I'm literally breaking down every frame and concept art I can find for this ride and trying to draw up the ride layout... I reckon i'm halfway there....

Just curious, how does one get invited to these VIP events for the rides! Also I've got major FOMO because i need a pass and I only have a VRTP one AHH

For those who haven't gotten around to viewing it, the 30 second version of the Spring County fair ad is on BigDatr now...
Note the 15 second version was uploaded before.
I like the attention to detail in photoshopping the blue fire clip to orange track instead of blue!

Bit sad to see all the comments on that facebook post of people saying it "looks boring".

So far today the train is just sitting on the track
And here are a few more photos
I'm finding it hard to believe how they are going to make this backend area nice... this footpath looks very narrow too? other than that though lanscaping for the coaster is looking fab!

Took me a hot second to understand what type of face mask they were referring to 🤣🤣

I know theres obvious reasons behind one train operations during the school period, however I find that visiting on weekends is often worse than in the holidays because of the crowds and one train operations. Ended up waiting 50mins for rivals on Saturday with one train... just my opinion that they should run two trains on weekends too, but yes I do understand logistics behind it

Sorry if this had already been mentioned, but I know we’ve been a bit sceptical of the opening of vortex right now, but when I went to wet n wild today I noticed on the big screen they had an ad for the new ride.
It stated “opening Summer 2020” once again so surely it must be done by February? I hope aha

Mine worked using the Order ID (from the email) and my email address, not the One Pass number.. I tried to add my partner and her sons passes using her order ID and email and it didn't work though.
Mine is not working for my unlimited pass unfortunately... I've tried every different email we have and the order ID and receipt ID and nothing 😕

Finally some wait times!!!!

i gotta say, I am actually quite excited for my next visit to WWW now... It seems Dreamworld are really caring for their parks more recently and this is proved with the opening of the new slides and repainting of everything. Looks like a brand new park!
WWW > WNW in my opinion now... and i never thought i'd say that.

Lack of single rider slides?
What about BRO, Little Rippers, Temple of Huey, Wedgie, Triple Vortex? Unless they’ve changed the rules on single tubes for some of them since I last went. But Fully 6 will definitely be a great addition to this line up
Oh very true, I was just thinking of single tube or mat slides... didn’t consider using a 2 or 3 person tube for one person ... my mistake
-
just looks a bit odd compared to the others without the barriers... No doubt all slides should be fun especially considering the lack of singular person rides at White water world currently

TOT was running all day today up until we left at 3. Went on it for the first time ever too.
Bit disappointed with the ride photo's we got. First two times we were in the back row, last time we were in the front right. All three photos of us are covered by the photoshopped head
What's the trick here? Front row left or do you need to ask for a non shopped photo somehow?
On the dreampix website you are able to select the photo and choose different borders as well
There is a generic dreamworldone which doesnt cover any heads, and I just cropped it to fit inside!

I went back on yesterday while waiting for TOT to open (which it didn't). The first time I walked into the new queue area/preshow area there were only two people in there, so I'm like cool no line I might just have to wait a few minutes for the cycle to finish. I waited maybe 5-10 minutes and after that, I was thinking surely they'll start batching into the next room... but then the preshow video started (the long boring first one), and the lights went down. I walked out, no way was I waiting another 5 minutes just to watch that preshow.
I did come back later and managed to time it perfectly so it was straight into the second preshow room (safety video). Once everyone was in, the ride op then explained all the safety instructions to the guests which took a minute or so, and I'm thinking like cool so we're just gonna skip the safety video and go to the gondolas... but then the safety video started playing just reiterating everything the ride op said.
Then.... once everyone was sat down and buckled in, the ride op comes around to check belts and this weird thing happens where she has to press a button, and then quickly check all the belts in 2 or 3 seconds before the lights go off, and if she didn't make it in time, she had to repeat checking all the belts. That process repeated 4 times because she wasn't quick enough! I don't remember that the last time I rode it, but it is absolutely stupid if the ride system only gives them a couple of seconds to check each gondola to dispatch.
I do enjoy the actual video and ride aspect of Sky Voyager, but the whole experience of it all is just woeful in my opinion, Dreamworld doesn't understand how to efficiently operate the attraction.
I think the general public does eat it up though as a new experience, I was sat next to a random bloke who was a bit nervous and was asking me about it because it was his first time. Then once he got off he was frothing, he absolutely loved it.
Yeah totally agree! The ride system is very weird how they have to buckle the belts! Also not loading people into the preshow room while the attraction is going ruins capacity, as well as being way understaffed. They definitely need at least 2 people on each level to do restraints.

Sky Voyager was something that Dreamworld needed in their ride lineup, but it wasn’t an attraction that was going to bring the crowds back like a major thrill ride would have.
True, the park was dead on Saturday and even Sunday was slightly busy but not bad at all. I’m just glad they have fixed that hole in their lineup now and the fact that they have now announced TOT’s closure, a new launch coaster is something exciting to look forward to.
idk how the public would react if they added the coaster first and then removed tower of terror, then announced a family ride, if you know what I’m saying...

Yesterday when riding we overshot the station actually. Had to roll us backwards and then control the train back into the station to “park” it they said. They were definitely trying to get as many trains through as possible.
just glad we got this picture for our last ride on it 🙏🏼

Undeniably the system is great for our little Aussie park, but I disagree it was 'what dreamworld needed' - there's been countless discussions here about how SV wouldn't "save" dreamworld - and they'd have benefited far more if they'd build the upcoming coaster first, and followed it up with SV.
Dreamworld needed a quality family attraction anyone can enjoy sooner than a new roller coaster.... only decent family ride I can think of other than SV is maybe shockwave or vintage cars from my memory...

Posted on their Instagram is a teaser video of a tube floating past the camera....

Yes when I went yesterday TOT was open until I left at around 2pm. Not sure about after, but it didn't have any breakdowns throughout the time I was there.

That’s not true. 3 out of 9 family rides are closed.
True, but it didn’t feel like it in the park. I am more into the thrills though so...

Can’t compare the 2 at all...
and as for AA not having maintenance issues? Strange to say when it’s currently in unplanned maintenance and has been for a couple of weeks already.
She won’t make another decade
It was open on Friday Night?

What maintenance issues has Superman got?
It's an intamin and it's been going since 2005. They aren't too reliable when they get to a certain age with their launches, hence, TOT.
