So do we a reckon another enclosure for folks to look into ala The Lair part of Tiger Island? Maybe it's for the cougars?

Remember @Slick, DW already announced everything that will be part of Stage 2 back when Stage 1 opened. You can read it all here.

Thanks @Jamberoo Fan, I think the sign had already cleared things up.

Guys check out the colour of the footing bolts - i'm confident that we'll see track on site next week for the new 'Tiger Coaster'.

Alternative headline:

"Dreamworld Hyper confirmed"

You are wrong @AlexB Everybody knows Hyper coasters bolts are beige.

To help me out what are they building in stage 2?

Pool for Tiger Water Coaster confirmed!

Also something I noticed during today's presentation, is they put up a temporary barrier on either side of the seats down at the front, to stop people standing/walking along during the show. As in the past, people would stand right in front of someone and then they can't see anything. And they also were stopping people from taking prams up into the seating, and directing them to the pram holding area.

Seems odd they're only doing that now rather than during peak holiday season. Unless it was happening then too. 

[themagician]

When I last when and watched a presentation early January, they weren't doing any of that and it was definitely a pain when trying to get out with prams everywhere, and for the kids down at the front steps, they couldn't see the tigers. So was good they released the issue and resolved it.

[Reanimated35]

Yeah definitely good they resolved it, just odd they waited til after the busier time to do it. 

[themagician]

They might have resolved it since I last visited during a presentation, but first time anyone on here has taken notice 

[rac2703]

I noticed that it was one of the most complained about aspects of the park on Facebook, so it's good to see Dreamworld listening and implementing changes.

There's more detailed information about Stage 2 here.

[Reanimated35]

So you don't have to go back pages for no real reason, 

The second stage of the precinct opening by Christmas will include

•    a new Sumatran Tiger habitat to showcase Dreamworld’s three Sumatran tigers and the park’s contributions to the Sumatran Tiger Global Species Management Program
•    A world class lair for Dreamworld’s non-contact tigers
•    A children’s crawl through tunnel and strategically placed windows in the lair and Sumatran Tiger habitat enabling guests to safely experience being face-to-face with a tiger
•    enhanced guest experience areas 

Mr Davidson said he expected the park’s popular tiger photo experiences and tiger presentations to start by Christmas once the tigers had settled into their new home.

They've now fenced off the corner of TI

Train is currently closed due to the construction

A new hut has been installed as part of stage 2. Hopefully this means they will make this entrance just as visually appealing as the main entrance (Image TPSN)
