I never watched the movie when it was running, but recall it being quite small walking through it, maybe 30 or so people cinema?

That's the one. Thanks @themagician

A few years back they did a series of videos about the park, two younger guys hosted it. One of them was about changing the warning light on the top of the tower (I think) and showed inside. Stairs and I think a small lift?

What are the chances the upper brake blocks have had much maintenance over the years... Probably slim

And it only landed yesterday. Probably due for a major service so being stored until needed? Or in the area to be used at the V8 Event in a few weeks time.

Which is a great idea. Firstly, why take on an well established product. Secondly, target an empty part of the market. We went to the first two fright nights at movie world, and as it ramped up towards more of the horror aspect, it didn't suit us as well as then having small kids.

And goes with the theme of a timber mill. Hopefully he's attending a seminar on cage removal.

Welcome to Parkz, that's just how it is around here unless you're part of the in crowd.

Given the current draw required and the new coaster using the same (but more modern) system, the input to the park might require an electrical system upgrade - or not launch both simultaneously.

Probably all it's capable of pulling.

@Naazon I agree, I loved watching Rock n Rollercoaster launch at Disney Paris. Even the curtains in the window above 'moving' in the wind. But showing the launch might not fit the attempted theme for SE.

The idea of Superman is that you a catching a train, and the attack isn't expected, so the whole launch etc is to be a surprise (except that you walk under the launch track).

I think I saw the end of that last night on TV. Between 5pm & 7pm on Channel 7

And ultimately, the train could be put into an easement and still run across the site if the Big Brother studio/Blue Lagoon section is sold off.

The abomination meets its fate and surplus rail and rollingstock become available for the 2ft gauge societies to try and acquire.

There was rock close to the surface prior to the fill, wasn't there? Vs swampy land around MW.

It's been a long time since I've been there, but would be turning left prior to rocky hollow station, along the edge of Motocoaster, through (the assumed to be removed TOT2 uprights) then around to Main Street station be possible? The photo below is from near the shed, which is higher than the railway from memory, so seems possible to me. Relocate the train shed into the TOT2 tunnel location.

We've got to remember this is a ride from the "we need to do something as cheaply as possible era" of dreamworld. Clearly in the 9 month wait, no one reviewed the budget produced pre-show. Now it's opened in a rush. Hopefully with the new direction and leadership, this is under review and a new process is in development.

So had there been any changes to the existing helicopter pads?

You would expect better soil conditions at Dreamworld which would make construction easier too.

Modern Tom and Jerry shows are on TV at least once a week, depending on 9Go's schedule.

Or put a motorcycle coaster next to old Australiana and kids areas.

Orange and dark greys. Some kind of poorly executed tiger theme?

Look at your target market though. The area is new and colourful when they are little. But they quickly grow up and move on to other parts of the park. Another little child comes along for their first visit and it's all amazing and "new" again. There's no need to update as the guest changes regularly. Just maintain and replace as necessary. Just look at the Wiggles, 20+ years of the same costumes, characters and songs. And it works. You've got to look at it from that perspective, not an adult fans point of view. There's no need to spend money when your audience is constantly growing up and being replaced.

Time to start saving up for passes for both Dreamworld and Village parks. Rivals, Leviathan and a Mack launched coaster. The Gold Coast is going to have a good range of coasters now.
