    The castle should be repainted to the original paint scheme.

    like I said - 'I hope'... nothing would surprise me these days.
  14. ShakeShack
    I'd say that's an undercoat?
  15. DaptoFunlandGuy
    I hope they aren't going from the really nicely textured stone-look paint job to some flat grey basic look.

    And WnW have closed the wave pool after the winter school holidays for as long as I can remember
  20. DaptoFunlandGuy
    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.

    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.

    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
  25. Levithian
    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.

    Can we please bring back the fountain?
  27. Aw hype
    How do you justify shutting down the pool at a waterpark?
  28. TV15
    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)
  29. themagician
    The gates were blocked off for most of Winterfest, but I believe they just went to the effort of moving equipment and fencing during this time so the night markets could still operate during the school holidays.

    @franky it’s been open for almost 4 years and you’re right in saying it pretty much hasn’t had a long maintenance period (I think the longest was a month around the time of the Giant Drop refurb). To my understanding the park were able to develop a maintenance plan with Mack Rides that ensure the ride does receive its proper maintenance, without compromising the guest experience. Checks happen out side of park hours, and they ensure they have a sufficient amount of stock for all the parts they may require so it doesn’t delay reopening. The biggest maintenance job is generally on the trains, but they schedule those to have maintenance completed during school terms, so they can continue to operate it with one train. I’ve witnessed first hand how some of these checks occur and it’s certainly an impressive, thorough and effective process.

    The first house took 7 weeks to build.

    Honest question here. How have Dreamworld been maintaining Steel Taipan if this is not the case in some regards? It's been open for a couple of years now and I don't think I've ever seen it down for months long maintenance. Are they doing more of it during the morning/arvo being they open and shut later?
