Just wondering, but no one here knows what the replacement for AA will be right?

Looks like it will have a head chopper effect on the tunnel which is new for dreamworld since i'm pretty sure they've never had a head chopper before on a roller coaster. Excited to see if it will be good.
Could you say Buzzsaw's station is a bit of a head chopper too?

The second train still remains dismantled next to the Superman launch track...

For a ride that seats so many people, and takes so long to check harness and seating, the cycle is way too short.
Almost like Doomsday... except what more could that ride do?

Hmm... I usually tend to have a rough experience on rivals whenever it's a light train (when there's empty seats here and there) and I'm front or back seat... Especially at the helix.
More logically (I think) however, maybe the rails were wet (coz it did rain lightly today) and caused some of the wheels to lose traction and essentially skid its way around the layout (similar idea as to going to a playground and turning the spinning cogs or hopeless boat wheel as fast as you can then it starts to vibrate and shake uncontrollably causing it to lose speed).

Didn't take long for the walls to go brown... Maybe they can put some shells on it and decorate it like a sand castle?

Hope no one ventured off down there...

After a very nice visit to Movieworld today, must I say, it was probably the best visit I've had so far. Entertainment everywhere. Movie magic all over Main Street...
The rides were sooo good too, with Rivals having low physical and Virtual Queue times (with a few 30 mins waits). Superman was a walk-on in the morning while also running 2 trains. Green Lantern was a walk-on and dead all day with 4 carriages on-track (with a 5th cling wrapped and duct taped down to the storage/maintenance track 🤨). Scooby... well you had better chances getting on by using Virtual Queue (10 mins VQ wait time most of the day). Doomsday was closed in the morning then opened later on with minimal physical and Virtual Queue waiting times.
So yeah... Nice day indeed.

No differences made to Rivals track over this years maintenance period. The experience is all the same. Smoother than AA ever was at least...

After coming across this article 2 days ago I thought I should share it with you guys on here.
Maybe you've read it already or maybe you already know the relevant information but anyways...
https://www.ausleisure.com.au/news/dreamworld-announced-topping-off-of-steel-taipan-rollercoaster/
Key takeaways from the article:
- Late 2021 opening once electrical works, load station building, landscaping and commissioning have been completed.
- Rollercoaster train set to see Australian shores in early July, with installation on the ride's track planned for early August.
- "Fresh theme park attractions are important to the Gold Coast's visitor economy"
It's exciting to see how quickly the ride is coming along with the next two months creeping with theming, landscaping and load station building works due to be completed, as well as the welcoming of the trains and its spinner. Almost entering the second half of the year, late 2021 isn't too far away now...

True that, was meaning to say "same ride manufacturer". Excuse the small mistake haha
-
Seeing that Sledgehammer is the same ride model, I assume it as possible for something like this to happen at Luna Park Sydney? Should be fun... 😵

Ah nice! Yeah nah I didn't know coz that was my first time seeing them in use haha. Unless they are new idrk...
-
A minor change, but Superman Escape has new Virtual Queue/Fast Track cards. No cardboard cards were present. Instead, plastic cards are in use.

Lex Luthor and his vehicle have returned to the interactive DC Super-Villains Unleashed precinct... The white card connected via chain used for scanning at interactive exhibits still remains attached.

Noah's got some great drone footage of some of the coasters here (particularly Leviathan). He sometimes drops in to the parks too. Such a shame he thought Sky Voyager was closed because he didn't wait 15 minutes for it...

They should probably give the garden a bit of a tidy up so you can actually see all the wonderful ‘theming’
Also, how long has the yellow/mustard villain that was above the archway been gone for?
It's been gone for a couple of weeks now... It was removed sometime when Rivals entered its annual maintenance period.

At first glance, I thought it was the background of a cold winter's night

It would've been nice if they ended the show on a positive outlook into the future of our Australian parks. For example, the new upcoming attractions and seasonal events from both VRTP and Dreamworld... Instead of ending it on Natalie Barr contemplating her life after riding a rollercoaster and Grant Denyer talking about UFOs.

Just had a quick read and saw myself in both of the photographs on Doomsday Destroyer. Scared me a bit haha 😅

That Fully6 incident has me fuming as well. I mean I have soooooo many questions to ask, but the fact that the mother said it "wasn't an accident" is really triggering. Hopefully Dreamworld win this lawsuit or that the case had already been dismissed.
Such a shame there was no mention of Green Lantern - it was almost like VRTP (particularly Movie World) was in favour and crowned the "hero" of this episode if that makes any sense (I can't really explain it).

A small article essentially advertising the Sunday special.

How exciting! Thanks for sharing @Coasterlife
The trains shouldn't be too far off now (hopefully), and I assume the reverse twisted half pipe will be installed last?
Overall this coaster is turning out pretty neat so it'll be a treat when the ride finally opens to the public in 3 - 6 months (if all goes ahead pretty ssssmoothly)

I swear I've seen that logo before... Perhaps it was from that video of the trains leaving the Mack factory in Germany?
