It seems Village has put up the price of a One Pass to $189 (they seemed to be $169 before today). I think they last put the price up in July, so it's a rise of $30 in 6 months.

The price was put up sometime last week I think... I guess it's coz the peak season is looming by with the opening of borders too

It Got stuck tonight, over 10 minutes at the top and now the "top" is stuck coming down it seems.

Edit: tops coming down very, very slowly now about 5 minutes after the gondola dropped

Brought out of maintenance too soon maybe 😳

It ended up reopening later tonight - if anyone was wondering.

[Sea World Spooky Nights]

Tonight's Happy Halloween at Dreamworld tells a contrastingly different story - it being one of the best nights I've ever had in a while...

[Steel Taipan Construction - Dreamworld Mack launched roller coaster]

Okay so the slot is reasonably justified.

All the other claims like "oh it was going to an Asian themepark blah blah", all that was just speculation?

[Steel Taipan Construction - Dreamworld Mack launched roller coaster]

Was anything ever confirmed? Or was it all pure imagination?

I struggle to find any sources that CONFIRM such claims, not just mention them without further context or info regarding it

Not too sure if it's been mentioned already, but these guys are the culprits:

Although this topic is pretty much irrelevant now, thought I'd share

[Dreamworld Maintenance 2021]

Hmmm... Perhaps it was a long gradual process.

Given I read that ride 73 times that day (my mate tried to break my current record of 83 but reached 82), I didn't really pay much attention to the seatbelts.

[Dreamworld Maintenance 2021]

East side of drop may need some work.

Yesterday, they were only operating with 5 seats because one of the seatbelts frayed (this would've happened during Happy Halloween the day before, coz they operated all 8 seats earlier that day with no issue whatsoever).

Seats 1 to 6 were fine, but seat 7 had the issue. And since you have to balance out the ride, it left seats 1, 7 and 8 unavailable.

Does anyone know what the new boats will look like yet? In my opinion I reckon its pretty stupid their putting individual lap bars on it, as there was nothing wrong with the single bars and they were much faster to secure with faster dispatch times.

Just like Roadrunner, each seat will have individual lap bars for the safety of every passenger onboard.

Take into account someone with large legs (a parent) sitting beside someone small (their child). You can imagine that when they close their lap bar, the parent will have theirs as tight as they can but the smaller passenger will have plenty of room to move around (posing a great risk anytime from dispatch to unload).

Also kids are going to adopt these rocks and transport them all over the park like a side quest mission.

Oh no 😰

Just wait till someone has the smart idea to start throwing those rocks at the ride itself... or even to the people who speed past.

Dreamworld have made good effort to ensure everyone gets in with ease:

DW are already implementing new procedures to help with the parking issue. They have opened up the access road to Blue Lagoon park as extra parking. They are reducing the entry road to one lane. They have traffic control directing traffic down the first row so cars have to use the back half of the carpark. This is to allow day guests to exit easily and then Halloween guests fill the front car parks first. They have also removed the fencing that was used to store ST track. 

Had a good view of the "overflow car park" next to the land the Big Brother House used to sit on from the Giant Drop today. Saw a handful of vehicles parked there throughout the day.

[Dreamworld Maintenance 2021]

In regards to the gondola for the west side of drop:

The gondola is looking slick. Brand new overhead canopy that's larger than the ones on the east side (which explains the reason behind extra arms coming off the flat yellow part between the seats and the catch car to hold it up). It has a black finish, but also has the words "Giant Drop" meshed into it (is it there to cast a shadow on riders? who knows). Just like The Claw, it too has received newly replaced harnesses and seatbelts.

Why did you add a backwards spike to the launch?

The client requested this change in order to add an additional feature of three launches. There were also another ideas in place to create another launch sequence at the straight portion of the launch but we stuck to the launch as we got it on Blue Fire.

Interesting to hear there were other ideas for the launch. I wonder what they could've been (bunny hills on the launch)?

[Dreamworld suing engineer who certified fatal Thunder River Rapids ride]

It's essentially an out-of-control boat...

Once it dispatches, it has a mind of its own (with only water and little obstructions beneath the surface to create the rapids feature somewhat controlling the raft) until it comes to a conveyor belt or something.

Given I have never ridden a Rapids ride before, I'll have to make second thoughts whether I do essentially board one or not (I'll most likely board but we'll see).

Not guna lie, I think a ride like this would be a perfect replacement for AA One can dream! 

It sure would! Would love to see one here, but.......

An RMC single-rail coaster in the Gold Coast would fit either parks nicely.

Would love to see one in either blue circles, but who knows what'll happen.

One thing for sure, we probs won't be seeing a thrill ride be built on the island...

WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage

The tallest and longest single-rail coaster on the planet! New In 2022

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s 20^th coaster—the most at any theme park in the world—WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage will debut Summer 2022 as the tallest and longest single-rail coaster on the planet. Riders will fly single file through the sky over 3,300 feet of track, towering 13 stories and soaring at speeds up to 58 miles-per-hour.

 

 

WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage exemplifies the Super Hero’s traits of strength and speed—showcasing the legacy of WONDER WOMAN™ herself. As guests enter the ride queue, influenced by Greek architecture and featuring tropical landscaping, they will be immersed in the story of her life and how she obtained her super powers. Riders will join forces with WONDER WOMAN™ in the fight for truth, justice, and equality, to embark on an incredible journey of heroic feats, propelling through dives, banks, rolls, and turns designed to challenge the bravest of thrill seekers.

Located in the newly-themed DC UNIVERSE™ area of the park which also includes the popular BATMAN™ The Ride and several other DC themed rides, WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage will be part of an entire six-acre area remodel to also feature a new restaurant and retail location.

[Six Flags MM on the tease]

I'm ruling out Superman, given he already has a ride there.

I'm leaning more towards The Flash (as others are too) because of mainly the colour of track and supports, but personally I see Flash more generally suited to run as a single-rail coaster.

[Six Flags MM on the tease]

Super right?

I assume they've publicly announced and revealed that their Superman ride now operates forwards and backwards, perhap we'll see the landing of another superhero ride there too?
