I've only been there once when I wa younger and all I remember about it was the monorail/train. I remember it went up a hill past this lake where some mechanical creature came out of the lake and sprayed water. Once it got to the top of the hill it went around a couple of corners and then we got off and walked around the banna trees

^I just had a look on SWs page and people have asked when it would be opening and SW replied saying this September.

^Despite the bad spelling grammar, I don't think it is a teenager. There are photos of a man on a number of photos of him with characters, or him visiting different parks across the world. I have also seen him at MW before taking photos. I would say he must have some connections with VRTP because sometimes he has posted behind the scenes photos. I'd recommend that he changes the name to 'The Movie World, Sea World and Disneyland Social Network'

Gold Coast Theme Parks have posted this on their FB

Thanks for those photos. SW aren't messing around with it.

More construction photos:

This shows how much land was reclaimed: I also hope that they don't use all of that land that I outlined, but I'm thinking that they will. I don't think that the will use SV old site, for me it just seems out of place and too tucked away for flat rides and small coaster. I'm imagining that this upgrade will be like DW's upgrade to their kids area, they will re-arange the rides and install a few more rides. But for an additional 4 rides including a kids coaster, I don't think that the left side of the reclaimed land will be enough. Just my opinion

In my opinion I would say that the new kids area will take up the red area, with the roller coaster taking up the blue area (Green area being COTD). I think it would be good if they did theme it around Nickelodeon, but as said the license won't last, so I think a neutral theme like what they have now would be fine.

^i think the hallway illusion refers to the mirror that you look at just before the left turn to the elevator

I'm thinking that it will be permanent. If it is as popular as dinosaur island, then it probably will be. At least it fits the theme better

I don't think they need to do a nickelodeon retheme. I like the theme they have got and the minor message that some rides put through (rubbish in the ocean).

Some more of the sea creatures have been/are being installed:

The smoke at the train part of the WWF, has been there for a couple of years now, but it I a good touch. I also think that the water on SE hasn't been working for a while, which is a shame. Despite the AA Barnes setting tight on the legs, I'd much rather have sore legs for a minute than a headache. I'm fairly sure that single rider queue was added during the maintenance period. And I definitely agree about HWSD2. It's corny, and explosion is pointless. The stunts are good, but there is no real story to the show, and the theming is all out of place. And even though they have removed the jumps, in the trailer part of the show, the bikes and jumps are visible at some points. I think the park need to refresh the show, and really sit down, sort the theme out, get a good story line, which has good stunts, comedy and crowd interaction.

To the people that went last year and have been again this year. Is the event/food/parade the same, or are their noticeable differences? And what are the ride queues like?

From the photos I've seen I can't fully tell the full area of land it will take up. I think it would be good if the attraction incorporated part of the streams/lakes water for some of the creatures. Unless the reclaimed land is just being used as a storage area at this stage, I'm imagining that the attraction will take up this area: I am hoping that the area in the blue will be used for an extension for the kids area. I think a kids coaster would be great addition. I agree with you Zanstabar, I too am excited for this and will be a great addition to the park.

The whales and sharks have arrived:

^I 100% agree. But I just thought I would post them so we can all see the progress if people hadn't already seen these photos.

^I didn't think he was 15. They sometimes post photos on their page with a guy in them and I'm fairly certain that is the guy who runs the page. More creatures have arrived and installation has begun:

More components and creatures have arrived:

Dreamworld now other mobile charging stations. Located in the outside eatery at Food Central, near the ATM & just inside the Market place entrance next to the Kodak shop. Cost is $2 for a 30 minute charge, plus longer charging is available. They are secure, with easy user instructions on the machine. Keys cannot be removed when not in use: lost keys will require a security check before re-opened by a supervisor

SW have updated the info on their website:

More creatures of the deep have arrived:

I found this image showing Superman at MW

^DW have updated there website for the maintenance and will be reopening tomorrow.
