Launch of Sea World’s new rides postponed AGAIN

 $50m theme park upgrade launch has been postponed for a fourth time, with supply problems pushing completion of the precinct past its scheduled September 3 launch date.

But there has been progress at The New Atlantis precinct, with the rollercoaster Leviathan taking its first train for a spin.

Once complete, the new $20m Leviathan will be one of the largest wooden roller coasters in the world – and the first to include backward facing seats.

DELAYS

The New Atlantis was set to feature two new attractions - the Leviathan and the Trident. Initially due to launch in mid-2021, unavoidable transport issues have pushed that back.

Sea World has now removed the launch date on its website, opting for the safer description of “rising soon” for both the Leviathan and the sky-high spinning tower Trident.

UPDATE

Village Roadshow spokesman Mitch Olivey said government approvals formed part of the commissioning process for the new rides at the precinct.

Our team is also conjointly working on construction and commissioning of the Trident attraction and we are working tirelessly to get the rides opened as soon as safely possible.
