hey guys had a great time down at Dreamworld and white water world today. umm sorry I didn't get very good photos because I got distracted. haven't been for a while so I thought id enjoy my day to the fullest. I got a couple of shots of the new white tiger cubs from japan. if the club kindy thing is just a temporary attraction I must say they have done a great job with it. used the space very well. wipeout, log ride and the giggle and hoot hop and hoot was closed for scheduled maintenance. DREAMORD: GIANT DROP: walk on. was my first time on the giant drop and I will say wow. very fun ride. great free fall feeling. i must say though the paint around the entrance in that little tunnel is peeling very badly. TOWER OF TERROR: 20 min wait. not much to say about this one. really love the tower of terror. even though it doesn't go the full way up the tower anymore, still very enjoying. very loud though. every point in the park it can be heard. the aircon in the queue was also a nice addition. TAILSPIN: walk on for most of the day. not my favourite ride but its still looking great. BUZZSAW: about 30 min wait. (only had ride op. is that normal for this ride?) but yeah very slow loading and unload due to there only being ride op. stupid people scratching the wood effect paint off on some of the support beams in the queue. HOTWHEELS SIDEWINDER: walk on. very quiet all day. pretty much the same as cyclone but with a new theme. although the on-board audio was a good edition not Shure about the song choice. the hotwheels sidewinder hasn't even been open that long yet there is a fair built up of bird crap on the top of that weird hotwheels car track thing in the middle of the queue. the track really needs a paint. WHITE WATER WORD: so decided to head over here to the slides to cool off in the afternoon. all the slides except the triple vortex are badly feeding. can they repaint these? Green room was down. TRIPLE VORTEX: 10 min wait. still boring except for the last tunnel. the ride is still looking great. really nice guy up there as well. hyping kids up saying that you go upside-down in the tunnel but it happens I a second so that's why you don't see it. hahaha they stated screaming just before they hit the funnel. SUPERTUBES: 35 min wait. (again with only 1 ride op.) very slow moving queue due to the 1 ride op. I find that this one of the park most popular slide yet they put 1 ride op on it? although it took 35 mins it is still a fun slide. oh yeah and the shade sail things are a good idea and they do help a little with the sun, they really need to be changed. the steel holding it up is rusting very badly and rusting onto the shade sails. so they are a brown/green with brown rust stains. WEDGIE: walk on. very fun. no real complaint except for the rough slide surface. I had a t-shirt on but it flicked up a little and it scraped my back. LITTLE RIPPERS: 15 min wait. maybe the most faded of them all? Hopefully the photos aren't to potatoish? sorry about the lack of photos and th date thing in the corner of the pic.

For those who are not aware, AC16 221A is a "big sister" to Dreamworld's engine, as it also was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, in 1943. Twenty of these came to Queensland in 1943 to assist in the war effort, and two survive - one still with QR in the heritage fleet, and one at Zig Zag Railway in the Blue Mountains.
