While going to Movie World for most of the day, I went to Wet N Wild for about half an hour to get on Surfrider 4 times, as you didnt even have to leave your seat and run around again. I also spent time looking around the construction sites. Aqualoop has officially gone vertical. Sorry no pics Anyway it is about the same height as the top of the Aqua Racer at the present time. Apart from that, not much was going on. I recommend going to Wet N Wild. NO CROWDS!! -
Just came back from the park recently. Have to say not bad for holidays. Superman Escape was about 20min wait all day, batwing was 15min at the most, scooby doo broke down for about an hour near the start of the day, increasing to a 30min wait. Wild West was 5min and Lethal Weapon was 5 to 10min. The worst queue of the day was the Vip Pass processing centre. Waited in line for 30-40min, as many people kept line jumping. Overall very good day for the holiday period.

Check this out from Whitewater West. Wet N Wild got a mention. Woohoo WhiteWater launches Dueling AquaLoops Head-to-head looping body slides generating unprecedented guest buzz posted on 11:00 AM, June 29, 2010 The launch of the Dueling AquaLoops waterslides, expandes the AquaLoop family with a thrilling new design that doubles capacity and takes guest entertainment to a whole new level. The Dueling AquaLoops are a unique configuration of WhiteWater’s immensely popular AquaLoop looping waterslide, a winner in the IAAPA 2009 Best New Waterpark Product category. The Dueling AquaLoops put one rider against another in a head-to-head speed challenge, delivering heart-pounding excitement for riders and offering entertainment for spectators below. Starting from a single tower, riders stand inside the launch capsules and await the countdown. 3…2…1…go! The floor drops and riders plunge 45 ft (17 m) down, accelerating to speeds of nearly 38 mph (60 Km/h), hurtling up and over the near-vertical loop as more than 2.4 G’s press their bodies against the flume before they splash into the runout. It’s sure to be the most intense waterslide experience of their lives! The first Dueling AquaLoops – two of them, totaling four AquaLoops – are currently being installed at Wet‘n’Wild Water World in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. “The Dueling AquaLoops are one of the most exciting waterslide concepts to hit the market in a long time”, says Bob White, General Manager of Wet’n’Wild Water World. “Sending guests on a head-to-head race through the trap doors, down the flumes and around the nearly vertical loops will be amazing. We loved the idea so much; we’re putting in four AquaLoops! The ride has already generated unprecedented interest from our guests, so we are looking forward to a great summer!” -
Hey guys. Every time I have been on Superman Escape, at the bottom of the first drop to the top of the second hill, I get those "silver stars" kind of thing. I have looked on the internet and people have said they get this from standing up to quickly. I also get this occasionally. Scientists claim it is to do with low blood pressure, or change in blood flow to the brain. This makes sense, since on Superman Escape it changes from positive to negative g's. Just to let you know i am not afraid of it and still enjoy superman as much. I have not experienced on any other roller coaster (haven't been on any overseas) and was just wanting to know if any of you have experienced this on Superman or other roller coasters. Thanks guys.

As speculated, the Myfun Vip pass is back. Named National Year of Fun, it is still only $99.95 for unlimited entry till june 30 2011. The only bad news is that this sure will pull massive crowds. Although this is a good thing for the parks, it is bad news for the enthusiast. Heres the link: https://myfun.com.au/vippass/default.aspx

Gazza, I happen to have a Saturday GC Bulletin and I know you said it was over the front cover, but i can't seem to find it. If you can tell me where it is, I can scan it for you guys. Cheers -
The day I went, two weeks ago, Tower of Terror opened at 10:30. Strange.
-
Hey guys. Thought this would be interesting.
-
I agree with TimMc333 that we should get a floorless dive machine. I really think that it would suit Dreamworld and be a great ride to market. If that's not an option we could always just put in a giga. That would be fine also.
-
Yeah, I went down today and went on it 4 times. I have to say it is much better than it looks and very intense. The drop is very godd and quite shocking the first time. It takes your breath away as you get pumped in the face with a wall of water, and the rest of the ride pins you to the side, and finally you get blasted up and down the sides of the tube, out the other end. Also as you fly out the end of the ride another wall of water connects with your face and it is as though you are thinking. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. I also checked out Illuminate, and was utterly dissapointed. It was a huge waste of money, and terrible move by Deamworld. The Spongebob section was a disgrace and the finale wasn't even that good. It was also very short. Sorry Dreamworld, but Illuminate was dreadful.

Hey. I was just wondering if you think there will be another QLD VIP pass that starts june 30 this year and goes to June 30 2011, or if it was just a one off, because last year I got the dreamworld/www 2 year pass, so I didn't get the QLD VIP pass and if another one was to come out I would definitely purchase this time round.
-
Come on guys we know its April fools day and I don't think anyone would fall for this.
-
So where is the wedgies queue line. Is it merged with the green rooms, because if it is I will be frustrated. The amount of times i have gone to go on the little rippers and there are people saying, "Oi you don't push in!" And I tell them they are waiting for a totally different ride. "Oh sorry mate". It gets really annoying. Also was the Wedgie open today or is it openeing on friday 2 april. Cheers
-
Yeah that was awesome. I was seatin right next to cave of waves when the helicopter came and all my things went flying as well as all the plastic chairs. I got a pic exactly like yours.
-
Anyone going to go to dreamworld on friday 2 to check out the wedgie and illuminate? I know I'll be going on Saturday 3 as school holidays is starting. I hope to get many rides on the day after opening day. A bit off topic but did anyone else go to the annual pass holders exclusive opening day to www the day before it opened to the public. It was really awesome.
-
Thanks for the pic Donjailn. It looks like the slide should stand out in bright yellow.
-
I agree with Klassen. The ride sucks.
-
Congrats man! That is sweet. I wish I could do it as good as you. I have tried, but failed miserably.
-
Have any of you guys gone to see the MTV show at Dreamworld. I went last week and it was quite good, because I didn't know what to expect. It had lots of lights, loud music and stunts which made for a great show.
-
I thought I'd just have a bit of fun creating this. I added a lot of possibilities and some funny ones at the end for a bit of a laugh considering this is a theme park enthusiast forum. I think it would be interseting to see how many times you guys go. I personaly go once a month. Cheers Intamin

Just to let you know it's Blackhole not blackout. -
I so hope they put stand up seats on the giant drop. Now that would be awesome.
