  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. You'd have to build/make something to fit to the track and mount to the chassis. Don't forget it didn't valley in a flat piece of track, it ended up at the bottom of a curve which makes things even more difficult to remove as the train moves. Also have to remember they were trying to come up with solutions that resulted in the least amount of down time possible. It was cheaper, and ultimately decided to be less disruption to pull the train over rather than dismantle it given the reason for it stalling in the first place had absolutely nothing to do with the train and could be put back into service more or less immediately after passing usual inspections.
  4. Yesterday
  5. At least they put a bit of effort in and painted it go away green
  6. No comments on the colorbond fencing around dreamworld . It’s not new so not commented on yet but ugly as. the movie world debacle at Wild West reminded me
  7. Looks as though DW has started (re)construction! Credit: https://www.facebook.com/GCthemeparkgirl
  8. ^^ and the test seat. (no test seat is seen in the photo but the test seat has arrived)
  9. Not sure if it’s been like this for a while, but this photo from TPSN show it’s looking the textured look
  10. The castle should be repainted to the original paint scheme.
  11. Last week
  12. like I said - 'I hope'... nothing would surprise me these days.
  13. I hope they aren't going from the really nicely textured stone-look paint job to some flat grey basic look.
  14. I know you know. I just posted that for the people that dont/didnt understand.
  15. Some repainting is happening left of the castle @Theme Park Girl
  16. And WnW have closed the wave pool after the winter school holidays for as long as I can remember
  17. It's winter every pool needs to be closed at some point for maintenance this is what happens when you open a waterpark all year round and don't have a seasonal winter closure.
  18. Who said anything about sitting it on the track? As I said - you might need more machinery - eg: a second crane to support the still-mounted car while the first one is lifted away - but it can be done. I've no doubt if the winch-out method they used hadn't worked, for whatever reason, they'd have started removing cars in just this way.
  19. Drove past the Beattie Rd boundary (graveyard, monster truck location) and they had installed a new fence along that perimeter and could see heavy machinery operating over the top of the fence so likely clearing and levelling the land
  20. Yeah, no doubt they do. At the time they didn't though is what I was meaning and nobody was quite sure how to remove it. Thats the primary reason it took so long. There was literally no procedure in place and nobody is going to take any responsibility for damaging something unknown. You can't just unbolt one car from the other and sit it on the track. Even if you don't care about the train, what about the track itself? It's not bullshit at all, it's literally what happened. Now. I know exactly how it works, why do you think I posted? I also know that the entrance way for rivals originally wasn't wide enough to take the assembled trains out the front of the maintenance bay and everything had to be loaded/assembled from the rear.
  21. How do you justify shutting down the pool at a waterpark?
  22. Movie World does, they have 7. One in the same spot as Steel Taipans and another 6 (one for each car) Excuse the awful photo (had to mess with the colours so you can see inside)... but it shows how this works, the 2nd wheels run on the metal railings and are pushed by the drive tyers and these are the wheels that run along the rails, the white wheels (hyperia's trains)
