Batwing is also closed temporarily

I haven’t seen evidence that the train was empty. It might have had riders on it and they got them out. And they haven’t made a statement that it was because of the winds, but people have made an assumption that’s the reason (which I do agree seems to be the reason)

Agreed, and with JL and GL down all holidays, they desperately need to get Rivals back in operation otherwise queues could become a shit show again

The train was still in the same position a couple days ago

What’s everyone’s thoughts on maze locations this year? In 2019 they had 4 out in the sheds and one in the dodgems area. I’d imagine it will be the same again this year, but could they potentially also use the second half of the arcade area and allow for one bigger maze in the sheds? As Doll Haus and Zombieland are in the same shed, I assume they haven’t been touched since 2019 and will be in the same position. And the same for IT.

Scooby is no longer listed under maintenance

It definitely won’t be ready for September school holidays which begin next week. I’m thinking it could be opening in November in time for the summer holidays

The rivals train is still mid course and has been strapped down into place so it doesn’t move.

I honestly forgot about that ride, but let’s be real, it will probably break down anyway. I don’t think this is something that our parks will do. I’ve never seen them reduce the entry ticket for any reason.

So they have Batwing and Superman as the only operating thrill rides today

Yeah apparently four people were ‘trapped’ on the ride 10 metres in the area and QFS was called to assist with removing then. Classic media making the safety systems sound deadly.

Last week there was a large crane on site with works happening on the higher areas of Kaboom. Not sure what was happening, but for a crane to be on site, could it be for replacing parts?

There was a press event at the park this morning

The event is back from September 17 to October 9. Belinda’s Barnyard Buddies petting zoo, spring-themed entertainment, American-style eats, showbags and even a very special performance from Shannon Noll. https://www.dreamworld.com.au/what-s-on/spring-county-fair/

These kind of facts don’t mean anything to the GP though. Rivals had a lot of firsts if you want to brake it down, but all that really matters is height, speed, gforce, launches (if applicable) and specifically unique elements (like backwards/spinning seats)

So a longer and better big red car ride, but bluey

Testing of trident has apparently begun

Event is now live on the website. https://frightnights.com.au 3 returning mazes, 2 new yet to be announced. Tickets from $79. No mention of UTT.

The photos I posted were from late last year when the train reappeared

Really? I didn’t find vortex intense at all, it was just jolty, uncomfortable and made you want to get off because it’s not enjoyable. Leviathan is going to be one of, if not the most intense ride in the park (Jet Rescue being the current winner)

@Rivals you would be correct in thinking of that train. The larger train at the station is fenced off during the night markets. Little Puff has a couple steps at the back so that kids can stand in the carriage and at the ‘controller’. I believe there is even a sign that says to not climb

After years of SBNO, the day has finally arrived
