As trial operations continue so do the photos:
Landscaping around the kiddie ride area is almost complete but the little coaster and jumping tower aren't open yet. Notice the Steel Dolphin coaster barn has been covered by banners.
A large viewing area along the blue fence is set up for guests to watch shows taking place in the canal - this will be especially popular once the nighttime water parade begins
Notice on the bridge the transition from the tundra to a warmer climate
New banners before the dolphin show starts
The park's signature volcano stands out from everything else in the area
Inside the volcano the whale sharks and manta rays still haven't arrived but mermaids and a sea turtle has and the restaurant is now open
Entrance to the Cable Car ride on the polar side
The outdoor seating at the Sand Castle Restaurant hasn't been set up yet
Scenic views of the polar mountain as the landscaping comes in place of the scaffolding
