So the attraction is opening the date the movie should be opening in cinemas.

To think there was once a point in time where it was a joke to suggest running down to bunnings to buy things.

Throw some park logos over it and on the ride and that should be good enough 😂

Ironically there is a "new" post mix refill machine that ticks those boxes, Coca-cola Freestyle.

Someone must have forgot to mention this to Intamin when building Tower.

It is hard to say if there was a inspection done after the 2001 incident. The park reported the incident via phone to WHSQ yet no paperwork can be found about it on the WHSQ end only the report that Dreamworld sent. The park was told the phone call was sufficient for reporting it. When preparing documents for the inquiry paperwork could only be found as far back as December 2001 and the first case of rafts getting caught and flipping happened in January 2001 so there is no paperwork relating to the 2001 incident able to be located. The ride since 2004 had been inspected by five different inspectors. I was at the inquest Monday afternoon for those wondering where I got this information from.

$99 is somewhat more reasonable. Will say anyone who's a local and has a pass shouldn't really be complaining about the cost of the line skipping passes as they aren't the target audience.

Doesn't matter if it is slides or a lazy river one park is getting something new the other is getting forgotten.

Based on the video Dreamworld posted with a coaster that looks a lot like Superman it isn't just the general public who are easily confused by what is where. For anyone who doesn't follow the parks closely the similar names will easily be confused. Either way they will end up in a park full of animals, kids rides and closed/missing thrill rides.

Guessing it isn't kissing the brakes like its super brother 😂

When seeing that logo this came to mind

Can confirm the same for Wonder Woman Golden Lasso although it uses a non-stop station and would require more staff than the California option for that reason.

Actually Gravitykraft Corporation and Great Coasters International both do "wooden" coasters that have a hybrid steel structure. As long as the running rails are wood it is technically classed as wooden. I severely doubt we will see something as great as Steel Vengance here especially given it is over 200 feet and would steal the thunder from DC Rivals. If the park was to get something RMC then the obvious choice is raptor. For those worried about capacity running two trains the queue isn't as bad as you would fear plus it would offer a perfect Fast Track upsell opportunity.

So a coaster higher than 30 metres but less than 60 metres? Who says it needs to be a full wooden coaster? The Fun Spot parks in Florida have wooden coasters with steel supports. Steel supports with wood track apparently still make for a wooden coaster.

Highly ironic given how they have treated the movies release dates in the past (and by the looks of it the future) which is why I never have and looks to still be the case never will pay to see it in a cinema locally. Village even went as far as to say they won't bring the release in line with the rest of the world for The Lego Batman Movie due to the fact it won't be pirated enough to justify. Noticed on Sunday night they now have a Lego Movie 4D movie in Roxy so a Lego based ride isn't too much of far fetched idea just a matter of where to put it as it kinda doesn't fit in the WB Kids area or the rest of park.

That GCI interview has me wishing we had something of theirs locally. Great interviews and thanks for sharing.

For those wondering if they close these rides in a slight breeze like windseekers? The answer is no. It is a bit of a thrilling experience being on the SFoT one of these with the wind blowing you about.

Nope, I'm older than 13 and don't want to put up with people that age and younger yelling into a mic.

I would say they could build one of them running between SE station, TopGolf and WnW but that would actually be a smart idea

No point doing an article if it isn't properly researched

Would be surprised if they weren't also a company that claims piracy is having a massive negative impact on films in cinemas but delays movies because they wouldn't be pirated enough to warrant bringing them in line with almost every other countries cinema release dates.

The only upside to a third train would be able to run two trains on the track at all times with while the third is stripped down for maintenance. The reasons it hasn't been done are mentioned above.

Given the design it would fit in better at the new Westfield. Almost a perfect fit if there was some foresight to do a downtown district between the new shopping centre and Dreamworld. Combine it with something like an iFly, proper IMAX theatre and some US chain casual dining and they could have been onto something. The fact the new Westfield is around a month away from opening and there still isn't any sign of a link between the park and the new precinct is just madness. Major opportunity on the doorstep and as usual they have their heads in the sand.

A show that has "stunt driver" in the name where there really isn't any stunts in a park that has "movie world" in the name that doesn't really have any movie based attractions.

Having ridden two Vekoma Flying Dutchman I will say they aren't bad and actually quite intense. I wouldn't mind one if a B&M wasn't an option.
