Leaderboard

This is my recollection of the layout. It's a very standard wild mouse: hairpins followed by a series of drops. I've annotated a few key elements. Like reanimated35 red is first, followed by blue, followed by green. I've added arrows at the joins of each colour section to hopefully make it easier to follow. Load station, and unload in its final few years. Lift hill. The exposed turn seen from outside at the top of the mountain (photo). This straight section is a drop, followed by a bunny hill, followed by a climb. The end of the bunny hill and climb up over the station was outside of the mountain and visible from the queue. (photo - where track changes from brown to black is the end of the bunny hill). 180º turn above the station and queue. You could catch glimpses of the cars from the queue as they went overhead. This straight section is a drop, followed by a small bunny hill, followed by a climb before the final 180º turn into the brake run. This whole section was in pitch black, though at times they did try various dim lighting effects in here. Brake run (photo - the lower, open section with a corrugated awning). Unload platform. This was decommissioned in later years, and all unloading took place at the main load station (photo). The ride control system was replaced quite near the end of its run with a modern system. This is why some folks have recently reported seeing the ride's control panels looking like they're in very good condition. They were essentially brand new when the ride shut. When the system was upgraded the unload platform stopped being used. I don't know whether it was a limitation of the new system, or simply because by this point Dreamworld had run the ride into the ground with fewer and fewer operable cars and minimal staffing to warrant the separate unload platform.

I don't remember any pirate shows at Dreamworld. I'm sure before Tiger Island it was just bush. There was a pirate show at Sea World called "Pirates of Paradise"... Dreamworld did have a bush ranger show on the paddle boat ride. The show was performed near where the sheep shearing show now is but was only watchable on the boat.

This is probley ment for a different form but thes anyone have any info on the old pirate ship show at Dreamworld that used to be where tiger Island is today. All I remember was going past on the old steam train and looking to your right and seeing this massive pirate show with blokes dress up and jumping from the top of the boast and doing stunts and Swinging on ropes and yeh thats all I remember. I found some old photos of the show a few years ago at my Nan's place witch I'll try and find again next time I'm going throw all the old stuff in the shed so I can upload them but there just seems to be no info of the show at all On the Internet?

Just to clarify, Shockwave is not in the Big 9. I wonder what's wrong with TailSpin?

Probably has been posted before but just found this... Didn't realise how exposed the mine carts originally were when it was opened. EDIT: Also for the people who cant tell where the photo is placed...

They certainly don't have to call a costumed character appearance a 'major attraction'. It's beyond a stretch.
