After the bunny hill there is an enclosed helix,
This part of the slide is reasonably close to the wave pool which is behind it in this photo.
It is followed by - of all things - a bunny hill. This should be one of the more exciting elements of the slide.
The extensive motors required for pumping the huge amounts of water needed for these two slides.
The second drop is significantly tamer.
This is the first Rocket slide in the world to feature such a system.
The black boxes seen at regular intervals are the electromagnets that will launch the boats up the hills.
This slide will in fact feature a LIM powered launch system, not the conventional conveyor belt system that previous models have used. This will mean the launches will be quiet, smooth and efficient.
After the first drop riders aren't given a chance to take a breath thanks to a conveyor belt zipping riders straight back up and into a turn.
The drop is around 15 tall and has a drop angle of roughly 45ยบ.
The first drop on the Rocket slide is not for the faint-hearted.
The start of WhiteWater World's Tornado.
Thanks to its uphill sections it is also considerably longer than most conventional slides.
The slide will start midway up the tower, where immediately guests will be greeted by a big steep drop.
This slide is the next generation in water slides, utilising conveyors to create upward sections to mean the ride can feature more dips than conventional slides.
The Australian-first Rocket slide's structure is completed.
A mural based on the park's beach theme has been painted along the outside edge of this building.
Behind the entrance plaza is the main hub of the park. The building directly to the right is where Guest Relations and staff areas will be located.
Some 9,000 people turned out at Dreamworld to see The Wiggles pop in to celebrate their 15th birthday.
A plaza area is also being built out the front of the entrance.
