You're right - these are galv... nek minnit Tiger Water Coaster Confirmed! Pool for Tiger Water Coaster confirmed!

That's assault!

Guys check out the colour of the footing bolts - i'm confident that we'll see track on site next week for the new 'Tiger Coaster'. Alternative headline: "Dreamworld Hyper confirmed"

'on the circuit' ? as in mobile? I thought it was relocated to Sunway? http://www.wonderlandhistory.net/content/dragons_flight_current_location

They have a logo store too? Awesome! I need a new one... do you know if it's the startup franchise Logo Mockup? Or is it some other chain Logo Store?

if you're going to a show to 'kill time' then the park isn't doing a very good job.

Thanks for posting Loki. They did publish it last thursday ( 1:07pm February 2, 2017 ) and I saw it on the Wonderland History group over the weekend, but didn't have an opportunity to read it. The author seems to have some genuine interest in the topic - its a shame they didn't dig further as there are a few other attractions they could have discussed as well.

If you're going to be technical, he isn't - because it's 'Torres' Strait.

lol. In the unread posts preview, your post displayed as "Front Back Note to self" - and i'm going... WTF is he on?

Many of the mazes we've seen in the past have featured specific scenes and characters from the film or the game - some of them very faithfully recreated. so the answer to your question is: Yes.

i want a dark ride? what's wrong with that?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the forums @wileecoyote - you're going to fit in just fine. Thanks for the pictures. What @YLFATEEKS meant was his theory about the footing bolts being coloured to match the support columns was 'sunk' or discredited by the pictures you posted. You solved a mystery, and very quickly at that, AND paid attention to the page count for the current saga of 'how many posts can we make about getting to 100 pages before we get to 100 pages' to boot.

Even if it were just an acrylic side-wall like the tigers Brad I think would work - Wonderland's wildlife park offered something similar and it was really awesome to get up close with Maniac like that.

/snip Most rides we've seen them do lately have been just another BS.

Yeah - Storm looks like standard gal, not painted grey. I'm still not sold on this Hyper. Can we try a Mack Coaster footing picture OUTSIDE of Australia?

I'm not sure i'm sold on the nut colour. Are there any Mack rides out there that are blue? can you check if they have blue nuts? Especially during erection? Ok but seriously - i've never realised just how hard it is to find pictures of the footings (pre-installation) on a Mack Coaster. Anyone wanna link me up (read: spoon feed) ? As for the lift hill, yep, looks good. that angle is great. can anyone indicate to me where on the site plan that footing is? maybe we can start sketching?

i don't have any sort of cogent idea for the area, but to take on a couple of points mentioned above: I don't think sticking with a 'gold rush' theme is in anyone's best interests - the whole area has taken on a bit of a stigma since TRRR, and i feel like they need to take on a different direction. I don't think a 'mummy' themed ride is really fitting (especially since, you know, all the movies in that genre typically involve someone being brought back from the dead) DW have stated it is their intention to build a memorial, but will absolutely defer to the families wishes on that point, and if they do not wish to have the memorial in the park, or at all, it won't happen. I'm fairly certain we'll see some support from them to put it in though, but as for where - hard to say. it would be a little disappointing if someone had to pay admission to pay their respects.

Who cares if it was copy and pasted - what better way to get information than have it directly repeated from the official site? Why should it be reworded? How is life in that glass house of yours? You've collectively tarred every person working for VRTP because of what is likely a typo, or an auto correct. You spelled Thoroughly wrong You spelled certainly wrong And this is ironic: So i'm just curious as to how VRTP have been tools to you? I heard you were banned from the parks for a time, and whilst I can understand you being unhappy about it, as I understand, you were being tools to them, which brought on the ban, so hardly a good enough reason for you to call them out on their spelling, given your statement above...

well... what are you waiting for?

Yeah you're more likely to enjoy a view of the carpark, outback spectacular and the highway than any view of the park...

it's just an exercise in accounting though isn't it? I mean Village own both properties (hell the land is one lot) - if the studios aren't booked by anyone for that period, surely they could utilise them? On the flip side - it's great to see that the park is prevented from using them by major motion picture shooting - it used to be a guarantee that those two studios would be a fright night's given - and I doubt they would have locked them out if a production wanted to use them, as i'm sure production houses would have to pay far more, since they would need to use more facilities - but its good to see more filming being completed here locally - our film industry is important.

I have a few requests, (and these are made in my capacity as a member of this forum and nothing more): Please stop trying to control the conversation on these boards by withholding information. Please stop adding polls to every post you create - that's what the reply function is for. Meaningful discussion is better when you aren't asking people to answer several usual questions with a radio button Please stop reminding everyone that you 'predicted' something that happens by trawling back through your old posts and then linking that post to the current thread just so you can point out you had the right answer. When you post so many different theories, one of them is bound to stick eventually. You're now the butt of a joke (the fridge), not to mention i'm very annoyed you were wrong about the timeline as i've now wasted several sheets of paper, not to mention COLOUR ink and a laminating sheet on a timeline that isn't true. Who's going to buy me an ink refill now? You are this forum's equivalent of a "FIRST!!!!" post. Please continue to post things that are interesting, and meaningful to our discussion - and I GENUINELY mean that sincerely. The Wonderland link you posted the other day contained video that the folks over at Wonderland History have not seen - and given their absolute dedication to all things Wonderland, it was a complete surprise that they didn't know about it - You do a great job trawling the internet and finding things - like the site above - but then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like..."i'll reveal the source later". Honestly, I know that all that is a lot to ask, so really, i'll be happy if you can do at least 2 of them for me. Thanks!

In a nutshell. thanks for the summary. I really wish I could live in your world sometimes. So fanciful and unrealistic. Also, Please stop quoting entire posts when they're right above the one you're making. its unnecessary and i've worn out two scroll mouses having to deal with that.

Why do people think that they have to wait until the track is finished before they start on the queue? does the queue go over the track? or under it? It's highly unlikely that the two will impact on each other. We usually see the station built first. Then, whilst the track boys are halfway to Wet N Wild, they can bring in every tradesman under the sun to do queue. No lost time! Guys, it's the 7th of February. We've seen activity in the past 48 hours where they have been prepping the footings and cleaning them up. School Holidays start on 16 September. We have more than 7 months. Flash at lewa had track arrive in December, and January, and the ride was topped off in early-mid August. Test runs were October before a January 1 Opening. Now - although it took a year for them to go from track to open, a couple of things to bear in mind: Movie World isn't their first Hyper. they will have learned many lessons before now Lewa was a brand new park, which only opened 6 months prior to Flash. They had EIGHT coasters under construction at around the same time Although the dates given above are what i've been able to find, we have no way of knowing whether the site had been prepped \ footings put in before track arrived on site - they were building an entire park They were building an entire park - so not only did they have to construct a coaster, they had to construct all the other elements of the park at the same time. Basically what i'm saying is that there was a lot going on there. In our case - we have one site, one project, all the tenders have been out for months. Everyone is ready to lunge forward at this stuff and I reckon 7 months is probably a reasonable time to hit the mark... although we have seen them shoot past their opening dates before. September is still an easy possibility, and worst case, the usual Boxing Day opening is still well within reach.
