Heated pools keep the same or similar temperature even if there is a slight temperature drop. People would rather swim in a heated pool because the temperature is bearable, unlike unheated pools, where it takes ages to get use to the temperature.
Wet'n'Wild would want their guests to have an enjoyable experience in the park. Rather than shooting down a slide into an unbearably cold pool, all to leave you rushing to the edge of the pool to dry off as quickly as possible.
Winter in Sydney gets fairly cold. Even if Wet'n'Wild Sydney stays open all year round they would start loosing money due to the fact that guest wouldnt enjoy sliding down slides into a warm pool all to climb out and encounter a burst of freezing cold air as you walk to your next ride.

The pools are more than likely heated. It's not opened through winter because of the temperature difference. The Gold Coast has warm tropical weather all year round. While Sydney is warm during summer and fairly cold through winter.I wonder when their gonna get heated water like its Gold Coast cousin has?

Wasn't Terror Canyon and Terror Canyon II originally where constrictor is. I remember riding it before it closed. If I remember correctly they had lighting effects in them.

I'm sorry. But I really don't like how the screen is positioned. Maybe it's OCD or something but I'd rather see the screen in the centre of the boardwalk rather than on the side. And maybe a little bit lower to the ground.
Other than that Jamberoo has done a good job at fixing up the park for the 2014-2015 season. Hopefully we see some more progress on the Kangaroo Island expansion next year!!
I don't agree with the park being closed Monday to Fridays. But they need to save money somehow.

Who cares about the residents in the adjacent buildings. They bought those apartments. And anyway... They are powerless when it comes to LP rides. LP has more power. So they could add the worlds loudest coaster and put it right next to the buildings and LP would still get away with it.
-
We need one!!!
-
Spring into Corrimal on Sunday too. Unfortunately I have to work Sunday
. But I can see if my sister can grab a few photos when she goes. -
^^^. Good one Gazza!! Hahaha

Well I think Dreamworld has really picked up their game with refurbishing the Wipeout, replacing Reef Diver with Tail Spin and giving multiple rides a touch up. We may even see a proper ride / coaster, the way Dreamworld is going. Dreamworld has really taken a good turn.!!!
-
At least one person got the idea on how to ride it!
-
It has 2 rides that I counted. At least there is a drop tower!! Other than that, I'd rather spend the day at Luna Park
-
I'm going to PAX In Melbourne with a few friends too. We got 3 day passes. So excited for it
-
Ok. But could you grab a photo of it anyway. I'd love to see what it looks like.
-
Could you get a photo of the old UFO spot if possible. From the Ferris wheel would be perfect. And if possible ask some of the workers if they know of any plan for a UFO replacement.
Thanks

^ oh ok. I didn't realise there was an elevator at the entrance.
-
I remember riding the elevator into the sovernier shop from the ride exit. This was before tot2. So things must have changed.
The elevator was for exiting the ride, and a ramp was at the entrance.

^^Here is a YouTube Video of The Cyclone when it was The Big Dipper at Luna Park Sydney.
This is a fairly old video so there is a good chance most of you guys have seen it
-
About time. I have a feeling it won't be as good as the others but it looks like something to give a look at.

You would think TOT would be classed as a rollercoaster cause, when it first open' wasn't it the fastest, tallest rollercoaster in the world at the time?
Yes it was. It held this record for a few months before 'superman escape from krypton' at six flags was built. SEFK matched the height and speed of TOT. But the thing I hate is the fact that when SEFK was constructed, americans labeled it the 'tallest and fastest in the world' when in fact TOT beat them by a few months with the exact same ride. It's kind of unfair if you think about it.
-
Hopefully the corkscrews aren't in too bad of a state, I'm hoping they'll do something like Alton Towers did with their corkscrew and set up the corkscrews on display at the front of the park.
Wow. That's a great idea. Like a tribute to the Sea Viper.
-
There is a post about this already.
"2014 In Dreamworld - Tail Spin construction, Wipeout refurbishment, Triple Vortex construction"
It's a few posts down

I haven't been to dreamworld for ages. But last time I went I rode TOT, before they reversed the car. Wow it was fun!! But I have noticed in a few POV videos and personal experiences, the launch has noticeably decreased in speed since the opening of TOT2.
Is there a reason behind this?
can TOT go back to its normal speed?

^damn. All our hopes have been destroyed.
. But I can see if my sister can grab a few photos when she goes.

Think of a Wild Mouse inside a mountain with Mine Carts as the Coaster Cars.
