  1. If you say the GD is not scary you have to be going to the park daily and riding it daily! I have had over 50 GD falls within the past year and it still gives me the creaps. Tower Of Terror is my kind of beast though. Nothing's much sweater than seeing your hilarious sleeping photo on the monitors at the exit while everyone else's faces are like they're about change the colour of their underwear, permantly.
  2. I had the same idea! Good minds think alike huh?! Unfortunately though I'd be at dreamworld today except for thr fact that i can't find my season pass, or my wallet for that matter. Maybe this Sunday if it turns up..........
  3. That is pretty good........ But I think something that you can really say aloud would be good...... Fusion i thought would be a good one. I hope some of you have been to Infinity on the Gold Coast, where you go through mentally disorientating mazes. I think a good one would be an enclosed mirrored queue line with small path lights on the bottom of the ground and non-toxic smoke machines like the ones used on the Tomb Raider. So recap, long winding mirrored coated tunnels which give that never-ending "infinity" feel, add smoke machines here and there which block out parts of the queue line so people think that the queue line is short and incase people get lost have small lights in the ground, similar to the Tower of Terror queue line.
  4. Hey that's cool! Does anyone have photos like that of the Dreamworld Tower? Oh boy would that be hard to get cameras into! If you don't know what I meant, during every Big Brother season they take a broadcast quality vidoe camera to the top of the tower to shoot half and hours worth footage of fireworks!
  5. Hey go to that same link that i posted before, even more photos of school tycoon!
  6. But it doesn't start with C! Didn't you watch Sesame Street when you were young! Got delighful news aswell. I have now got my expensive FujiFilm Digital Camera and will be going to DW on monday. HOORAHH!
  7. I actually think that "IF" they were going to revamp the Thunderbolt instead of demolish it, they should've rethemed it to "the screech of revengene", can you hold on? Just read my last post and laugh...... or just keep post, yeah actually just keep posting....
  8. Let's think about it, Tower Of Terror is based around an abandoned shaft which is an escape route from the melting and toxicated world, which is in the middle of a old classic style town where you get your photo taken with old western-style "folkel". So i'm guessing if it's near Ocean Parade it will probably be based around swinging monkeys and that the gorillas are threatening the species of monkeys (the ones with the red butts, or they baboons? meh...) so you swing around until the baboons go away!?!?!?!?! Did you get that?
  9. Sorry to break the humour in this thread but the name has already been chosen and only administration know, NOT EVEN I KNOW :confused: But i'll see this weekend if i can squeeze it out of Sean or someone.
  10. Wow it does certianly look.... errr..... small? Even so it looks to be very cool indeed. PS: does it come with neons attached?
  11. Great because I wouldn't mind getting some footage of the TOT running at night.....
  12. Dreamworld is just doing the right thing, they're Dreamworld's future customers and if they have happy memories now, they will most definitely come back later and spend hundreds more dollars
  13. so what your saying isn't making enemies? Whoa? I really don't care who likes me here, but hopefully I have a decent reputation. It's a forum and it's for discussion, live with it.
  14. dag nam it........ oh well at least i live in another state......
  15. No actually thank you willsy for pointing that out and by the way, i wouldn't sink that low! Everybody in Dreamworld who works there knows about the thing, so it's common talk among staff. Dreamworld also isn't trying hide it really. Staff haven't been told to really hide it, but to keep it low about future rides. It's not job-threatening the Gyro Swing is definitely coming.... I mean did we know about the Big Dipper when it was moving? Need I say anymore?
  16. haha, I think? And the loops are currently causing much confusion with employees in the park. Not even the admin knew! But the latest release given to employees was that the train was being put onto the single remaining bit of track left and placed somewhere in the park as memorabilia. But that is all anyone knows.
  17. Well dreamworld have now released some official photos etc. plus information about the launch of Farmyard Friends at this link, all you have to do is click on the Farmyard friends link! http://dreamworld.com.au/dw/dreamweb.nsf Enjoy!? :confused: PS: i tried to get the exact link but the type of scripting the Dreamworld website uses doesn't allow this! :confused:
  18. Okay, I think it's time to settle this once and for all. 1)There is a Gyro Swing coming either before or on boxing day 2)It is going behind the roundabout, next to the sandwhich bar NOT NEXT TO THE WIPEOUT! There is a 20 metre gap or so between the Wipeout and the roundabout, with a sandwhich bar and grass area inbetween, so get it right folks okies? 3)It is made by Ride Trade, NOT INTAMIN, while they are the same company, the RIDE TRADE division produces the Gyro Swing model. 4)Tony Braxton-Smith has not yet resigned but is definitely going to over the next 2 months unless pursuaded other-wise to stay somehow. Now before you question me, i know a good half of ride-ops very well and know other administrators etc. in the park who will prefer to remain nameless, or at least i think they would want to anyway!? Oh by the way, the Tower Of Terror went into service today in preperation for Fright Night in April 16, RR is back in action and is doing very well in regards to probably the only smooth Vekoma in the world (okay, other than rock-n-rollercoaster), the Cyclone is doing well and the Thunderbolt is fully GUTTED! ABSOLUTELY GUTTED! Even the track in the station is gone, and it is quite surprising to find how deep the station is, dare i say 2 and a half metres deep before you come to where you stand! All there is left is an unusually long bit of track, a couple of carraiges next to Tiger Island viewable from the Vortex disabled ramp, and the loops have also been gutted, so there is only big concrete slabs in the ground and THAT'S IT MAN! Cya soon guys!
  19. Just wondering i guess Richo.
  20. As far as i remember they have lap bar restraints, that is, very tight "cut off circulation to increase force of ride" lap bar restraints. If my memory serves well, they are very round indeed.
  21. Willsy, settle old son! Does anyone know Tony personally at all? I have been trying to get into contact with him but he is away on sundays which is usually the day I go!
