I’m not surprised doing something that improves the guest experience these days (and costs money) would be very out of character for the park.

Train 1 - station Train 2 - maintenance bay Train 3 - on ground outside maintenance bay Remove train 2 via maintenance bay (would require extra set of whatever it goes onto to be removed). Then place train 3 back in its place. So briefly there is a single train on tracks. Wouldn't require an extra block.

Hyperia is just undoing the connections between the cars. A rebuild in the context being discussed here is tearing the whole train down to its individual parts, inspecting them all, replacing some, and then reassembling the whole thing.

I do see his point though. It's possible to be fast and safe, but some of our parks seem to think fast =/= safe. Read something on Reddit yesterday from the yanks complaining about their parks having slow OPs after implementing, but from the reports of this post Dreamworld seem to be coping well with it.

Probably a standard cost saving move….

Send the park an email, they're currently seeking guest feedback and I'm sure they'd welcome this.

Two projections already not working in the wizard room

Rode jungle rush several times today. World class operations each time I rode. Lapbars checked and trains dispatched within seconds of sitting down. There was not one ride where we waited more than a minute between last rider sitting and train dispatching. Staff were engaged, friendly, and most of all efficient! Phenomenal effort! 2 trains running all day, even when queue was walk on. Unrelated but the dreamworld flyer had its more classic gold/yellow lighting on instead of the fairground multicolour lights. Looked a thousand times better, more classic, and in place with Main Street! Hope they keep this! Music a little all over the place today, strange music playing in wildlife. Maybe because of the street festival? Anyways very strange and didn’t work. Also still far too much Katy Perry and other random radio pop music scattered around the park, I really hope they can sort out some better background music for some of their zones. 0 work commenced on the train tracks. We questioned two ride ops and they both responded and said they weren’t sure it was even happening. That’s a little concerning. I’m sure it will return but strange nothings been done and the staff are in the dark.

You don’t need to run three at once in order to own three. Having three trains means that you will have access to two trains for normal day to day operation look at SFFT they purchased a third train for IR to ensure year round two train operation.

@Dean BarnettYou're adding a train, you're adding an extra maintenance bay. Where are you adding the extra block to safely run 3 trains?

Additional trains aren't necessary and single train operations outside of peak are also fine. The problem is the operations/maintenance. When I last visited in March, the fastest dispatch we experienced was 5 minutes and 28 seconds. The slowest was 12 minutes. When we were on the ride, the restraints got stuck in the closed position on our ride and we had to wait for maintenance to come and release us - which was about a 5-6 minute wait. We queued for about 1 hour and only 1 cycle had backward riders. When I've been in busy times with 2 train ops, the rotating bins don't seem to be functional, and they're not great for bags or the sipper cups. So they could probably clear the platform quicker by improving the loose item storage system, and having better screen/recorded announcements so staff don't have to shout. Small changes that could reduce wait times by 1-2 mins per cycle.

They already need to start rethinking
