The low wait times, while are partly due to DW never really being as busy as MW, but also because of how good their operations on the ride are. The longest wait I’ve had is 30 minutes, which pretty much went down to the start of the queue, but because of two trains consistently running and the large amount of people they have in the station ready to board, it creates much shorter wait times.

Okay, after probably 7 or 8 rides on Steel Taipan on the trip (will probably do a trip report at some point), I'm definitely a fan. Second favourite coaster in the GC, just behind DC Rivals - and that's only really because they're different types of coaster. DC Rivals is all about speed and airtime whereas Steel Taipan is about the elements. We did also try the tailwhip which was damn good fun, a lot better than DC Rivals backwards. The barrel roll at the end, while spinning, and hanging on the first incline the coaster goes over, are pretty damn good. Queues are very low - through the trip we never waited more than 15 minutes, compared to DC Rivals posting 70+ minutes.

Yep, 4 hours. The sign says 3.5 hours, but the app says 4 hours. I asked the attendant which was more accurate and she said the app and that they couldn’t find a 240 minute wait label.

DW is pretty busy today too, carpark is about 80% full. ST has both trains running with fast operations and has a 30 minute wait.

New helipad looks good New briefing room does not

Just rode ST today, on a trip to the Gold Coast with my fam. I have to say, it was pleasantly surprising. My fav elements were the second/backwards launch and the final corkscrew, it really “whips”! Rivals is better, but that’s honestly to be expected, I would place it behind SE but in front of GL if I’m relating it to the other current Gold Coast coasters, so the third best imo. I might post a trip report soon, going to Movie World tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻
