There's a boat somewhere in there.
All of the buildings in this area have a bright, larger than life comic book style.
The wackily detailed preshow room.
Some of the framework of the ride building can be seen, photo taken late June 2007.

There's some new rockery in the splashdown lagoon too.
The upgrade on Viking's Revenge is coming along nicely, with much of the new lift in place, and a catwalk on the side.
The pit still needs much more dirt removed on the left side if the small white markers are anything to go by.
The damp weather doesn't appear to have dampened the work on Sea Worlds latest ride.
One of the biggest changes is a large pit that has been dug where the station seems to be going.
It looks as if a zig zagging, slalom type section will be one of the elements.
The twisting layout continues to the front of the site. Instead of a simple u-turn leading to the station, an S bend has been added in the middle.
Some footers at the back end of the site. This is right near an animal pool, so one would imagine the pool would be moved, or sound screened.
The circular footers and pentagonal bolt arrangement suggests the ride will use Intamins conventional support system, rather than the unique style seen on Mick Doohans Motocoaster.
Another feature is a sharp u-turn that goes from under the monorial, from side and back again, brushing past Corkscrews support structure.
At the top of the picture you can see that a chunk of the railway track has been removed for site access reasons, hence explaining that rides closure during construction.
