  2. I don’t think you can be ejected for clearing the nets. There’s someone in every group that gives it a go. As for cameras, each booth may have one but that would purely be for review purposes in the case of an issue, no one is going to be sitting there watching the cameras for people trying to do Happy Gilmore swings

  3. Welcome to the forums @Tim Pearson. Although you may have only seen a rubber-belted conveyor, there are several different types out there - continuous rollers, for example. The style of conveyor used on Thunder River is fairly standard for this type of ride, and has been in use for decades. As has been discussed ad nauseum, it is not the type of conveyor that is in issue here, but rather the modifications made to it that are suggested to have been the cause. Take these images - from a river rapids ride at Disney's California Adventure: In comparison, you can see the slats at dreamworld are not as closely spaced: There are of course examples of river rapids rides that do use a rubberised belt: As for a rollbar, most river rapids don't feature this - however, from what I understand of this accident, a rollbar likely wouldn't have prevented what occurred. the raft did not flip completely over. There's quite a discussion on Parkz about the incident, with loads of speculation - it's worth a read if you're interested, as much of what you've pointed out has been discussed at length with good examples and arguments both for and against.

  4. The hotdog stand is a highlight of my trips. Whenever I go to Dreamworld I make it my first attraction to stop by. I'm surprised it isn't part of the BIG9 as everytime I see it my heart races and my excitement builds. The hot dogs from there are okay.

  5. So I was looking on Adventure World's Website and they have posted some information regarding their Easter Event that takes place during the day. I think its good to see the park adding all these events to it line up to try and post attendance throughout non peek season.
