Looks like the ride has started to really come together today.

Construction is coming along nicely. Theming of the ride is looking even better. Can't wait for this to open.

Thanks Jindsell, I was really worried because we hadn't seen any new theme park webpages pop up recently. I was scared because there was a great void in my life as I had no place to go to discuss themeparks and look at watermarks with pictures in the background.

Thank you Jindsell. Thank you for filling that void.

Thrillz also posted these photos:

The Claw's paint works is coming along nicely:

The River Rapids fence is getting replaced, maybe people will be able to watch riders as they go past again:

Is it possible they'll be adding water cannons as an upcharge down the fence line?

[themagician]

^I would imagine that it is possible. Does anyone know why the fence was raised along there? I have seen images where people used to be able to watch as people go past. Was it due to someone falling in, or people throwing items at riders?

I knew I forgot something, watermarks...

The ride theming is really good, If i didn't know better i would have thought they were tearing an old rusty ride compared to a new ride being built. And with "Reef Diver" gone it really adds a whole new perspective in to how that section of ocean parade looks. Dw must be reading these forums because practically everything that we have mentioned that that was reasonable has been changed.

While we are on Tailspin and the mention of Reef Diver, has there been any update on the possible sale of Reef Diver yet?

[Jakev8]

There's 1 of our cranes :)

For those interested, I was at dreamworld for an hour this morning and basically all the seats are now attached for tailspin. Looks close to completion besides the queue. Didn't see any noticeable changes on triple vortex though.

^get pics

and sharkie looking good.

I really can not understand why the water under wipeout is only 1/4 full! Does anyone know why? It just looks silly from a distance.

[lolman123]

^if it was full it would overflow onto the footpath eather side of the extended viewing area and so children don't put their feet into the water.

I think JLindsell and I were there the same day, work's really progressing along.

It's going to be big - the ride is snug up against the Wipeout and Shockwave.

A closer look at the action taking place.

Cranes, cherry pickers and workers galore were onsite to bring this behemoth together.

A did a quick write-up with some other angles to checkout here.

[Reanimated35]

Thanks for the photos.

For me though, way too much saturation/vibrance used there.

[Slick]

Cheers - I'll agree with the middle pic but there's only so many hours in the day to make it perfect.

[westical]

That's what I forgot, watermarks AND post-processing.

[bladex]

they did a good job with the theming the damn thing looks so dangerous to ride with all that rust!

[Brad2912]

Did you ever ride Sea Viper? That rust was real...
