From inside the theme park it's every bit as bold as from outside.
With such a bold structure it will give the iconic Dreamworld entrance a run for its money as the focal point of the theme park. It really solidifies the vision at the theme park to put the focus on third party brands over Dreamworld's own identity.
The Lego theme to the $3.5 million development is really starting to show.
The Lego Centre comes together at the front of the park.
It's the kind of thing that is quite common at European parks, and goes well with the many flags that flank the entrance.
The new banners greeting guests in various languages at the front of the park are an interesting touch.
A screen at the front of the park very prominently indicates which attractions are and aren't operating, with a curious mention of operating at "heightened capacity". Given all of the attractions currently open – mostly minor children and family rides – can more or less only operate at their standard capacity it's hard to see any discernible increase in throughput anywhere in the park.
The entrance has been adorned with Christmas decorations.
Between drilling and filling with reinforced steel and concrete, it's best that construction workers don't fall down these holes that are 5-10 metres deep in some cases.
Drilling is underway.
The blue spraypainted ? on the ground is the location to drill piles for footings. In the background we can see that clearing is underway for what would be the logical station area for a roller coaster given its ease of access from within Movie World.
Along the road into Movie World, construction starts to work its way closer towards the park.
Said creepy caravan. Perhaps the plans for a hotel in the area are less impressive than we'd hoped, or they're workshopping ideas for Fright Nights 2017?
We know what you're asking: but where do the construction crew park? The answer is here, right near the really creepy caravan in the background.
Everyone's favourite ditch and roller coaster construction site.
Drilling and concreting continues towards Wet'n'Wild.
Lots more footings to go.
Some of the footings are appearing very close to the swamp. Their relatively low height indicates that if this does become the planned lake area, then it'll be cleared and dug down to form a body of water rather than built up as a dam.
Six particularly large footings at various stages of completion.
But many more footings still are yet to be placed as evidenced by the amount of steel reinforcing still on site.
