Lolman - what do you mean you can't wear thongs? Of course you can, though most people take them off to avoid losing them in the water.

Iwerks - they don't have a top notch coaster, so it wouldn't be 'another' one

Although not a full circuit coaster, TOT is pretty top notch for an Australian park.

Lol my Big 8 Thrill Rides T shirt is now obsolete because of the tail spin. looks like I have to buy a new Big 9 Thrill rides shirt.

[Jobe]

Agree with you 100% Iwerks. TOT is an excellent attraction, a unique roller coaster and a world class attraction, IMHO. Although it doesn't run to its full speed potential, it deserves this status.

So that the fascinating (and totally not done-to-death) "Is TOT a coaster?" debate can continue, I've split it off into its own topic:

After Riding the new Wipeout it is way more smooth than i remember but the program they are using does stop... start.... stop again... then start.... overall it was really good and i forgot how fun it was

[themagician]

I just drove past WWW and plenty of work happening. There is a crane on site, which is currently lifting the supports into place. Some of the taller ones are in position. It looks like the slide could past the looping section of BRO. It appears that all of the slide parts are now at the park. The slide features purple and yellow parts.

i hope they put their passes on sale when both of these rides are ready

[Brad2912]

So you want them to spend money to open new attractions and then drop their prices??

They are already dirt cheap!

[bladex]

their $99 now but they could be a little cheaper. plus would be a great promo for the new rides

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

You're joking right?

[Gary86]

They are very cheap no need to lower the prices. I'll get one in November that should go to November next year. $99 for a whole years entry + Skypoint is a fantastic deal considering it is about $90 for 1 day!

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

I have noticed on the Dreamworld website in the maintenance section, Wipeout will not be open until 1pm tomorrow. I wonder why?

[bladex]

You're joking right?

actually...i am i can get them for $80 (pensioner )

[lolman123]

its cheaper than the village road show passes if your bying for children.

[rappa]

They're all crazy cheap. Can't believe how little people now EXPECT to pay to get in.

No wonder we can't have big ass attractions or ultra extravagant fright nights etc.

[iwerks]

I think the price of passes will eventually go up - it's a bit like where Disneyland was at in the late seventies and early eighties.

I have noticed on the Dreamworld website in the maintenance section, Wipeout will not be open until 1pm tomorrow. I wonder why?

Maybe they're doing filming for a new advertisement?

[J_De Dreamworld]

I agree AlexB they would need to film a new add to advertise the new and improved wipeout!

They can't afford to unless the VIP passes go up too. The way they operate is to get you through the gates then spending when you're at the parks. If the price for a pass is considerably higher than that of a VIP pass they wouldn't get anyone through the gates.

Seaplanes as a theme confirmed in an email from Dreamworld:

Get ready to be WipedOut!

We are excited to announce one of our favourite rides, The Wipeout, has just reopened!

But wait there's more! Don't miss out on all the fun this September as we are also launching our new BIG9 Thrill Ride, Tail Spin. You'll be reaching heights of 22 meters, where you can create your own thrill by spinning as much or least as you like!

And we will also see the arrival of a new water slide to WhiteWater World at Dreamworld. The Triple Vortex, the hottest high capacity tubing ride on the planet! Plus there's much, much more coming this September to Dreamworld.

Be sure to grab your Unlimited World Pass online from $79.99* so you can visit as many times as you like until 26th June 2015.

-----------------------------------

Get ready to spin into action as Dreamworld's Big 8 Thrill Rides will soon be joined by a Big 9 Thrill Ride arriving this September.

On board the Tail Spin, you'll strap yourself in to one of the twelve mini-aeroplanes as you wait for your nerve shattering flight to begin.

--------------------------------------------

From the website:

Ride under construction – due to launch in September 2014

Prepare yourself for a takeoff like you’ve never experienced. On board the Tail Spin, you’ll strap yourself in to one of the twelve mini-aeroplanes as you wait for your nerve shattering flight to begin.

You’ll soar to a whopping 72 feet, giving you a birds eye view of Ocean Parade. Your plane will then start to whip through the air faster and faster. Grab the controls and let the air tricks begin. Will you take the scenic flight? Or push the limits with a series of heart-racing spins?

If someone heads to WWW could they please get some photos of the current progress of Triple Vortex.
