Levithian 226 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Looks like they used the pile driver to build a dyke, or at the least, retaining walls. Can see the panels driven into the ground and a few unused ones laying on their side in the first photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 243 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Now this is how you do a 'modern' take on an Atlantis themed land. https://www.themeparks-eu.com/news/full-details-of-aqualantis-at-energylandia-in-2020 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joz 2,794 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Nah you're supposed to keep it sparse with rides in inappropriate far flung places, and the rides should have really abstract themes. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Coaster Hipster 203 Posted November 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Coming late to the party but I'm really excited about Leviathan. The Gravity Group delivers very decent woodies with lots of airtime (quantity-wise at least) and great pacing. Great to see Australian parks picking up the pace, and it seems Sea World will have a good 1-2 combo with Jet Rescue 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

themagician 5,380 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 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 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whombex 629 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I just made myself sad. Saw the pics above and wondered how the area would look as seen from Sky High Skyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gazza 2,265 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 How does it look when viewed from Sky Flyer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 5,380 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) @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) Edited November 27, 2019 by themagician 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 5,380 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Nearmap update from Dec 2 Plenty of ground works happening And you can see the work that’s been happening on the SV site and the grey roof near the monorail track is the structure I took photos of the other week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 5,380 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 SW monorail will now be closed until Leviathan opens 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colonelbmx 314 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hopefully they might add some aircon to the monorail while it’s down, Apparently construction is 8 weeks behind so that would mean end of January early February for Vortex opening? lots of ground movement now Also, so I guess you can say leviathan construction has officially started Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They might want to hold off the extra month until the easter holidays come around? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 5,380 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Air conditioning won’t and can’t be added as the monorails don’t have enough clearance in some stations and in their maintenance bay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would be great to add some aircon as it is a nice scenic ride and with little kids it is a fair walk from end to end but its like a sauna most days, maybe a new station in Atlantis wouldn't go astray either but I think thats probably pushing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joz 2,794 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I really hope if it's down for a year it's getting some proper love, poor thing is in a bit of a state. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
