Looks like we can see some of the queue in there It’s going to do awesome queuing for this ride with the coaster rushing around everywhere. The noises it’s going to make 👌🏻

It’s the same for Trident Why would they announce a specific date and then change their mind. I get delays happen, but surely you wouldn’t confirm a date and less you absolutely knew that date was going to happen and everything was in place

I think it looks odd because it’s a real statement and sticks out from a number of locations across the park. You can pretty much see it everywhere now. But that’s probably because what used to be there was very low to the ground. I think once all the theming goes in, then it will start to fit better

We could potentially see it open in October/November. Rivals track was completed early June and opened in late September

Wow, they’re already getting the track under the helix installed

I never even realised Austin Powers had left

Exactly, the coaster reached a cheerely new point today

The track has reached a new heigh point today

Crane currently working around the helix after launch

7 day operation will return for the winter school holidays, but with the 10-4 hours. Then it will go back to 4 days until the September holidays

HAHAHA oh you have no idea. That would actually be very difficult and would take years upon years of planning and approvals. The biggest issue would be crossing over the motorway.

Both

Two rains are shown in the concept POV And the tunnel will be before the loop and according to the video, there will be an access path/bridge to get from Main Street to the Giant Drop

The park never stated they were getting two, but it was always assumed. The video may have the parts for both trains, but because they’ll look the same, there is no way in telling. Hopefully we do get two, the queue length will be insane during the busy periods

Yeah it looks like it and that will be awesome. A coaster like this will be awesome, but adding in all this rock work to launch through and weave in and out of will take it to another level

The first half of the coaster is almost complete. The track that leads into the loop was installed today, plus more supports

The first time I saw Water World was at Universal Japan. No English at all in the show and I thought it was the best thing ever

Generally train maintenance should be commented when a ride is closed for maintenance

I was listening to the most recent episode of the Park Life podcast over the weekend, featuring Warren Luff (who is one of the key leaders in the Hollywood Stunt Driver shows). At one point they discussed how when the Hollywood Stunt Driver changed to HSD 2, Showtime FX was given the contract to create the show, etc. (This was something I did already know, but just giving some background info). Mike Croaker said how the older shows in the main arena where created in house and operated by VRTP. Now, I am not bagging out Showtime FX because I can only imagine how much time, effort and skill goes into the shows and they are pretty good at what they do. They have a very talented team. However, I do wish the shows were still created in house. I’m sure the VRTP team still have their say on the shows, but they would mostly be directed by Showtime. Hollywood Stunt Driver was a great show (not quite at the level that Police Academy was), but the second version has never really got to that level. Great stunts, but the storyline has always seemed a bit confused or unpolished. And now Thunder Lake Stunt Show. The stunts are also great, but the story just isn’t the best. My point being, should the parks go back to creating these shows once again? Or how could Showtime improve/expand the current offerings?

Makes sense. They will probably just always have the spinning train running and during peak periods have the other train operating too. This allows for extra normal seats for more riders that don’t want to pay the up charge of the spinning gondola.

This was the original post and he had commented on it

This year is also Dreamworld 40th birthday, do we think we will see some celebrations for this milestone? Maybe they’ll open Steel Taipan on their birthday?

According to TPSN, the announcement is about the parks 30th anniversary
