  1. It really doesn't matter to me if its just over one metre off, it's still a hypercoaster in my book, even though it's not technically official, it's just too tiny of a difference. If it was 5-10 metres short then i would say wouldn't be able to hold the title

    Youre just going to have to put your hands up reeeeeallly high while going over the lift hill!:lol:

  2. You would also have to keep in mind that a large part of the Vikings Flume horseshoes around the roof of the 4D theatre which supports the elevated part of the ride. So if Sea World did decide to scrap Vikings and build a new attraction in it's place, it would have to correspond with the theatre's location or be stuck with a really small ride footprint

    This article states that Dreamworld has had at least 5 serious safety incidents since 1995. I never knew of these incidents until now

    Apart from the log ride incident and the fatal helicopter crash in 2009 I thought Dreamworld up to this point has had an almost completely perfect safety record ever since the day it opened three decades ago.

     

     

  4. Is it just me of has that ride been closed for Maintenence for a while now. In December 2013 me and my family went up to Aussie World for the first time and I was looking forward to riding it, but to my dissapointment it was down for Maintenence. But anyway I still had a good time and would come back again some other time when it was open. I just checked their website a few days ago and it says it's down for Maintenence.... Still?

    Maybe it has been operating in the time since then but the site doesn't really give that much info whether their rides will be open or closed or for how long, so maybe someone here has a better idea what's going on.

    Can you support that?... considering we had several reports of test runs, and photo evidence of train movement on the track - We've all seen the photos. We know the theming is shot. the mountain is run down and its a bit dusty, but come on - we have no evidence of any mechanical flaw in the system at all...

    yeah but the test runs are pretty few and far between, there is still glimmers of hope but we still don't exactly know why the ride closed in the first place. A ride doesn't just close for almost 10 years with out a good reason, for all we know there could be tons of problems inside that mountain that might can't be fixed

  6. I think the main reason why people are so upset with this whole issue is not the fact that the ride closed, but how it closed so suddenly without prior warning. I went on it basically only about a month before and had no idea that there was anything wrong with it and that it would close.

    And when it did close Dreamworld said it was only shut for maintenance reasons and will open again soon. Now, 10 years later and it still stands there abandoned without Dreamworld giving the general public a proper explanation on why the ride's just sitting there rotting away. I've really lost hope that the ride will ever open again, the coaster's screwed
