There are currently 3 of the rapids boats in the carparks, just out the front of the BuzzSaw, with the other 6 to be brought out shortly. Apparently they are all going to be individually weighed as part of the rides investigation.

I wonder how much of an effect this incident will have on the completion and opening date of the LEGO store and the completion of Stage 2 of Tiger Island.

Do people think the ride will ever reopen? Because I personally am not sure if the park would modify the ride, or they just wouldn't risk it, despite the likeliness of this type of event happening again is very unlikely. And I imagine there would be quite a bit of backlash from the GP if they were to reopen the ride. But I imagine their are quite a few people who don't think the park should reopen (and I do know a couple of people that think that), but I don't think thats an option. It could take years before people gain trust from the parks again, or this event is not the first thing people think of when they visit the park or go on any rides, but eventually the park will return to its normal self. I know that as soon as the park reopens, as soon as I can I will be visiting the park to show my support.

Police are not finished with the scene and don't want it to be affected by anyone in anyway. I doubt it will open until it's been given the clear. It was said on the news that it was believed that DW would've returned to normal operations on Saturday, with the area and rides around river rapids to remain closed.

I'm not surprised they are reopening tomorrow. The police have given the clear that the whole park isn't a crime scene, despite the investigation continuing until necessary. I imagine that area of the park will be closed for some time, but I'm ademant that the park is safe. I think what happened Tuesday was a freak accident. The ride passed the maintenance period, and despite reports it closing due to issues earlier that day I doubt that'll be linked to the incident, otherwise they wouldn't have reopened the ride. I'm glad they are having the Memorial Day in respect of the victims and their families. I imagine it would a week or so before the majority of the rides reopen, but BuzzSaw I see will be staying closed until the investigation is complete. And for the Rapids ride, who knows what will happen. It's just going to take quite a while before DW is back to normal.

Ignore this, wrong thread

Don't know if I missed someone else posting this, but the park will be reopening Friday at 11pm for a 'Memorial Day' and all proceeds will go to the Red Cross in support of the families. WWW will be open, along with some of the smaller rides and Corrobbee.

Went to the park not to long ago to lay some flowers out the front as a sign of respect, and there are already plenty of flowers placed out the front. Such a horrible thing to happen, and am truly shocked by it all. Thoughts are with the victims and all those involved.

Reports have just said that one of the boats slipped on the lift hill of the river Rapids, sliding back and crashing into another boat, causing it to flip. At this stage it's believed 2 people have been killed, and 4 injured. Horrible news, and thoughts are with those injured and their family and friends

Well online now you can online purchase tickets that are for both DW and WWW, and not just for the individual park

Welcome to the forums Carnivale is usually around Easter time. This year it was mid April through to mid May. So imagine it would be similar dates in 2017

The finalists for the Reel Horror Film Festival have been uploaded online:

This map shows it. Where the current fenced off area is will be stage 2, and features another exhibit space, with a pool, allowing guests to get even closer to the tigers. And then to the right of that will be a new space where you can book for the Tiger experience to have your photo with one.

@reanimated35 Nope

I did try the ride when I went to FN, and it did complete 4 spins each way (If i remeber correctly) which did allow it to pick up more speed and more it more thrilling, but for me, it did make me feel a bit dizzy.

No @Jamberoo Fan. Not major steel works, but along the top around the edges I noticed some that wasn't there. But yes there is a lot of scaffolding around the building now

Just in case anyone is interested, this is what Pandamonium looks like without the arms on it:

I hope that DW make it flow from the rest of the entrance, so it doesn't look completely out of place.

Some plants are being installed into the rock faces, work has begun on a new rock face as you head towards the shop, and a railing has been added at the front of the stadium

More steel has been installed

That's strange because I know I voted for the flash, and then I checked back a few minutes later and now it's chicken soup

And why has 'The Flash' changed to 'Chick Soup for the Soul'?

It is possible to purchase in pack, but believe, and I could be wrong, but do think they are a bit more expensive in park.

@Ryande16 I drove past it this afternoon, and turned into MW and drove past the site slowly and there wasn't anything major to take photos of. There were a few more footings, some more materials, but thats it. But as @AlexB, if there is something worth saying about, or taking photos of, don't worry, we will if possible and will post them.

DW have finally decided to theme their rides to Churros
