The old sign has just been tossed over behind the queue, but that's at least better than having it on full display.
And we check in at Motocoaster.
The decaying, old sign we showed in our last Dreamworld Parkz Update has been removed.
Between The Claw, the newly revamped Wipeout, Shockwave and with Tail Spin on its way, Ocean Parade is a world-class collection of thrill rides.
The Dreamworld Express in all its diesel glory. It doesn't quite have the same charm as the old cast iron steam engines.
Peeking through the fence we see the gondola support.
The circular tube in the background is the main support column. The end nearest us is the top of the column, which will house the motor, connected to the arm.
Behind this fence are the gondola support arms.
The 12 gondolas will attach here.
Behind Tail Spin parts sits slide components for Triple Vortex, WhiteWater World's forthcoming Tornado 12 slide.
The actual ride components have arrived on site. This is the main arm, with the 12 spinning gondolas attached to the angled joint at the left. The far right of the arm features counterweights to balance the rider load.
Vertical construction of the ride isn't far off.
The ride loads on this side and will feature its highest point roughly over the main path, between Wipeout and the 'Snack Attack' food outlet.
Interesting square gaps in the concrete will sport some theming elements.
With only around seven weeks until the ride's likely opening, work is progressing at a steady rate.
The concept art calls for a water effect and seaplane on this concete expanse.
There's room for some garden beds against the fence.
The fence going up here will separate the queue area (right) from the load area (left).
The mould for the central column's foundations has become a handy workbench while work focuses on concreting and theming.
The area around the central column will all be fenced off.
