  2. by the looks of it i guessed correctly here. (credit: mittythemeparks instagram) Orange Track has shown up at Gumbuya World, which appears to be vekoma track. i wonder if this is going to be one of their family models (inverted, family boomerang, average family coaster model) or if we could be seeing something a bit more, thrilling. there is a mystery next gen Tilt Coaster instillation happening outside of the US, would be cool to see that here.

  6. It depends on the works they're doing. If a crane is involved to lift out TOT track, or something else (like the cable winches we've seen recently) they might be too close to Taipan's envelope. Heavy vehicle accesses are all on the Taipan side, not the Motocoaster side.

  7. If it is indeed this model, what a perfect choice for Gumbuya World. I've always thought the SFC 450 to be a perfect addition to any of Australia's regional parks. Excellent choice for a park of this size. Now they have a kiddie coaster, a family-thrill, and an extreme coaster. That's a really well-rounded coaster line-up, and will cement Gumbuya as Victoria's #1 themepark. Very excited to see how this turns out. This is the same model that is rumoured to replace Arkham at Movieworld (along with the duelling family boomerang). I would be pretty annoyed if I was Village, to see a small regional park build it prior to me.

  8. This bridge dates back to the days of BA:TRide when only one attraction lay down this pathway. Now with FOUR attraction queue entrances behind this bridge, it's a bit disappointing they've just put up a new copy of the same old banner. When Rivals was brand new, sure - but this used to have BA:TR and Batwing sharing the banner, and I feel like this could also mislead first time guests that that path was only for Rivals and not for the other attractions. I would have loved if they'd taken this opportunity to identify each attraction - maybe even a 'highway road sign type design... Just a suggestion... It's very clear that they pay attention to many online sources of fan feedback including facebook and youtube too, but I feel like the trickle-down methods on how this translates to outcomes are a bit different. I get the impression (and this is just my perception of how it happens) that someone senior in Dreamworld might see something, pick up the phone and call 'the guy' whose job it is to resolve the issue and say 'let's try and fix this up today'. On the flip side, I think at Village, this sort of feedback or issue gets highlighted by the guest relations\social media team, etc, which gets emailed to a department head as an item (probably one of many) and added to a hitlist, and then its up to the department heads to pick what they want to prioritise (which may prioritise show, or it may prioritise efficiency). There are pros and cons to both methods so please don't misunderstand my perception as a criticism - the 'Village' method (as I see it) ensures things are documented, addressed, and prioritised, without jeopardising the completion of an existing job by diverting work to another. On the other hand (the more recent) Dreamworld method (as I see it) gives that 'quick win' satisfaction of knocking small irritants on the head quickly before they're buried by other priorities.

  9. Yeah its exciting news but I do not think we should raise expectations. The most likely outcome here is that it is a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster , most likely this model. Still exciting and it makes the most logical sense at this time. The current Mine Coaster fits the bill perfectly for a kiddie/family coaster This new coaster would be a great family attraction with mild thrills. The former Buzzsaw coaster is their headline act for their thrill market. Not bad for a small regional park in Victoria!! The other parks will definitely need to sit up and take notice and perhaps plan for a response. Good times and shows the growth and reach of the Australian amusement park industry.

  10. The store has been painted Also, I’d like to commend the park for seeing to some of the things raised in this discussion. The park was looking much better today. As an example the Rivals banner has been replaced But also, gardens were looking much tidier. The damaged statues in Doomsday were repaired, it appears they started to replace the billboards in the area too. The Killer Croc water is turned off so it doesn’t flood the area. The damaged license plate was also removed. Some shade sails throughout the park also appeared to be new as well. There is still plenty to do throughout the park, but seeing these changes today is very promising. Well done to the parks team.
