  1. I arrived at 9:30 at dreamworld with the sky looking a bit overcast. As soon as I got in to the park I headed for Wipeout. My first reaction was Ooops. It seemed the ride had broken down during a test run at a strange and twisted location. 9:35 lined up for Cyclone. Before 10am i had 5 rides. Just sat on the train for the whole time due to no lines. 10:00- Lined up for thunder river rapids 7 min waits each time. Came off drenched everytime. New theming looks nice. Went on 3 times. Giant Drop 20 min line. Still needs a themeing upgrade badly. Went to Central Cafe for a early lunch. 11:40 Joined Cyclone queue (wipeout still broken) The Cyclone was a bit rough. Vibrating Floor broken and LCD panels showing nothing but the Sony DVD logo. SHOCK... CYCLONE HAD A GOOD CAPACITY DESPITE WIPEOUT BEING BROKEN! 12:20 joined reptar queue line and waited 10 mins. When finally got on halfway up the lift it stalled with me on it. Waited 30 mins untill maintenance re-set the ride. Got free large Drink and Chips. After this I went on the Mine Ride (35 min queue) and Claw (15 min line) Claw is nice and smooth. Mine ride has a bad LPG smell as you go up the lift hill and makes me feel dizzy because of this. Then I went to wipeout to see if it was working only to be told it won't be working today. Lined Up for Cyclone and got On by 2:20 After this I went on Reptar again before riding TRR twice. Then went on Cyclone and TOT and went home at 5:05. Also did a few sideshow games throughout the day. Cyclone: approx 25 min wait themeing needs upgrading 6/10 Mine Ride: approx 35 min wait. Get rid of LPG smell 7/10 Giant Drop: approx 30 min wait: needs theming changes 6/10 Claw: approx: 20 min wait Smooth Exhilarating ride 9/10 Tower Of Terror: approx 1 hr wait: laking theming rather boring as its over so quick. 4/10 Reptar: approx 15 min wait. Alot smoother and the brakes aren't as harsh any more. Overall fun ride. Had 4 ops making loading time quicker 8/10 Thunder River: approx: 5 min wait. New theming is great along with the single riders line. 8/10 Overall Rating: 6/10 (averaged the ride ratings)

  2. Not actual posters but behind the fountain of fame they have a big wall with the superman "bird,plane ect. When i get photos i won't post the photos but will say and anyone who wants them feel free to e-mail me. No charge for anyone! Richard when i have them will send them to you.

  3. When i am on it my head hits the restraints realy hard expecialy on the turn over the station platoform i might just have a big head though. and i agree with you Joz it feels so much slower than roadrunner and it takes so long to get going and when it does get going you are just pulling into the brake run (at least Vekoma got their braking formula right as it just glides through nice and gently)

  4. i'd laugh if dreamworld got in contact with Meshio and got a new thunderbolt because the ride lasted a while and if it was like the other it will last another 20 years but i think we are in for another Intamin or Vekoma ride once again Dreamworld please get a B+M so Aussie parks can see what they need a quality B+M Ride and it will set the parks straight!

  5. They said they were gonna be open in the last 2 sets of holliday and they wern't. Also if you look behind the Mad Mouse you will see a full set of enterprise cars there either Huss or Shwachzkoph (hope i spelt it right) and in the middle of the paddock there is a enterprise arm have not had a extremly close look because it wasn't there in the april holidays. But the cars are next weekend i might go get some pictures. now lets get back on topic shall we. :)
