So is that the old train? I thought the Arrow trains were stored underneath the Sea Viper. Still that's pretty cool.

 

Wonder where the Arrow trains went? Probably sold :(

If I had had any money at the time I would have bought the entire train. Not sure what I would have done with it as I have no track to run it on. Could think of many things to do with old roller coaster cars, including one of my pet projects where I would have converted one into a petrol powered go-kart, not as fast as the stripped down racing equivalents but with plenty of grunt to get from A to B. :)

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:

Thanks for the update Flea. I don't think many of us were expecting 'instant' work to begin on the site for anything else, but i'm glad they've tidied it up.

If it's going to sit there a while, it'd be nice if the park would spent a bit on it - some turf, tables and chairs or picnic type umbrellas or the like - take some of the pressure off the main "eating area" for seating, especially for families that brought their own lunch.

Hell - even if they put up a volleyball net, or a "water wars" slingshot attraction (upcharge$!)... just something to fill the void so it doesn't look like so much vacant space... until they're ready to build again.

Of course it depends on the timeline - but if it's there for 12 months, they should improvise in the meantime.
