Im Hungry

How not to soft open... Hope we see it open later today so angry passholders don't leave Dreamworld for nothing.

On the topic of the efficient loading procedures, worth to mention, there is a new device used whilst checking seatbelts. A small red device with the purpose of which follows somewhere along the lines to "used to verify to the control booth/system that the rider's seatbelt has been checked" - eliminating the check rider as one who may have accidentally done up there own seatbelt before the ride attendants got to them. Also, notice the little green lights in the location they place the red whistle-like object that turn green once checked.

After being one of two riders to be the first ever spinning seat riders for the day/soft opening, I was quite pleasantly surprised with the entire ride experience. First launch is nice and delicate, gently rolling our way up and back down that first element. Only to be interrupted by a killer second launch. Literally everyone on our cycle had our hands up (including us on the spinner) and was immediately jerked forward during the second launch. Once we reached that tail spike, we were immediately awkwardly jerked forward and sideways out of the seats, only to be pinned back by the third and final launch. After snapping the ride photos and gracefully soaring up the wave turn (I think it's called), we made it to the loop. Great hangtime there! The exit of the loop was insane, immediately thrown sidewards yet again as we sped towards the mcbr (mind you, our riders were only tossed within their seats coz our hands were up). Us on the spinner weren't spinning too much (but trust me, as soon as I went on Tailwhip ALONE - the whole experience changed drastically). There are times when you feel the brakes initiate and there are other times when it doesn't. It's very noticable. On exit out of the mcbr, we were treated to a slight thrill of air time, only to be greeted by yet another throw-out-of-your-seat experience with the first of the two inversions on the horseshoe. The second wasn't as bad, but still pretty damn sick! The small tingle of airtime greatly complemented the ride experience, a sort of juxtaposition to what was to come next - calm before the storm sort of thing. That heartline roll is violent but in a great way. Every single rider (no matter what seat - including the spinner) is thrown out of their seats yet again one last time. The major thing that I expected, but very much caught me by surprise. That roll is I N T E N S E. Overall, a great investment for the park. Despite not too many Annual Passholders present, this ride is sure to be a major hit at Dreamworld. Looking forward to a bright future at Dreamworld and great crowd numbers return. Highly recommend this ride. A perfect 10/10. Yes it's a triple launch, but that's what makes this AMAZING.

A rule for those who wish to ride Tailwhip seats SOLO, you are required to purchase BOTH seats for the session...

I have difficulties viewing these two videos. Anyone able to rectify the issue?

I remember seeing a 120kg weight limit a while back now...

Given Tailwhip seats aren't available for purchase online for tomorrow, I assume tomorrow we'll see walk-ins available.

Dreamworld offer both the online and printable maps for viewing on their website https://www.dreamworld.com.au/park-information/park-map/ Steel Taipan has been added to the map too Steel Taipan is roughly done. We have a violent heartline roll (red), that transitions into a jarring whiplash (blue) moment before turning back into the final brakes. They getting a bit carried away by the "Strike" motif haha.

From what I know, the below are attending the Launch night: - Dreamworld executives - Staff who were featured in the Steel Taipan safety video But the following could also be present: - Media - Distinguished guests/Important public figures (Premier, Mayor etc.)

Love how the entire ride (other than the launch) is essentially visible from the queue line

We still have plenty of reservations available for the 15th only 10 days away... Available Times 11:30 AM 2 Spots Left 12:30 PM 6 Spots Left 01:30 PM 5 Spots Left 02:30 PM 6 Spots Left 03:30 PM 6 Spots Left

Do I see more water features to get us wet?

I already have. Plus, love the spelling

There are lights lining some buildings, but I didn't pay much attention to it

It appears all guests who've booked their Spinning Seat experience online must do the following to redeem their experience: I do wonder whether walk-ins will be available for guests. And if so, I assume they'd make their purchase at Fairytale Treasures - given that's where you collect the wristband in the first place?

Was busy reading the BD page on LPS website but couldn't get over what's underlined:

The 3D map is making a return 😭

A couple of staff members I'm in contact with have mentioned there were some good few airtime moments they experienced when riding twice yesterday...

Real keen for the opening of Steel Taipan. Who's riding the spinning seat (I will)?

The 3D map is no more https://www.dreamworld.com.au/media/lesp54ey/website-printable-map.pdf

Bottom image (after having 4 - 6 schools flood the Gotham outlet and cause a fuss) Dreamworld's website has been given a refresh. Got insane VRTP vibes from it - only this time I prefer the Dreamworld website more. (Check out https://www.dreamworld.com.au/rides-attractions/dreamworld/thrill-rides/steel-taipan/) I'm amazed at the fact that the entire site (incl. every single page) got overhauled. Hell. Even the maintenance page looks nice.

What's the bet we'll see an opening date announced this Friday, given Dreamworld love to announce things on Fridays?

From BigDatr: Making Memories - 15 sec.mp4 Note, there are more "Making Memories" advertisements out there, but the 30+ sec version is still yet to be added to the BigDatr website (I believe it's been shared elsewhere on other platforms already). Also, new 3 Day Pass deal?

Regarding the seat numbers, do you mean the "1.1, 1.2, 1.3... -> 5.4, 6.1, 6.2"? Or something else?

Staff refer to the two trains as Batman and Joker. One train has a Batman sticker on the zero car (hard to see, but it's there). The second train has a Joker sticker, but I am yet to see that. Paying close attention to the red circles, a Batman sticker is present: (Hope you don't mind me using you image @Slick Paying close attention to the red circle, you see the remnants of the Joker sticker:
