More marketing for the ride can also be seen dotted around the park. No sign of any track or supports for the ride yet.

A couple of weeks ago we reported that Octopus Gardens was to be shut to make way for a brand new water ride opening in 2011 and today we have a update of the deconstruction of the area. Most of the rides are now off site with just a few items remaining.

On Thursday 8th July 2010 the ride planes for the brand new ride which latter on would be called Storm Surge where realised to the public. At the time before this there where lots of people saying that the ride was going to be a top spin ride. However the rumours that where strong where wrong the ride was en-fact going to be a Water Rapids ring boat ride. This ride was brought from Cypress Gardens in exchange for another ride which merlin had which was called the jungle coaster which used to be at Legoland Windsor park. But was taken down due to reliability issues.
