There would be several ways of getting that info. Knowing someone who works at the parks He could be a WVTP employee of have been a WVTP Employee etc. There are lots of places he could have got that info.

If I can round up some money I will head down. I will let you know if you'd like Gazza.

Well, if they DID replace the Stingray with something else I wouldn't object. The ride is starting to show it's age. And that was proven with the unexpected downtime earlier in the year. We could only presume that something was wrong with it that required URGENT attention. It was the same story with Eureka but not as complex as Eureka is seeming to be. I mean it was there from 1983 as the Roulette Wheel, which makes it 24 years old now. So it's certainly lasted it's lifetime. And if it's costing too much to maintain, maybe it is time it gets replaced.

Ah cheers for that. It should be interesting to see the finished product.

Mainly the time at the top though... Or they could just hire a 3rd person to be grouping while 2 run the ride... Or maybe synchronize them that they dispatch at the same time. Only using the western control panel that can control them both. And then the 2nd gondola operator could be grouping riders up so they can just get on and go.

I still think it is STUPID how long it takes for the car to go from when it slows down to releasing. Not to mention when it goes slow at the end before engaging the gondola. If they went faster during that time, Capacity would greatly improve I reckon. Shaving off around 30 - 40 secs of the cycle time.

Dreamworld Opens at 1:30pm, and closes at 5:30pm on Friday.

I think my fondest memory of that was when they had the Stand up and Sit Down gondolas. I think i was loaded with a girl who wore a pink tutu... way back in 1994

The Parachute tower ride that used to be at Wonderland Sydney. If I remember correctly it was near the GoldRush entry.

I have actually noticed them several times, just never been bothered about it really. And how long did it take for the GD to come back down? I've seen it having to come down slowly from about halfway up several times and it took about 5 mins from there... You would think they would make it descend a bit faster lol.

What I do at night is between me and the teddy!

See Okay... I didn't source that one out... but we can pretend!

Hmmm... thats one of the few things I actually would have NO idea about. I shall try and source it out asap... But I would presume it would be for emergency contact.

Hmmm... If all else fails I may try Wiki. But I don't really see much point in DW going to lengths to remove it if construction starts tomorrow. There wont be any point hiding what the ride is going to look like etc.

Well... It's about Fu**ing time some work has been done on it! After how many years now? It hasn't even opened yet and hooligans have managed to clamber up it also!

Probably a Holiday Seasonal, I've found all sorts of things on buses before, from WVTP name badges, wallets, iPods you name it. But it was a very interesting find. But as i've said in my previous post if DW / WWW requests the image be removed I have no issues with it.

I was down at Dreamworld today. There isn\'t currently any construction going on, but on the way home I found a Dreamworld Staff Newsletter on the floor of the bus. It had a pic of concept art for SpongeBob FlyPants. I will post it here, but if you have to remove it Richo, feel free to.

Paul, You must have picked up my theme park curse! Breaking all the rides like that... You've stolen what I do best... Daniel "Nothing beats Breaking Bermuda 6 times in one day" Harmer

I did notice that banner last time I was there. This must be part of there Park Wide Cleanup that is happening in the next twelve months.

Uh... no If Dreamworld DID market this as there new thrill ride, I have lost ALL faith in marketing.

Just be lucky it hasn't blown the main lift motor on lethal! It did that just before SE opened if I recall. Also the claw has seemed to have floor issues of late. But this Superman issue, it seems a bit of a worry... Maybe all the Intamin rides are failing on us! Superman, Claw, Motocoaster and Surfrider... it's a winning combo

Well as far as location goes, there is that huge concrete area where the "Pot A Chook" and "Fried Frogs" used to be. These have since been re-located to Eureka's site. And that concrete area is quite a large slab of land, and also right in front of the Nick Stuff store. So my guess is that will be the location for SpongeBob FlyPants. I should be heading down there in the next week or so, I will try and get some construction snaps.

And "Giddy Galleon" Come on, thats just stupid. But they at least got a new paintjob for this ride

I will be heading down to Dreamworld when i'm not working. (Who knows when that will be. But thats the wonders of being a Boostie) And no probs on the heads up. But I will keep everyone up to date on progress.

Dreamworld's newest ride is set to start construction on the 21st of April. Located outside of the "Nick Stuff" shop. The expected opening date is unconfirmed but likely to be some time during June. "SpongeBob FlyPants is perfect for the whole family and has the capacity for 24 riders per ride. With 2 guests per carriage taking to the sky at super fun speed for everyone. The ride will plunge guests into an imaginary deep sea world where they will soar and spin through the fantasy 'Jellyfish Fields' known to be his favorite fishing spot. Lying flat on there stomachs, guests will weightlessly weave around a larger-than-life SpongeBob sculpture as he takes flight aboard a wild jellyfish." The ride Model is a "Zamperla Kite Flyer"
