Thanks for those great pics of tornado, dreamworld rulz. It looks absoulutely huge from the highway!! Just one last question to finnish off. How accurate is that date that you posted up about the opening of Tornado that Dreamworld Rulz posted up? This is because I'm going to the Gold Coast in September and i might miss riding it. I think i'm going around the 10th to the 18th, and if your date is right well i might just be able to ride it. If anybody has any knowledge of the exact opening date of Tornado and can post it, it would be greatly appreciated. CoasterBoy8

It's not 100%. Usually when a ride opens in September it's usually the day the school hols start. Which is September 15th. (Here in Melbourne anyway)

Just two quick questions for mattcrombie: 1. Does the slide leading into the funnel do any fancy stuff(E.g. Sharp turns, like Pacific Spin in Soak City) or is it just a plain drop? 2. If there is fancy stuff, could you please describe it (Photos would be even better).
I know you didnt want people to answer this but I don't think they've started the lead-up yet. Only the funnel and the splash-down pool so far. I could be wrong but that's my impression...

Does anybody have any pics of the progression of Tornado and the tube leading into the funnel. I think I saw a post from mattcrombie saying that he went past wetnwild and was trying to get some pics. If anybody has any pics (including mattcrombie)could you please post them up - This would be greatly appreciated! Thanks CoasterBoy8

Yeh, I just had a flashback to when we were trying to get on the Jestreams last January and you had to squeeze past people holding the rafts for Sidewinders. The Cloverleaf thingys are like twice the size are they not? Why do they make the stairs so thin?

Those stairs dont look that thin, it looks like it would easy to get past people who are watching the the tornado. Dreamworld rulz the tornado has been voted the worlds best water slide so I think they know what they are doing and not just puting another flimsy fast ride in.

DW rulz, you could go ride Sidewinders, Terror Canyon 1 & 2, Black Hole, Bombora, Pipeline, Riptide, Cascade, Mammoth Falls, Calypso Beach (All the way around) or Whirlpool. They are all pretty long slides (Remember, some of the Extreme H20 slides are Australias longest). You could go ride them.... The thing with having a twisting and turning Tornado is the impact on througput. The thing can only have one raft in it, and can only do 4 people at a time, so it would have long lines, to have more twisting and turning like some of the american parks would increase the ride time, and therefore lines. Plus IMO all it does is delay you from getting to the fun part. I think it would be better if the twists and turns were at the end of the ride, because once the raft got out of the funnel it would be safe for another raft to go in.

The Tornado got voted that for it's thrills, not the length but if it only allowes 1 raft at a time than what was the point of adding just one Tornado? the other slides that have more than one get packed out as it is so you can only imagine what the line up for the Tornado will be like..

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH TORNADO!!?? Everyone on these forums has been focusing on Whitewater World, Movieworld's new S&S Space Shot and not-so illegal videos so much, that we have forgoten about Tornado. Has anybody been past Wet'nWild or have gone into the park lately? I was just want to see what they have done with the area around it - in other words, how have they themed Tornado. And also, Have the nearly finished the slide and the staircase? If any body has new pics of the ride or just wants to comment on my post, feal free to do do. :D CoasterBoy6
