@joz absolutely and they absolutely know more than me about dolphins. But if my general knowledge on the topic, that was the first thought that came to mind, and I’d like to think they considered all this before construction

What was concerning to see is they have put dolphins back in the lagoon around Vortex. While the ride isn’t operating it’s okay, but I really hope they don’t keep them in there when the rides up and running. SW do great things for the marine world, but dolphins heavily rely on sound to communicate and manoeuvre, and Vortex will be producing a lot of sound. Will be a bit of a concerning decision if they’re kept in there

Apparently WWF was in testing today

@Levithian I just looked at some older photos and yes they were. I just forgot they were

I finally took my big camera lens to the park today so I could go some close ups of Vortex now that it is complete and there are a few details we haven't yet noticed There is a sign on the right side of this wall (the one with the ride logo), most likely the rides name There are some thematic elements carved into the walls There are a couple fish and squid in the bottom left corner. And a bit of a closer look at the restraints I hope these Tvs play something in relation to the ride, rather than generic VRTP ads. But I think a mural or more thematic elements would have been much nicer for this large surface area. Technical stuff Hmmmmm I do really love these. I really hope they are covered up in some way once the whole area is complete The ride does seem to have some good bones and 'nice' thematic touches. But I really wish it had turned out how the original concept artwork showed. Less blue and more rock/stone work. That could have really made the queue area immersive.

I thought I'd start a seperate forum for Leviathan specific construction updates, so that we can easily follow the coaster in one place. This was my first time seeing the vertical construction progress, so I took my big camera lens to the park to get some close up shot of the construction Overview: Close ups: Despite the coaster not yet reaching it max height, it can already be seen for a lot of different points across the park

The arms have been removed from Doomsday and have been taken off site The work on the WWF entrance seems to be complete and they have rebuilt the cabin The Fun House is still closed and partition walls have been added. It isn't clear what they are there for No noticeable works happening on Sylvester’s Pounce’n’Bounce

Boots' Banana Boogie has returned Not much has changed on Jet Resue

The wall to the left of the entrance has been painted

A couple things to note for MW and SW SW have changed the way you move around Shark Bay. The touch pool is now not accessible at all. Instead you cross the bridge, so left, go down to the viewing, back up then right towards the bridge and back across At MW they now have A frames before the ticket booths stating what rides are closed And the extended queue area for Superman is massive. It is the entire indoor queue area, stretches towards the AA entry, down this path and then back again.

I don’t think there will be new trains because when it became Hot Wheels, it got new trains. I think it’s more that the train will get a new look to match the retheme

It’s available today

Mostly likely because they are waiting on a part to arrive from overseas

For me, I don’t think Sea World has any iconic attractions now. For WnW, its probably Mammoth Falls and the lazy river. Movie World it’s Superman, Scooby and Wild West Falls And Dreamworld it’s Giant Drop and Claw

And in the fountain at the parks entrance

And potentially they could do an around the world one too

The floor in Calypso Beach has also been resurfaced

The video will also be longer, running for 9 minutes

Crane lifting pieces in place that has already doubled the coasters height

True. I did see a few weeds though. So they’re weed beds In regards to Raging Waters. I assume that method is what they are doing at their international parks, but I don’t think that system works here. And you have to reserve the day and time you want to go. Which could mean, you can’t spontaneously go. And limiting at 500 people is crazy. Isn’t that park bigger than WnW, and yet their allowing a few thousand (50%). The park already isn’t that popular, and this will make it even less appealing. I guess with a 4 hour session and only 500 people allowed, that in theory means you’ll be able to get on all slides, possibly multiple times. Which could make the $50 worth it

Plenty of action happening at Dreamworld and WWW today. You can really see they are wanting to get the park looking it’s best for its opening next week. New signage at the entrance Garden beds are getting new mulch and there were Gardner’s at the entrance gates Slides at WWW are getting tested too

Introducing an all-new experience on Dreamworld's #1 attraction, Sky Voyager! For a limited time, you can take flight and see America's greatest sights aboard Sky Voyager Experience USA, with the new film available daily from 10:00AM – 3:30PM upon the park's 16 September re-opening. Aboard Sky Voyager Experience USA, you will experience iconic locations such as the islands of Hawaii, the city scape of New York and Niagara Falls, just to name a few. You can still journey around Australia from 3:30PM - 5:00PM daily with free passage across state borders for some of the country’s most incredible sights. I think this is a great addition and shows how easily they can change the attraction when they want. And it’s good to see they are still offering the Australia version, so really you get two attractions in one. Hopefully they advertise this in park as it will give people a reason to re-ride it

I agree with @AlexB, but I’ll also add Vortex, Stingray and Reef Diver from Dreamworld and the Speed Coaster and Twister from WnW

I’ve never been on a wooden coaster, so I’m excited to see what the fuss is all about
