themagician 5,373 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Has buzzsaw reopened yet? The website says it reopened a couple days ago, but still lists the dates (which usually means it hasn’t reopened) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gavinfulikes 129 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 BuzzSaw was operating fine on Monday, it’s just that the camera wasn’t working in the morning but they later got that issue fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

themagician 5,373 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I’m surprised to see that BuzzSaw isn’t closed all year for construction. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukevl 31 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I think it makes sense to move most maintenance to Feb as borders are likely to still have an impact on tourism, but boy I think I will skip the park in Feb with all that maintenance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gavinfulikes 129 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Does anyone know why The Giant Drop is the only ride without a scheduled maintenance date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ride is designed to fall so if it breaks from lack of maintenance it still operates as intended. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That may be the case but it’s still got to be checked. And what about everything else’s? Harnesses, safety systems, etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m assuming since there’s 2 giant drops they would just alternate maintenance by having one in operation. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Than again, they should have two sides operating during a busy summer period. Covid means they need a four seat gap yet they only have one side operating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know there was an element of sarcasm here, but for the sakes of anyone taking this seriously, while GD will always 'failsafe', the rope itself requires very careful inspection and attention. Cable snaps on Intamin Giant Drop models are well documented, both in the US and AUS from my memory - and has literally cost people an arm and a leg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gavinfulikes 129 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 BuzzSaw is under maintenance once again after around two and a bit weeks of operation. It was scheduled to reopen on the 10th, 11th and 12th and is now pushed back to the 26th. Any speculations on why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrStroganoff 14 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) Just drove past dreamworld and there's a cherry picker up on Buzzsaw's brakes. Not sure how long that's been there. Edited January 14 by Gazza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 5,373 Posted Saturday at 04:46 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:46 AM The arms are back in place on Pandamonium but the reopening date has been pushed back a few days 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2912 3,703 Posted Sunday at 04:31 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:31 AM At first I thought they’d changed the actual ride vehicle, then realised they just haven’t attached any of the theming to it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2912 3,703 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Probably worth a mention that WWW moves into "'seasonal" mode next week. After Australia Day (Tuesday) the park then moves to only Fri-Sun operation. Fri 11-4 Sat/Sun 10-5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
