea World puts some effort into restoring the landscaping once the construction is complete.

The pumps seen in the lower left are running around the clock to keep the construction area dry so that work can continue.

Some of the pooling of water is seen here. With the wet season nearing an end in south-east Queensland the work should be able to progress with few distractions until opening.

This solid block of concrete will soon support the water coaster's steel structure.

What could be under these footing-shaped boxes???

Elsewhere at Sea World...

Sea Viper nears the end of its six weeks of downtime.

That the ride has its own dedicated downtime signage either speaks volumes for Village Roadshow Theme Parks' art department, or for just how unreliable Sea Viper has become since its transition from Corkscrew.
