I’ve heard flying theater, building modifications for HOS, Animal Habitat improvements
I feel like it would be the best option not only for the line up but also how late I feel they are starting. For penguin trek I believe they started in January or February of last year. Now we’re in April!?! Hopefully whatever is planned, they do it right, even if they have to take another year. I’m intrigued with the habit improvements… anything big planned? (Larger pools, refurb, more animals?)

I'm hearing a wooden coaster. I've heard two versions of this now. RMC on the scale of Fire in the Hole at Silver Dollar City or maybe a Wild Moose, fully indoors. The other one is a GCI which would do what Penguin trek is doing where it Starts inside of the building then does a bulk of the layout outdoors.

That's another very interesting rumor I've heard (the GCI), but I view the other idea of a simulator way more likely IMO....
 
There is ALOT of noise on the exterior of wild arctic as of right now. I count at least 4 workers out on the roof

Edit: they added this mesh blue wrapping on the scaffolding. Sorry for the bad quality lol

I’ve heard the wooden coaster rumblings too from someone I know that works at the park. If I remember correctly specifically Oscar’s Wacky Taxi/Kentucky Flyer/Bobcat family style Gravity Group was being floated but it very well could be GCI instead.
 
How big is the ride building for Wild Arctic?

So is that saying no major building modifications are supposed to occur?

That's hard to tell. It could be for anything really!

@Seaworld History Do you happen to have the full version of that first photo? Does it happen to say the location or is it just a random project?


After doing a quick google search about type IIB construction:

TYPE IIB (ISO 3): The main structural elements of the walls and roof are unprotected steel. These are light-weight metal buildings like “Butler Buildings” and Quonset Huts. Caution - if metal siding is affixed to wood members, construction is TYPE VB. TYPE IIIA (ISO 2):

Noncombustible Exterior Walls​

Type IIB construction requires the use of noncombustible materials for the exterior walls. These materials, such as steel, concrete, or masonry, provide a high level of fire resistance and protect the building’s structure from external fire hazards.

Interior Building Elements​

Unlike the exterior walls, the interior building elements in Type IIB construction can be made of any material allowed by the building code. This includes combustible materials like wood, which can be used for interior framing, floors, and ceilings.


This could be anything so I'm not going to get to excited until we can confirm the project location but it is very interesting!

Fantastic thank you!

This is great to see! Looks like it will be decently significant changes since it states structural modifications and internal alterations. 50k does seem like a very small number though.
