It's a shame because I used to believe Dreamworld had the best PR department. I don't know why everyone is talking up WVTP, they don't invite theme park sites to official media days either.
-
They've started advertising this ride on TV. There's no imagery of the attraction or even a description of what it is; they simply call it 'Movie World's most extreme ride: Batwing Spaceshot, coming soon' or something similar.
-
Woah; calm down dreamworld_rulz. If you'd bothered reading our Guidelines you'd know that a friendly attitude is always expected on these forums.

I think Gazza might've injected a little sarcasm into his reasoning:
The logo does look insane though.Yes, there has been this long running problem engineers have had. It seems normal rules dont apply, and despite the fact that a space shot is essentially a strong steel frame attaching signs to it simply wont work. It has to do with variations in the earths magnetic field causing weakness in the structure.... -
That is seriously cool. I'm loving the logo at the top.
-
Yeah, the fact that he was afraid of other people and only ventured out under the cover of darkness means he's likely to be a roller coaster nerd. /say Batwing is going to pwn.

I was thinking the same thing earlier in the year but the structure has gone up so damn quickly; I don't think time is an issue anymore. Structurally, most of the ride is complete. It's only a matter of finishing the rest of the ride system (the launch components and electronics), but they can be installed simultaneously with the theming. This timeframe gives them a whole month to fabricate and fit the theming. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with Superman's theming? I guess I've been spending too much time at Dreamworld.

IMDB is never wrong. I remember hearing on the news that if Warner Bros. didn't get the insurance money quickly they would close down the production studios.

It's not maths, it's magic. It does seem kind of strange why you would feel weightlessness going up, and it did confuse me at first (I even considered the possibility that Richard was wrong
). But alas, he's correct. Weightlessness by definition occurs when a body is accelerating at the same speed as gravity (making the object have no apparent weight, weight being mass by gravity) and this is indeed the case. It's decelerating at the same rate throughout the entire vertical part. -
Most likely it was a mistake by the website's developer.

That description (emphasis added) seems to give the impression that they use the method of 'annual maintenance' to administer the daily testing. The absence of the word 'to' (as in "undergo daily testing through to annual maintenance") really gives a completely different meaning to Dreamworld's safety workings. It's been down for almost two weeks now. They've also gone to the effort of completely blocking the ride's queue off. Is that how the ride usually looks when they are conducting regular scheduled maintenance? Or is this a special 'cover up our mistakes' shield?At Dreamworld guest safety is our number one priority. All rides and attractions undergo daily testing through annual maintenance and regular safety audits and inspections. As part of this process the Eureka Mountain Mine Ride will close temporarily for all Dreamworld guests. -
Advertising an unopened ride too early may actually decrease attendance in the build up to the ride opening. I think it's a much better strategy to advertise a newly opened attraction, something which the general public can act on immediately (by visiting the park and riding it) instead of just marking a calendar and avoiding the park until then.

You'll never see anything similar to Disney's FASTPASS® queuing service at any other theme park in the world as it has been patented (#6,173,209). Dreamworld is notorious for long queuing times. Thunder River Rapids and Giant Drop are among the worst.
-
Yes, both sides of the Giant Drop are operating at the moment.

You're absolutely right myk. I should stop comparing grammatical inaccuracies to the holocaust.

This video is absolutely hilarious. YouTube's description sums it up pretty well:
I don't think she's in any danger (the harness between her legs would keep her in no matter what) but it's damn funny that all her mum can do is laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEp59uh-UEU&NRThis girl goes through the scariest ride in her life, and her mom is laughing all about it -
Thanks for bringing this to my attention dreamworld_rulz. I will deviate from the topic of Sea World's fantastic new Ferris wheel for just a few moments to clear up this issue (if you're just after Sea World information, feel free to skip this post). Not once in my brief post did I accuse you of misspelling Disneyland or Dreamworld. I made a comparison between you and the people who misspell these proper nouns. It is my personal opinion that you are 'as bad' as people who engage in this hideous activity. The specific reasoning behind an opinion can be 'wrong', such as the facts relied upon to make such a statement, but the opinion itself cannot be wrong. The fact that you think the opinion is wrong is in itself an opinion—the irony.

Looks very exciting. More photos can be found on RCDB.com. It features two vertical chain lift hills! Has anyone ever been on a coaster with a vertical lift hill? I imagine it'd be rather insane.
-
I don't know what sort of budget Movie World has allocated this ride and whether they're classing it as a minor or major addition but I'd also love to see an indoor launch. A simple yet creative pre-show would really complete a ride of this type. I'm sure Movie World has enough existing talent to put together a simple story. They did a brilliant job with Superman Escape's storyline. Adding a little something extra (like indoor launch theming) would really help to differentiate this ride from Dreamworld's Giant Drop.
-
The sliding gondola design is patented. It would also be a massive job (for Sea World) to re-engineer the entire wheel. It'd be much easier to simply buy a new one from Intamin. Disneyland is a single word.
-
What were the original closure dates? I was surprised to see it operating today.
-
It's not two words. You're as bad as those people who think it's Dream World or Disney Land. I really hope the Ferris wheel turns out to be permanent.

I was at Dreamworld today and they had water running down a variety of rides. The LIM sections on the Rocket Slide have been covered with orange plastic (this question was asked earlier on the forums). Water and high current electricity don't mix too well.

I've definitely felt some pretty hot water drip from those steam pipes before. Although it looks less cool, I guess steam is more sustainable than chemical-filled artificial smoke.
