The track heads up to a trim brake, which washes off a bit of excess speed. On other "Blue Fire" clones this section is used as a mid course block brake to allow additional trains to operate.
Out of the loop is a very hard right turn, which banks quite severely. At what will essentially be close to full speed, it's sure to thrill.
The first inversion is the loop, which stands at the end of the pathway leading to the ride. Let's hope the park makes something of this area, because it currently feels like you're walking down a back alley.

It certainly ensures the ride is visible from main street.
From the launch the train will travel up and over the highest point on this wide high banked turn.
Owing to the triple launch system, this coaster will use a shorter bank of LSM's compared to other Mack "Blue Fire" clones. Instead, the bank of LSM's will be used three times in each cycle, as the train passes forwards, backwards and forwards again.

The station looks like it will have a contemporary, reptilian inspired design, with these triangular features on one side.
This thing is used for transporting and calibrating the cars.
Notable parts still to be built include the "reverse twisted halfpipe" at the back of the swing launch, and the barrel roll at the end of the course.
Fewer and fewer parts are remaining in the car park. This appears to belong to the final brakes.
Like it or loathe it, this is the skyline of a new Dreamworld.
Or years of waiting if you've been wanting Dreamworld to build a modern, world class full circuit coaster.
It's satisfying seeing such an impressive coaster finally coming together after months of waiting.
We've got a roller coaster on our hands folks!
The ride operated for just short of 40 years.
A temporary haul road was built over the tracks of the Dreamworld Express to allow demolition machinery to move in and out.
As too does the tunnel, which is almost passable as a bit of a barrier.
The storage shed remains for now.
