I would say that would just be another improvent. We might see some more changes to the ride next year in its schedule maintenance. I think the next couple of year will be a good year for Dreamworld, with the new attractions opening and the changes being made so far, I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have planned to do. ALSO, Here are the latest construction photos of Tail Spin (photo source: Thrillz):

Dreamworld said there would be 2 major refurbishment. Wipeout had a major refurbishment, Claw is just having a fresh coat of paint and the cameras on the GD are just an extra addition.

I don't think MW class it as a thrill ride, but because of the way their website is set up, they have just put it under the thrills category. They have thrills, which is nearly all rides, kids fun, which is the Kids WB Area and family entertainment, which is the shows. If you click on the information of rides it does say its a moderate ride. If they just renamed that section to just RIDES, then it would be more appropriate. I haven't been to the park (except at Fright Night) since the ride opened and from what I have seen the ride looks pretty impressive. Themed really well and provides a great atmosphere. I can understand why the ride doesn't have long queues because of wheres it positioned. When you walk into the park it isn't something that you automatically see, unlike the rides around it. If they extended the theming out a bit, then it may be more visible, or if they fitted a sign saying 'Justice League: Alien Invasion' This Way. I doubt that MW are overly concerned about this though. Regarding it as a replacement of Batman the Ride, I think it is a good one. Yes the journey you are taken on in Batman: the ride, was good, I didn't find it an overly enjoyable ride. I only ever rode it a couple of times, because of this.

The mini Tornado is currently being installed. Its green, over half of it is complete and is positioned to the left of the Junior attraction.

Slide pieces for Triple Vortex are currently being put in place. So far there is one of the tornado's and a couple of sections of enclosed slide sections.

Here is a video of a ride very similar to Tail Spin. You can see how they work on it:

Looking at the images closely I can now see how the seating works. Really like AA or Escape from Madagascar, as someone said earlier. On the planes wings you can see the levers they you pull back and forth to get the plane to tilt/spin.

^I would assume so, but how do they get in them.

^Thankd for those photos, I can't believe that they are already testing the ride. One question though, how do people get into the planes? I've never been on this type of ride before and I can't figure out how they do. The claw and the refreshed sign look great. The blue path throughout Ocean Parade provides a good fresh look to the area. And those Wipeout photos are awesome.

^It doesn't look like there will be. It wasn't operating last year either though, so I'm not surprised.

^I agree and think the public interaction is good. I voted for the Cannibal Clowns maze.

MW have released infer about Fright Night (http://movieworld.com.au/fright-nights.aspx#!): The theme is "Live the Terror" It is on the 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18, 24th, 25th, 31st. There will be 4 new mazes The rides that will be open are AA, GL, SE, BS and SDSC Movie World want the public to vote for the last maze, Cannibal Clowns or Rage Rampage. I'm definitely looking forward to it again this year

^There is a Screamworld that night as well, so that will be a stand out addition to the night.

Thrillz posted these photos on their FB page:

^Isn't it September 19 because right now its 26 days 18hrs. Also Dreamworld uploaded this photo to FB:

^I agree. If you look at WnW Sydney's Jnr. attraction it seems like that too:

This is what I think they were trying to say: "Hi there, my name is 20mins (when actually it's Trevor A Knott), did you know that in the Inbetweeners 2 movie they filmed it at WnW GC"

Thanks for those photos. It's good to see that WnW have finally decided to put shelters over some of the seating. And it seems like WnW junior will be coming together quickly. On the maintenance page that Buccaneer Bay will be reopening on the 22nd September, so I'd imagine it will be opening shortly after that.

^I would imagine that it is possible. Does anyone know why the fence was raised along there? I have seen images where people used to be able to watch as people go past. Was it due to someone falling in, or people throwing items at riders?

^If someone can remember the layout they could just draw over the top of a satellite image showing how it went.

Thrillz also posted these photos: The Claw's paint works is coming along nicely: The River Rapids fence is getting replaced, maybe people will be able to watch riders as they go past again:

Construction is coming along nicely. Theming of the ride is looking even better. Can't wait for this to open.

^^I do agree with you on some points. The path needs to be relayed and different top surface on it so it is more comfortable and doesn't feel as hot in Summer. I could be wrong, but I believe that they smoothed out the slide joints so it is smoother. And its slow because they have to make sure everyone is at the boot because some people go down faster than others. It hasn't been that many years since they changed the slides and tower.

^^Personally I think the river rapids (green slides) are a good addition and are always popular. People of all ages ride them because they aren't extreme, but provide enough enjoyment to people. I don't think they should get rid of any of their slides they are all enjoyable. I would like to see the super 8 racer have an upgrade though. The slide is becoming a bit old now and needs a fresh coat of paint. Maybe make half of it a tunnel, just to add to the anticipation of the race.

The Claw is closed from the 20/08/2014 - 29/08/2014 (Weekdays only). With the refurbishment of Ocean Parade it would have been good for them to relocate/remove the V8 Supercars Redline, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening or isn't a high priority at this point in time.
