Hundreds of hectares were burned from Worsley Spur to Kennedys Bush, and the fire spread into parts of the adventure park.
In a statement, the park said control of the property was returned to it on Tuesday, which would allow further assessment work to take place.
It said next week the haul rope of the chairlift would be X-rayed to check its structural integrity.
That would be the key factor determining the park's reopening date.

The fire caused the cancellation of a major mountain biking event.
Crankworx Summer Series was due to be held at the park from March 1-3.
However, the fire, which burnt through 650 hectares including some of the adventure park, put paid to the event, organisers announced.
