Press Release Sea World goes Spooky this October
Im Hungry replied to Parkz News's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yeah I did end up going last night. I didn't purchase any of the special event foods and drinks, but they look super tasty. There were food outlets and trucks everywhere in the food court so it was hard to choose what to eat between all of them. I ended up only getting me a BBQ cheese and bacon burger or whatever it's called. -
Press Release Sea World goes Spooky this October

Honestly the wettest night ever thanks to the storm. Lightning struck next to the Sea Jellies building tonight too. -
With a new iPhone on the way, hopefully this is the last Android quality photo you'll see from me... The west side of drop:

The train without the spinning carriage remains present on the track. The train with the spinning carriage is still nowhere to be seen. I assume once Dreamworld start testing the ride themselves, we'll see the train with the spinning carriage. And given that from sometime this week or next week testing will rapidly increase and be more frequent, perhaps we may even see the spinner slither on track for some high-capacity two-train operations soon after.

Does anyone know how long ago motocoaster's test seat was installed?

Superman's second train was active during Winter holidays.

They were testing the MCBR today. Train came to a full stop on the MCBR and around 2 mins later the train slithered out. Must I say that when the train left the MCBR, (although not surprising) it travelled concerningly slow - so slow it had the potential to valley anytime and anywhere throughout the second half of the course. Also, a few staff members came forth and stated Taipan will undergo more frequent test runs next week. I believe the reason for that is to start training the operations team whilst also familiarising them with its operations. Another point to keep in mind is the wheels begin to wear along the track, thus allowing the train to navigate along the track more quickly (I think). The opening crew have also been internally announced, so a congrats to those who got a position.

Are we starting to see the decline of VRTP?

7News dropped into Dreamworld today too. Possibly for the same reason. -
Very little progress (from what I've seen beside the launch track of Superman) made on Rivals' second train. There appears to be a few carriages (if they even belong to Rivals) wrapped in some kind of black plastic wrap. They've been sitting like that for months now.

The queue is coming along quite nicely. Does anyone know if they have or haven't installed any coloured/uncoloured floodlights along the track? It would be sweet to see it light up at night... And on the topic of lights: With the current lights installed along the ride entry and exit, I'd imagine when it comes to Dreamworld's night events that it'll be quite dark in those areas. Each light pole seems to be quite far from the next.

Ah I see. Yes, the nest resides in the framework on the underside of the track. Just pointed it out coz the bird has to fly back and forth between cycles. Hope when the chicks hatch neither of them get smashed by the train...

Bear in mind, the next Movie World attraction was aiming for a 2023 opening. The announcement should've been at the end of this year but may now be some time next year. I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement was pushed back in benefit of Sea World having the spotlight. -
Someone should move the birds nest in the top-middle of the non-inverting loop. The amount of times that bird keeps flying away and back from the nest every 5 minutes as soon as the train rumbles past...

If not done on the ground, perhaps they could hire an art firm like Balarinji or a First Nations Artist to cover the wall (or most of it) of Sky Voyager? Qantas have worked closely with Balarinji numerous times for its "Flying Art" series and it would be nice to see someone use the large canvas at Dreamworld too...
