Despite being in the middle of a particularly cold south-east Queensland winter, they created a very warm party atmosphere.
The usual rides were operating all night, though there's more than enough to do at Carnivale without entering a ride queue.
This New Orleans style brass band had the honour of performing in the dark for several hours. A bit of lighting surely wouldn't go astray.
Acrobats performing throughout the night.
Throughout the park there are sideshow acts performing throughout the night.
The whole atmosphere continuously changes down Main Street.

Main Street invites you in.
The way down.
Based on the area occupied, the new slide will be among the longest in the park.
A new slide means more pumping and water storage capacity is required. Here a new in-ground reservoir is being built.
Foundations come in all different shapes and sizes.
Fact: the bigger the concrete pylons, the more exciting the ride.
More foundations...
There's perhaps no more exciting part of a new attraction's construction than the "piles of dirt" stage.
Foundation work continues -- here is the groundwork for one of the slide's many support columns.
If you're wanting a shirt that literally says "Dreamworld has these rides", we'd advise holding off for a few months.
It's fair to say that the main load/unload of the new ride will sit in this large expanse to the left of the column. This area will soon be paved.
It's great that almost all the existing vegetation looks to be staying put.
