  1. Today
  2. Dreamworld is a major partner for the current This is Gold Coast 2025 https://experiencegoldcoast.com/business-events/tigc25 They had a drone show in the carpark so it's probably just a temporary setup for the event https://www.instagram.com/skylighterfireworks/reel/DM7i9dzx_zM/?hl=en
  3. I don't believe it's permanent because this isn't the standard of work we have been witnessing at DW.
  4. right, so another enthusiast with a differing opinion. Unless the park is saying it's permanent - i'm happy with my own opinion.
  5. Yesterday
  6. Ask jaggs journey . On his video he said it.
  7. Source? Given, as has been pointed out, the lighting truss and moving heads along the river - it does seem like they are set for a specific event. They have their gatsby fundraiser coming up - though it does seem a bit far away - but maybe more light was needed for the restaurant night trade (can't imagine the moving heads would be for that though). Nothing about anything i've seen so far says permanent. If it is a fix for a lighting problem, i'm assuming it's still temporary until the permanent solution is fabricated - Though I will say i've been in Rivertown at night without these and I didn't feel like the lighting was lacking.
  8. Unfortunately not temporary . Looks like a cheap attempted fix to a lighting problem
  9. Can't tell if ur joking or not but if u aren't well then im being 100% serious there are actual logos i made for scooby coasters 2025 refurb In fact here's the concept of the sign i made
  10. There was a path back of house, and a door with a lock. Once inside the mountain there was a small fire corridor that took you into the booth.
  11. Ah man, I made some logos for the revamped ride for village to use. This new logo looks cool tho! Here I'll send a link of the logos I made for it https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-8TknJEsQciCR0EvpyhlXShhvq1EMCSr
  12. Last week
  13. MW have the opportunity to have the number 1 family coaster on the coast again. How this ride turns out, will tell us the real state of MW.
  14. Love the new logo and so glad they got rid of the next generation name. Fingers crossed the original entry sign returns (or something just as good). And their choice of wording saying ‘the original spooks’ gives me hope. Not going to hype this up to much for myself because Village are known to hype things up and then disappoint.
  15. Socials and website have been updated to reveal a new logo and teased its “coming soon”. Hopefully that means a September-October opening. https://movieworld.com.au/attractions/scooby-doo-spooky-coaster This is the other option, they have pushed out advertising now simply because they see the progress/success of Dreamworld’s King Claw campaign.
  16. Getting a written warning for that is insane lol. So how did you guys get into the booths then I'm assuming it would be part of the path near the backwards drop right?
  17. There was always a window, and you couldn't see into the booth from the ride when it was in normal operation unless you really looked for them. I got a written warning for that incident though from an ex park manager who was always very grumpy. Some people may know exactly who I'm talking about, shares a name with an ex wiggle lol. The other operators thought it was hilarious, and the riders did too.
  18. Anyway back to the thread title. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CZAN7zq9a/
  19. I know rides entering QLD have to comply with: AS 3533 EN 13814-1 ISO 17842-1 ATSM F2291 "includes assessing the loads on critical components" where is this completed in Australia, and who is doing it? I know who verifies all of Mack Rides calculations and the company isn't based in Australia.
  20. I did say "these days" being present tense. Important to note, particularly in QLD significant changes have occurred since 2015 with regards to the legislation and the introduction of the code of practice. There is a greater responsibility on all parties involved in the process, the engineer, the operator and the regulator. Love your optimism though...
  21. Don't stress people, according to @Levram__the same Australian registered and qualified engineers checked GL's critical components. //s😂😉 Do I think the arm will fail on King Claw. NO Is there a chance one day a critical component will fail on a ride in Australia. YES
  22. Regardless of who the OEM is for a device, Intamin or a cheap Chinese device, these days the risk of such a serious design flaw in a device entering or being installed in Australia is mitigated by a very stringent design registration process. Which requires one of very few, Australian registered and qualified engineers to verify the design of a amusement device in order for the regulator to issue design registration, among many other things. That includes assessing the loads on critical components etc. Most states follow the same guidelines with some minor variation here or there. For example I believe Victoria allows devices pre 1995 to operate without design registration, but that's being proposed to change.
  23. Workplace health and safety one year during their annual audit campaign went on a bit of a rampage around appropriate work areas illumination to manage the risk of fatigue.
  24. The original design of the room was lit so that the operator wouldn't be visible. The operator can turn on the light in the room (they did this I think when Theme Park Worldwide visited so they could wave) but maybe they have video monitors in there, and they're brighter now?
  25. Maybe I'm wrong but did that the lift room the staff member sits in have a window back in the day as well cause u can see the staff member so clearly now but I never Remember seeing it back in the day. Were the other staff laughing when you accidently hit the estop because of a Huntsman cause that's a valid reason lmao.
