The galleon peeking over the shrubbery separating the lakes, notice the Jolly Roger's flying on the courtyard turrets.

The trough meanders around the galleon, still only partialy complete. A new access bridge has been constructed to link the galleon to the station building.

A close look at the back of the galleon.

A set of targets in barrels hang from a frame and pulley winch system.

A closer look at the connecting bridge and galleon.

The station building will mimic the style of the current courtyard buildings to fit into the area.

When full, the water level will submerge almost a third of the galleon below the waterline.

Another pirate entertains guests around the construction site.

A close up of the galleon shows how much detail has gone into the theming making it look so impressive.

This mast of a ship will form part of the sunken ship theming as most of it will be below the water level. Note the target and the skeleton on the crows nest.

A wider look at the sunken ship theming showing the prow of the ship that will poke out of the water.

The skull and crossbones fly on each corner of the courtyard buildings.
