BuzzSaw is currently under testing

There hasn't been much happening this week @downunder. There has been a bit of earth moving, and the remainder of the concrete columns are being finished. But I imagine over the next couple of weeks there won't be any major works

I'd say it will temporarily be there until the ride is removed in a couple years time

Sorry @Jamberoo Fan my mistake

You can't see river rapids from MDMC, and they have completely hidden the river rapids from view when in the gold rush area

They were there when I visited last week, strange.

Mammoth Falls has now reopened, despite the website still saying its closed for Maintenance

Yeah, people were trying to. Thought they were in a stupid spot, and they are basically behind the other thing that you have a photo in

New shading is finished in Shark Bay And don't know if these are new or have never noticed them, but shade sails have been installed over the outside queue area for Strom

Slide completely installed now, workmen working on and underneath slide, looking like they were working on the pumps. New billboard and checkered flags too. Single LED displays have been installed at the base of the slide over each lane too. And there are new black mats for the slide

Work was occurs on the HWSW, with a workmen inspecting the loop. The GD gondolas were also being tested with them moving up/down very slowly

They did say that they were planning to have it open by Christmas. But I haven't been to the park in a week and a half, so don't know how close they are to finishing it, but I agree with @Santa07 and say it would probably be ready by NY or not long afterwards

^Yeah to my knowledge that is what they did. But I did never see any scaffolding, so maybe they used a scissor-lift or were able to do most of it from the stairs.

And it was leaking quite a lot under neath, the stairs were a bit dodgy in places, the slide was faded, and the position signs didn't work most of the time. So this refurbishment was definitely needed. I don't think there was anything wrong with the slide structurly, hence why it wasn't replaced, and instead the paint work was taken off (that also enabled them to check over it and replace any of it if needed).

i still think the pathway that leads from GL, BW and JL will be used. That was is very unutilised last JL enterance, and it would make perfect sense to have it go from there. Going from SE and AA would cause to many issues with crowds, the queue that people wait in to go to those rides before 10, is already long enough at times, adding a 3rd coaster enterance from here would make it even more rediculous

They didn't muck around today

The scaffolding has begun its construction for the night show at DW (Photo: TPSN)

The slide pieces are starting to be installed this morning (Photo: TPSN)

Yeah it is still 8 lanes

Oh wow, I didn't expect that. Well hopefully it's just as good as it was at MW.

I think the pink is just so it stands out

The maintence page has just been updated and is now reopening Boxing Day
