You would be dreaming. Last year the ride had the mini repaint.

SW helicopters has reopened.

The old, what is he saying post. Is there any point when you're only changing one ride's lights, out of many rides?

I can do better drifting with a shopping trolly.

How do you scale down Gringotts that cost 213m (according to you) to 30m?

I'll take that as you don't know.

How much do you think Gringotts cost to build?

Walter is a German name. Walter's catchline "du wirst nass" Must be a multicultural wombat.😂

Construction to start after the school holidays. The construction compound is to be located at the old log ride site, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the site offices, power & internet are currently being installed and connected in readiness for construction within the log ride area now.

You don't have to worry yourself with it. It wasn't, I'm going to jump off a bridge kind of disappointment.

Not like MW to wait to the very last minute to announce a ride won't be opening when scheduled for. /s

Hey TPSN, before posting, you might want to know what you're posting.🤷‍♀️ This isn't DW's design for the Wave Swinger. It's my overlay on how I would improve DW's design. The globe is from the commercial when the globe was a balloon, which I have always thought was a better globe. I have also removed what I didn't like in the design.

It's better than the 50 shades of blue reno, over at Ocean Parade. I have a few apprehensions that won't be answered until it's built but at least the design is finally showing DW is at least thinking about the area they are putting the ride into.

Stupid things people say. "Did this need its own thread?"

Well, that is disappointing.

The Globe is just getting moved closer to the stage. The small building is a pump room. The ops is at the end of the long building and the rest of the building is electrical and hyd unit.

I just released that when I looked for photos but it doesn't change the fact, when you enter the park you will have the floating beam that doesn't match what they just built. I just went through Instagram and most photos are close up anyway, so you won't get the signage in the photo. DW's dirty floating beam.

It is going to be interesting how it plays out. I think the area will end up feeling like a village. The only thing, I can really pick on at the moment is this floating ring beam above the stage. 1. We know objects do not float. extra supports will be required. 2. It looks out of place. I suspect this is to hang lights from during the night markets to light up the stage, but DW needs to reconsider getting rid of it and find a better way to light up the stage because this element will look shit. You can't be serious DW. You create a place for people to take photos and then you put this magical floating beam in the way.

Regarding the switchbacks, are you referring the new access ramps to the existing stage @Slick?

@Slickyou will be happy to know as well as many others (including me), the finishes are to tie into original building architecture and not SV.

Dreamworld's Wave Swinger design. I've added blue to the drawings to show water location. Floor mesh will be located over the water under the ride. Mesh shown in yellow. (All pictures taken off public web site)

The list of the new proposed rides Aussie World have a current MCU on. 3. Drop Tower. 4. Air Race. 5. Windstarz. 6. Starfly. 7. Aerobat. Aussie World lodged a minor change to the MCU at the start of the month which was to swap the location of Starfly with Aerobat. Besides the swapping of rides nothing suggest AW has changed on what future rides they are installing in the park. Something I picked up on. (but could be a coincidence) The order of the rides shown on the MCU is how Aussie World have installed them to date. 1 & 2 where 1. Typhoon 360, 2. Crazy mouse. Location of future rides -

Disclaimer, I'm not sitting here doing the maths so please don't string me up if I'm out by a ton or two. Also don't string me up if it's tone and not ton. Or is it tones or tonne?

Clearly putting force on tower. No backpedalling here. 6t is less than a loaded car. A loaded car at station 7.5t Tower transition 33.t Clearly 6t < 7.5t Clearly 6t < 33t As I said, many times now, I acknowledge less forces are in play on the tower.

I don't know why but I think I need to remind you, I know once the car is traveling down the tower it is placing the least amount of force onto the track @Gazza. The only difference we have is the transitions and directionally change of the car and what load that places onto the track. To answer your question, you can’t compare a drop ride to a coaster because the wheel assembly tolerances are different because a drop tower doesn’t have directional changes where wheel binding can be an issue. Different wheel assemblies = different load placement.
