^There is still plenty of testing happening. It opens in one week tomorrow.

That's great to hear it's open. Can you tell us about it? Any parts to it we haven't seen so far?

^Do you work at MW?

As others have said about JL, I would say that MW have had to design the ride to suit the space. But I think its good that they have done it this way because the actual layout of MW wouldn't be as exciting. Down main street go left or right and then eventually come to a dead end and have to turn around and see the same things again. It looks like the way they have done Driving school is so that the roads continuously flow, except for Main Street. But it has been positioned so parents can see their kids driving down towards them, so they can take photos. MW have said that there will be lights on the Roxy Theatre. I hope there are a few other buildings which light up. I think it will be good if there are a few animatronics as well. In a photo a couple of pages back we saw Scooby-Doo sticking his head slightly out of a barrel. It would be good if as kids drove past, he would rise out of it a little. From what I have seen so far I am impressed and think it will be a great addition and will be very popular.

Posted on FB by WnW: Some of you have noticed the fencing and construction happening at Wet'n'Wild at the moment, so we thought we'd share the exciting work being done! Coming soon are some new shade structures beside the Giant Wave Pool for the hot Summer months, we're updating some of our flooring and paint work, and we're improving some of our stores. We hope to see you soon!

MW posted this on FB. They have said that Roxy Theatre will have flashing lights: It looks like there will be a fountain at the beginning of Main Street.

Thrillz Updates: - Tail Spin: http://www.thrillz.com.au/tailspin-construction-9th-september/ - Throughout Dreamworld: http://www.thrillz.com.au/worlds-update-dreamworld-9th-september/ Tail Spin: The large plane has been put in place and the concrete has been painted blue. Throughout Dreamworld: Cameras haven't been installed yet on GD. The timber walkway next to the GD (leading down to log ride) has been lacquered.

It looks like Buccaneer Bay is loosing its name and will become a part of WnW Junior.

Just went past DW and it appeared that the GD gondola had a camera on it. Couldn't 100% tell though, can anyone confirm this.

^Yes and No. It seems the first 3 nights are $30, then the next 2 nights are $40, then the next 4 are $50. It seems strange that they have done this though.

Posted by MW on FB. Here is a closer look at the cars:

Tickets are now available for non-pass holders.

^Exactly. When families go to parks they want to ensure that their kids have a great time, because for most parent seeing smiles on their kids faces is all they want at the end of the day. And it seems like Driving School will be an attraction which will make kids happy. Being able to drive around and not as limited as you are on the Taxi's. We have had a number of good rides aimed for the thrill seekers installed at MW over the past few years, so it is about time that they install a new attraction just for kids.

^I don't think the rail would be electrified due to safety reasons. When you press down on the accelerator the motor/engine revs, so I would say a modified engine.

Here are those photos:

Sea World update, photo source: The Theme Park Social Network The Sea Viper has been completely demolished now. All that lays there now is a large open space: The upper section of the bridge is now gone. It now makes the space look a lot more cleaner and open: The pathway where the train line crossed has been re-laid: Other sections of pathway are having some work done to them:

^I agree. I didn't get a chance to do the walking dead maze last year, but I did do the HB maze and there was at least 12 actors.I remember there were 3 actors in the one area.

They said last year there were 4 all new mazes. Yes they had walking dead in 2012, but the maze was different last year. So there is a chance that there could be one again this year, but I personally doubt it.

It seems that people forget that they can turn that phone sideways. Especially when they go to themeparks.

Here is the video:

^Maybr it's a soft opening, or they just got some people to try it out, or were filming for an advert

The_Ninja_59 is there any chance you could get some photos of Triple Vortex and see if the fence along river rapids has been replaced yet?

^There was a billboard in Oxenford, that advertised the ride for about 5 months or so.

The GD reopens on Monday, so the next time people visit could they have a look to see if cameras have been installed.

I do hope they change it to Rio, it would be much better than journey 2.
