There is a countdown timer on their Instagram story, so the announcement will be made at midnight

New record! Doomsday was operating for 8 days

There are two seperate control booths on either side of the tower. Id say both operators synchronised their button pushing so they both went up at the same time, so that loading/unloading is more efficient as ifs happening at the same time

They do show the metres!

This has made an already mediocre ride even worse. You’d probably have more fun on a playground swing. Operating the ride like this means it can’t get any speed, making it just a slow and very controlled swing. Obviously they’re having to operate the ride like this and for only 4 hours a day because the major issues it’s having haven’t been properly rectified.

All of this is viewable behind a mesh fence and then just used a zoom camera

Reo is down for the slab and a heap of pipe works have been installed

One column has been installed

It’s all cleared up now and they’ve been working on the walls and roofs of the first aid building now that it’s not hidden behind other structures

More parts have arrived. There is so much of it, it seems that nearly all of it could be here now

Track painting is almost complete A close up look at the Big Red Planes And green battens are replaced the Far Far Away facade And they continue towards Belinda’s Tree House

The ride is definitely open today

Big Red Planes officially opens today

Signage has been added to the fencing at SW now! (Credit: Theme Park Ogre)

Thanks @DaptoFunlandGuy for the image and areas. I’ve circled the areas that I think are most plausible for the rides to go. Area A is the most likely as this area has been fenced off and there have been works happening in this area for a few months now. Option B could be a good area depending on how the coaster is placed. It could be good for the Ferris wheel and a small queue setup (like what there is now). Option C could be a nice spot if they plan to remove the fountains and hide the former TOT store, but it could be too close to what’s becoming Ocean Parade.

They might still be as I’ve only heard a rumour it might be going. If it does staying, where could it be going if they’re also keeping the Candy flyer and relocating the Ferris wheel

The Candy Flyer originally didn’t have any maintenance scheduled for the year as I believe it was originally slated to be removed. But a few months ago maintenance was scheduled in and it is currently closed for a couple weeks. So I think they changed their minds to keep the ride count up. I’ve heard a rumour that the Big Red Boat from Wiggles World is also going to be relocated and rethemed.

I hope so too, but it seems like there is quite a bit of work to do. I don’t know the full extent of the works required, but if the piling has to continue the whole way, they aren’t even half done. At least Dreamworld got there’s sorted before the school holidays!

Nice find @Ogre For comparison in length, SpongeBob’s coaster at SW is 80m

Like this, but very faded

Ray Reef has finally got a new sign
