Storm Coaster construction

Storm is definitely towering over the park now.

The pathways are open again with Storm Coaster offering a few obstacles along the way. Hopefully this area will remain open and unobstructed.

Hopefully something is done about the barren garden beds surrounding the Flume Ride.

Construction inches forward on the ride's elaborate theming.

Finishing touches are put on the housing for the airtime hill water cascades..

Looking over the construction site from the monorail, the gentle sweeping turns of Storm Coaster look a lot less twisted.

The pools that will surround the main drop have been sealed for waterproofing in preparation for filling.

The pathways can be seen, marked by marina-esque wooden posts. The whole area is looking very lively as the theme comes together.

Out the back at Seal Harbour the extension of the show building for Storm Coaster can be seen coming together.

Still a few patches needed on the building.

Shipping containers seem to be the default construction item.

The ride starts with a short, gentle boat trip into the lift hill.

Polar Bear Shores extension

The new extension to Polar Bear Shores is now open.

Just because it's open, doesn't mean you'll see much. At this early stage of the bear's life it's a bit of a gamble as to whether you'll get to see anything at all.
