Was wondering if it may have had a soft opening today, billboard on the M1 just after springwood heading into Brissy was advertising Leviathan with "ride it now". Very excited!
-
Spinning seat was absolutely insane, I am fine chain running DC rivals backwards but I dont think I can do more than 1 spinning in a day. 100% worth doing but trying to figure out where you are is disorienting and left my head spinning for quite a while after.
One second you are facing forward, next second you are upside down facing backwards.
I feel we are lucky to have this opportunity to ride something so intense. What a day!

Given Tailwhip seats aren't available for purchase online for tomorrow, I assume tomorrow we'll see walk-ins available.
They had walk-ins available today, I managed to purchase one. Hopefully it's the same throughout the soft opening.

Managed to make it to dreamworld this morning for the soft opening, bit of a delay at the start but running smoothly now.
Got the second ride of the day in the front seat and wow, I love it. The reverse launch packs a nice punch and the pacing through the ride is fantastic.
Second ride was second row from the back and you feel the reverse twist a heap more and I can see myself enjoying the back more.
They are cycling both trains and the output is pretty impressive, if you're close by its pretty much a walk on. They are checking annual passes at the ride entrance.
Love it.

That explains what this email was last Friday, recieved it at 3:30pm and when I tried to sign up at 4 there were no spots left. Shame, as it's my day off!
-
I'd say the Mine Ride and Bermuda triangle would be my two main picks.
Having said that Dreamworld is going to feel so quiet without the ToT and wipeout.I also miss the Koala Country Puppet Show, fond memories of escaping the summer heat and relaxing in the aircon. I watch the video of it sometimes and the songs stay in my head all day.

No they sold me chips and and the sign out the front said KFC, implying they sold Fried Chicken.
For anyone wondering about the story, I then got a burrito from the complex next door and had a good night.
Indooroopilly? Had that happen to me a few times, KFC runs out of chicken so head to Guzman next door haha.

Maybe it isn’t random and some of the yellow is staying 🤫
Makes sense, especially if they are going with the Goldcoaster name. Yellow for sand, blue for water. Theming based on the ocean?

I spoke to this guy on the Giant Drop a few years ago, if I can recall correctly he lives close by and heads there after work. Funnily enough he was wearing the same hi-vis/shorts combo, was super enthusiastic and nice. Good on him!

After waiting it out for 2 hours, at 4:45 I managed to get on. Somber moment, I remember the day it opened, so glad I got one more ride. Fingers crossed it lasts another day.

Operator says it looks like there's little chance of it running today and tomorrow isn't looking decent either. The few tests it's done it looks like it's reaching as high as it used to back when it opened. Seems like one test run every 15 mins or so at the moment

Can see it being a great addition. Recently went to Waterbom in Bali, and the few towers that had 4+ slides kept my attention for so long.
Go on one, oh I wonder what the other ones are like, an hour later and you've finally experienced them all. It draws you in and keeps you coming back. I'm looking forward to them!

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere, however the cart and track are certainly not staying the colour in the render.
That's good to know, was dissapointed when I seen the yellow as it matches to closey to The Hotwheels Sidewinder. Wonder what it's going to be?

After my fourth and final ride for the day, sitting in rows 2 on the bottom and 4/5/6 on top, aim for the middle (2/5) the bottom middle by far was my favourite as you don't see the edge or top of the screens. Have fun all 😊😊😊

Awesome to hear,
I'm heading down to the park tomorrow so I am really looking forward to giving the ride a shot
Seen quite a few journalists here, guessing once it hits the news station tonight the park will be busy. Getting quite the traction on social media as well. Seems like it has good throughput and will be a great crowd soaker. Welcome addition in my opinion

How long has the wait been for the ride today guys?
I presume that since Rob has been on the ride twice suggests to me there probably isn't a big lineup?
Quiet today, been on it three times, hit up every other ride once and tower of terror 6 times, haven't waited more than one train on any ride.

In regards to the ride as a whole, how is it? And by this I mean the experience in the queue, the before and after, pre show, etc?
Great theming, pre show a little long which after the second viewing is a bit much but at least there's aircon..
-
Really enjoyed it, sat on the top gondalas right on the edge. I'm thinking the middle bottem will make for an even better ride so going to attempt to get those seats.

Well seeing as you guys were 100% spot on with the Wipeout this is sad to see.
Any idea the time frame? Even though it's super unreliable there's a lot of nostalgia there. Rode it a few hundred times over the years with my dad before he passed.
Was wondering how soon I should make the trip to ride it before its gone. -

DC Rivals single rider seems to be really quiet early in the day. But it seems that once people have had a ride, the couples/groups with the "I'm never riding that again" guests split up and the single rider line grows.
From my limited observations at least.
Also from my experience the guests realise the single rider queue is much quicker and in turn head down there as a group or couple, amount of times I've seen people complain because they can't sit next to each other is uncountable.

Dreamworld and White Water World were busier today than when we went first weekend of the summer school holidays. It was good to see the car park so full especially for a Monday. Much happier vibe too, great day all round.
-
Hopefully they have fixed the effects and it was just a soft reopening. Still states it's down for maintenance on the website so one can hope. Can't wait to ride it again though.
-
Hopefully WWF opens this time, two big attractions that absorb a lot of the crowd being down mid commonwealth games and school holidays isn't good. Staying away from the parks for the next few weeks lol.

Haven't been in a while, how long has it been since they removed the structure that ran next to the final drop? Looks a heap different.
