    The overreaction of some of you is sad

    If it's private, how would he be getting in? Not having a go at all, just wondering.

    There is no gate or anything stopping you from walking to there but i've spoken to some staff that work upstairs and they don't mind, It's not like were parking there.

    Yeah you might want to check that claim again that all track is complete. In the above photo there is clearly missing trackwork that still needs to be installed.

    There is plenty of work that needs completion yet as well- the building of the load/unload station, the completion of the floor near the station and the queue area, the installation of the launch tyres in several locations and other theming aspects. Thats just what we can see. I am sure there are various other systems that are not readily visible that have not yet even been touched.

    There is ample work yet on the coaster that still needs to come to fruition. Patience is the key- it will happen.

    However, at this point, the installation of trackwork has not yet been completed.

    Sorry that image was from the 9th of August. All the rest was from today. The all the track has all been installed but they are now installing the launch tires, Electrical ect.

    Hasn't Dec 26th been the expected opening date the whole time?

    I'm not sure? I don't think we really talked about it. Did we? At first i was expecting it to open in time for the start of the summer school holidays but it was only until i was told by the park that it's going to take 16 weeks of testing before it's open is when i changed my mind on that but yeah it might have. Not too sure?

    Might be hoping for too much here but I wonder if the BD will be done by the time this lockdown is over… at least, considering the fact that there’s no park visitors so perhaps it’s easier for construction to take place?

    It definitely will be done by then, They are already way ahead of schedule, Once Intamin arrive in the country (Apparently have) they will carry out 16 weeks of testing and then open the ride to the public, Expecting the potential opening date of December 26th.

    I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO. The reveal of the train (to the GP of course)...

    Very sorry for releasing such energy into this forum. Although the train looks good, those eyes... Just destroyed by the fact that they won't light up... But, fair call as to why they won't.

    Do we actually know it they will light up or not? I have not really had any word on it but i would hope that they did even though you would only likely see them lit up at night events.

    Do you think the neighbours are going to try and stop it from running or opening? 

    It's possible but i really don't see the neighbours prevailing, They chose to live there so if they have a problem they can move. Luna Park needs this coaster to boost visitation and give people something to look forward too, Something the park has been lacking for years.

    The Big Dipper will be ready by the time the park opens!

    Let's hope not! 😂 I think they hope to get all of big dipper fully assembled just before the 31st of August as that is when they hope to get Glenn St stairs back open, I feel that even if BD is ready to open earlier than predicted they might still wait till December until they open it to the public and give possible previews to Annual pass holders which would be a great offer for pass holders as stated in their website "Members will receive special offers that are not available to any one else like our Behind the Fun VIP Tour and the Luna Perks Fast Pass" I think if previews were to happen it would be really cool but only time can tell at this stage

    Coasterlife hasn’t the Friday pass holders night event already been canceled/delayed for a week thanks to the new COVID restrictions.

    Yes, The annual pass holders night is going to be next Friday instead, For those that are interested here is sledgehammers lighting package that flashed for the slightest second

    From today’s final visit before the Friday night opening, The lavender green white construction fence was removed and can now see cloud 9 from a better perspective, I got a close up on Boomerangs ride photo cam and more progress on Big Dipper, They have extended the Glenn street stairs closure to the 31st of August, nothing much to really see now since we are less than a week till reopening, I’ll get some pics on the annual pass holder event

    Had to upload via phone so no one has to download pics

    Here's a couple pics from today, Asphalt has been laid around all of Big Dippers concrete footings, Sledgehammer does have a lighting package only on the 4 supports and the Hair Raiser also received a new lighting package that is really cool like the Ferris wheel but i don't have pics of that just yet, Hopefully Sunday or Friday i can get something, What i think is Boomerangs ride photo camera was being installed today and the bug canopy is almost complete and displays the sledgehammer sign on it, And of course as posted earlier we now have more BD track installed
