Another look at the photograph area. The photos will be able to be viewed and purchased in the ride's main shop which they exit through.

18 changes of direction / banked turns are found on the course.

The track maintains a smooth, articulated feel throughout, as has become the norm for Intamin.

Boom lift access for maintenance will be needed so the landscaping will minimal but tasteful with some gardened areas around the course.

At this point the track is banked to over 60º. This is also where on-ride photos will be taken from. Trains will pass from left to right, with the photo roughly from this angle.

The ride was designed to remain low to the ground throughout to heighten the feeling of speed along the course.

A close look at the gradual banking out of the launch into the course.

With a capacity of close to 750 riders per hour, it'll be Dreamworld's most efficient thrill ride.

The launch of the coaster leads into the highest point on the track. Like most roller coasters, once it has reached this point it will be able to complete the remainder of course relying on gravity alone, meaning slightly slower launches won't be a problem.

With the drought conditions in South East Queensland, as with much of Australia, any rainfall is valuable and rainwater tanks are becoming an important part of any development.

Elements of the racing theme are clear, such as with the checkered flags, with much more yet to come.

Naturally, with some weeks to go before opening, the landscaping of the area is far from completed.

Looking out from the launch into the course, showing the complex array of piping that converts the stored energy of the compressed fluid in the hydraulics into rotational energy to drive the trains forward.

In the event of a misfire of the launch system, the wheels are designed to act as the braking system. The wheels will lock to bring the train to a safe stop back in the station. A UPS system is utilised to ensure that a power outage midway through will not interrupt the launch procedure.

In addition to biodegradable oil, a containment system has been installed along the launch track that will ensure that leaks will flow into this conduit for safe handling of any major or minor spills.

The trains will be launched right out of the station into the ride's course.

Because of the huge distances the pressurised oil must travel and the likeliness for leaks is typical for hydraulic systems, Dreamworld is using a biodegradable oil in the hydraulic systems.

by Richard Wilson, 14 years ago

There are hundreds of metres of piping to transport the pressurised oil to the 48 drive wheels found on the launch track.
