This is definitely a great marketing campaign. It showscases everything great the park has to offer and everything to come. It is such a versatile park with so many different offerings and this one video captures it all. There is so much going on right now and I can’t wait to see what it’s like by the end of next year.

In the Fun House Show promo they say there will be a clown (not the scary kind, we promise), could this be the return on Goldie?

Considering the temple of Huey is reopening in a couple weeks and they haven’t started repainting them yet, I don’t think we will see them repainted until early next year. Instead they’ve just cleaned them for now and repainted the theming

The new ticket offerings are now live on the website. And the new campaign is Big Moment, New Memories. Strangely you can’t just buy a ticket to DW, but you can buy one for just WWW And they’ve confirmed Happy Halloween will return next year

Universal Japan

Sea World Carnivale is back. All new Aquacolour Spectacular. Event is on a few different days this year. Jan 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25. And everything else seems to be the same so far https://seaworldcarnivale.com.au/

I like that they’ve made an effort along that path towards Tiger Island to fit the areas theming And I really like these promotional images they’ve got going. With the progress we’ve seen lately, the shaded seating area will probably be open in time for the holidays

@Gazza Good. Nothing major to note, just a look of ground prep right now. Unfortunately the monorail is closed so we can’t get a view from that angle (and I imagine it will be until the coaster is completed)

The roof framing was removed a couple weeks ago, if a crane is there maybe the new roof is being installed

Or even better, invest in something bigger and better

Lack of single rider slides? What about BRO, Little Rippers, Temple of Huey, Wedgie, Triple Vortex? Unless they’ve changed the rules on single tubes for some of them since I last went. But Fully 6 will definitely be a great addition to this line up

Plenty of work happening across the entire area of the precinct Vortex construction. Still working on ground works with plenty of pipe work visible. I don’t think we will see this open until after the school holidays Leviathan Construction. In some of these photos you can see a timber structure being built which I believe will be the station (someone correct if otherwise). The grass from the Sea Viper site has been removed and replaced by gravel. The seating area next to Jet Rescue has also been removed and instead an extension queue for the ride has been installed. I wonder if this means they are going to adjust the rides entrance since so many just walk straight past it

The new helicopter centre is now open and in full operation. The in park booth is now closed. It will be interesting to see if they utilise it in peak periods. I do like that this now creates a hub for the parks additional experiences

This is that said door

Maybe it will be a more tame slide so it will have less water pressure and speed?

A look at the completed slides. All fencing in the carpark is now gone @Gazza doesn’t seem they will be installed either, which I’m surprised by

It was next to the Penguin Encounter. The building is under the experience bookings area. The entrance door is still visible today

Continuing on from this comment, I was just watching the concept video and you can see a path cutting through the site from BS to GD is there (Right side of images). So either they have changed their minds (which I hope they haven't) or they just didn't add it in to the concept art

I know it has been a few years since it closed, but whatever happened to the Aquarium at the front of the park? And if it closed due to unpopularity, why didn't they change it to something else. As a kid I always remember loving these tanks and seeing the variety of creatures and fish in there.

@AlexB valid point, but I feel something a lot better could be used within that space. I definitely didn't mind when it alternated between the the fast river rapids and the spas. I remember having a good on the original attraction and it was quite good, even if it did become a bit chaotic at times. If anyone doesn't remember it or not what we are on about, here's a video

I would say Block Hole is closed indefinitely because of delays receiving the new roof structure And the whirlpool, they’re crap and very unpopular so they should close

Based off VRTPs track record, these slides are done for

All 6 slides are now fully complete

Probably also the reason why they installed that fencing too around the pathway
