Halfway down Page 170 of the DC Rivals thread has mentions of this bizarre red jig. Still no clear answer for what it's purpose is - only thoughts and assumptions.

That 5% discount makes a Locals Annual Pass at Dreamworld $113.05... Bargain

Wait... When did Doomsday reopen??
-
Park-wide blackout happened today. ALL rides and I assume most outlets were closed during this period. In the end they managed to get most of the rides back up and running again today before close.

Gaining nothing for whenever I drop in to the Gold Coaster, I try my best to select, queue and play songs that bring back memories from that time period. Unfortunately, those very songs play throughout the entire area of Ocean Parade via themepark speakers...

Officially announced
The introduction of a greater array of f&b options to accompany the event is great
There are also 2 night events coinciding with the Winterfest, and a VIP option for $89pp
All this announced on the day my Dreamworld pass expires... Time to buy a new one now I guess.

Shouldn't be too much now.
After they finish the transition out of the airtime hill within the loop, all they'll need to do is the heartline roll and the turn into the brake run (then do the reverse twisted half pipe).

Does anyone know when the new trains for Roadrunner are coming in?

Just a random thought about Steel Taipan's trains...
Notice the section of the spinning seat (circled in red). Will that small gap be removed for safety purposes in loading and unloading?
What I mean by that is this:
At the current state of the carriage that holds the spinning seat, the train will have a small gap between the station platform and the carriage itself creating a very minor risk of a rider tripping and/or falling over by getting their foot caught within the said gap. Are there any plans for Dreamworld to eliminate this small gap between the platform because other Mack installations (such as DC Rivals and Helix) don't have gaps between their trains and the platform (they are a snug fit).
I understand that since this is a new feature for Mack trains, I guess there's room for error or just minor details that could be improved where possible.

That was a very short maintenance period. If it's true, I look forward to riding rivals soon.

So we have yet another article about Thunder River Rapids... A minor one tho.

Just checked and Wet’n’Wild also posted a tease about tomorrows announcement. https://www.instagram.com/p/COznY11rwJo/?igshid=1dlij3tgt11pe.
It seems to be the shadow/reflection of a new slide tower on the surface of the water. It’s definitely very intriguing.
Australia's "tallest waterslide"... Seems exciting

I can't read this article due to the paywall but I assume it has something to do with the new waterslide?

Does this special news come with the delaying of Leviathan and Trident? I guess we have to wait and sea...

They've completed the first twisted horseshoe roll. When viewed in chronological order, it will be the second of the two.

On second glance, expect that one support pole to still be laying there after all this 💀
Note: The pole I'm referring to is circled in red. Where it will most likely be positioned is in blue.

In some ways yes. And idk why but I lowkey preferred seeing it without its track pieces put together - especially with that loop - looks odd seeing it complete for me. 🤔
Oh well, won't take long before the theming takes shape and therefore starts to look harmonious with the rest of that area.
And it'll be nice going on a thrilling non-concussion coaster at Dreamworld for once 😵

Nice to see the presence of a building being constructed near Buzzsaw. Wonder if it'll form the station or maintenance bay.

After a close analysis of the video showing Dreamworld's trains in preparation for shipment from Germany, it appears that there will only be ONE train with the spinner. There are two trains shown in the video - the front row of cars appearing in the video are assumed to all fit 1 train (with a complete set of 20 seats), whereas the second row will fit only 18 thanks to the spinner.

So we thinking the tunnel will contain the launch track?
5 hours ago, mssveattck said:Judging by the images, I believe the tunnel will be the section of track before the loop with another smaller passthrough at the bottom of exit from the block brake.
Hopefully the below image from the all important Page 21 gives you (@Brad2912) an idea where the tunnel theming will be... Like what Mr Greg Yong stated in the 7 News clip, "the train will come out of this loop and will be plunged into darkness, and then back out into the course of the track."

Looks like the same train shells as Helix and Icon are being used
Praying that it comes with lights 😭
14 minutes ago, Rabbit2014 said:Are we only getting one train now, the video and announcement from dreamworld only 1 train is on the way. Hope this is only a mistake
Judging by the photos on here, it seems like there's 5 standard carriages (1 extra for the spinner) READY to be shipped over as a whole train, and also appears to be the base of a couple more carriages just behind them. Maybe Dreamworld is getting two trains - it's just one's ready and the other isn't.
I personally haven't seen that video posted above yet so I'll take a more in-depth look when I can.
Is it confirmed that Steel Taipan will operate with 4 standard 1 spinner carriages (bringing the total to 5 cars like on other Blue Fire models) or 5 standard 1 spinner carriages (bringing the total to 6 cars like on Hypercoaster models)?

There is one shot toward the end that looks soo similar to the one from soarin, not complaining just interesting to point out (it’s the canyon rock formation with the balloons in soarin, exact same location in SV but has some people on the rocks ready to bungee off it looks like).
It seems that there are many segments of the "Experience USA" film that are featured on other Flying Theatres - especially FlyOver.
As mentioned before, @Gazza experienced a similar film like this at Mall of America.
https://www.flyover-america.com/
Just taking a look at this video playing on the website, there appears to be 4 (of the 5) shown in the preview that were also shown on Sky Voyager.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4715710/
Apparently the FULL version of the USA film goes on for 1hr 1min, but I haven't found any mediums on where we can view it other than on a Flying Theatre itself.
FlyOver America trailers:
60 sec
30 sec (it's most likely Dreamworld used this trailer for their advertising purposes of the "Experience USA" film)
It's clear to see that (as mentioned before) the film is licensed for use. I guess that implies other films can be accessed and broadcast onto our very own Sky Voyager (should Dreamworld wish to).

As dumb as this may sound, I simply wonder why this version of the pretty much Blue Fire layout features the long skinny supports that look as though they're not connected to anything nor have any use (like the intricate mess of metal chopsticks beneath the loop)... From other images I've seen of similar layouts, they appear to not be featured.
And another thought to add, why does this version feature a different support structure to hold up the loop compared to those on the other layouts? Would it be because of the speed Dreamworld's train will travel?
Sorry if the answer seems straight forward, I'm just blank atm.
Movie World Maintenance 2022

I understand that this has been added to their website around the last week or two but just thought I'd leave them here.
Movie World has added planned maintenance periods for the following rides in 2022:
