Car park is overflowing today

Definitely. Seeing these before and after pics shows how bad they had gotten over the last 14 years. The Rip looks so much nicer, hopefully they have refurbished inside the bowl too (I’m sure they have). I can’t wait to see the little rippers and temple of Huey once they are done because they are looking the worst with all the bird shit and dirt

Yeah I’m fairly certain. I definitely get what you are saying though, but I drive past the park most days and watched them repaint the entire funnel

Both halves were repainted, how ever the top part was painted a darker tone because it isn’t exposed to water

Good to see they are even promoting the repainting on social media

Im not loving that colour scheme. The red and yellow don't work. But anyways... great to see they are investing into this park.

I love little touches and attention to detail like this. Yes it is an A-frame, but at least it isn't a generic maintenance sign. Well done DW

Here’s my contribution to the photo updates

I can confirm that the Shell seating was removing for an event. Because the amphitheater has been demolished, this is where presentation events are now held @MickeyD the water is like that because they had had the fountains turned off for a while

I agree and understand, but when the event first began they had 4 mazes and there were heaps of characters around the park. Over the years they’ve slowly cut back and finally they have 5, but I wasn’t expect anymore than previous years, but even less is a shame, especially when pricing has gone up over the past few years too

Once the slab is down, I imagine it will only take a couple of weeks for the ride to be installed. And testing to begin soon after. It may seem tight with it now being October. I would imagine it will soft open mid Dec and official on Boxing Day

SW are finally trying to resolve the sea gull issue they’ve always had at the front of the park and in The Plaza. Netting has been installed across the railing to the roof and many many wind chimes in the plaza

Construction fencing has arrived in the car park. So we should start seeing parts arriving very soon

In regards to precincts it seems like they have forgotten what they did the first year they ever had ‘precincts’. They has the Zombieland one around the fountain and there was theming everywhere and even some of the smaller precincts were themed. If they want to have precincts, they need to theme them. Because otherwise you could just chuck in some characters and be done. Why go to all this effort in creating a story and then not really do anything with it. Obviously hell born is just music so they can get away with that one. Dead West they could add a few additional elements but not overly necessary because it’s in WWF, but the other two down Main Street. You’ve got this entire roof and cables on the facades to utilise, but don’t

@Adventures With JWorld but was the food any good?

Officially from December last year, but the Jet Streams first closed for ‘maintenance’ two years ago

Nope. Hasn’t been touched.

The centre should be opening within the next couple of weeks

The BRO repainting has begun

Awesome job DW. This park will seem like its brand new by the end of the year

Testing was happening today

From what I could see today, they’ve been removed. To be fair, if they were to remove the splash pad completely it would’ve been turned into a seating area. But it would have been a good location to have the Tom and jerry meet and greet. They would’ve required a shelter however

Couple more photos of MWs poor attempt with Tom and Jerry There are however some lengthy queues to meet the characters
