Yes but for Christ sake this is an article for the general public to read so in that context it makes perfect sense. Obiously the nut is at the correct torque (unless the stripe as move of course) because that's part of the assembly procedure before the stripe is applied and signed off on. I dont understand why when people have good in depth information they use it to nit pick stupid shit like this rather than contribute meaningfully to discussion.

Dreamworld's new advert for their ' Pure Imagination' campaign is out. And I must say, personally I think this is a great advert and campaign and really allows them to show off all aspects of the park in a really nice way. "Welcome home to Dreamworld; A world created to inspire wonder, where learning has no finish line and where anything is possible when powered by dreams and imagination."

Found this on Instagram under #mackrides. Was uploaded on the 22/12/2016

It is a great commercial, behind the scenes is worth a watch too. Really love what Dreamworld are doing right now, especially the new imagery.

Agree with u, was just pointing out what I think Max was getting at..

Movie World prepares site for roller coaster construction Movie World has fenced off a large portion of its car park as a staging area for the construction of their new roller coaster. Click here to continue reading

The Bulletin told everyone it was a hyper months ago... as did the tender documents as far back as 6 months ago the staff did not just find out..

Alright someone has to say it: Maybe after people drowned, probably an idea to not start your come back ad with the phrase 'Hold your breath'. I don't hate the idea, I get what they're going for, they want something nice and safe and uplifting. I also like the new logo - never really been a fan of Dreamworld's modern logo, so that's all well and good, but using a song from a Warner Brother's movie that's being way over sung which starts with that line, yeah it's a big no from me.

I think the description DW gave for this video really explains what it is all about right now "In a connection created with heart, soul and nostalgic passion, we’ve reimagined everything Dreamworld has always been; A place of genuine experiences, forever memories and a giddy, giggling mix of escapism and home." It really is all about reimagining everything we've known to love about DW. It's about brining happiness to everyone, not just thrill seekers, or small kids, everyone as a whole. And with what happened last year, this is the perfect time for this type of campaign. Get people excited about the park and really show what they have to offer.

I've been watching your webcam for 3 hours and it's very hard to see now.

That's the exact same thing that i first thought of @Redboost and all the childhood memories I had watching that film

Does anyone else sense a strong Disney vibe to this ad? I don't know if it's just me, but it felt like it had a very similar vibe. Which makes sense, seeing as they're both theme parks etc. But just really struck a cord with me on that.

Really impressed by that TVC.

I think he's saying if the containers haven't arrived on the dock today, they won't come until the next docking next week, which means it will only leave 2 weeks of that area being closed with track parts on site. of course that is relying on the downtime having a) anything To do with the new coaster at all and b ) if it is coaster related, it having something to do with the tracks. Neither of which are confirmed in anyway though...

That was actually a really good ad!

It definitely is the lighting, it's still looking very bright and red. This was taken last week

Fingers crossed for containers to start arriving this afternoon, this evening or tomorrow morning... Last container ship for 3 days docked a little under 2 hours ago... And if... IF... JL3D and Batwing closures have anything to do with the new coaster installation that gives 3 weeks instead of 2 or 2 and a half... A sign that I have nothing better to do on a Friday night... http://queensland.snarl.com.au/cams/single/201 Wife is going to Brisbane for a live music performance tonight... She was surprised when I volunteered to drive her there.... Up the highway and back...

I'd think that it's pretty self-evident that the stripe goes on after -- not before -- the nut is tightened to the correct torque? I clarified this though in the article to leave as few grey areas as possible. You're right @Levithian, for simplicity I was considering the final brake run as part of the station area checks but again it's worth leaving no grey areas.

Fenced off car park, shaded area near facilities, clearly they are putting in valet parking and this has nothing to do with the coaster.

Send me twisty track like that and I'll be a very happy chap

constructive like building a skyscraper out of playdoh.

Considering they only told general staff it was a hyper coaster a few weeks ago I doubt they know much unless they are directly involved in the project.

Torque stripes The nuts and bolts on roller coaster carriages, track and support structure use torque stripes, an indicator that is painted on. It gives an immediate visual and tactile indication of whether the bolts are correctly tightened. I'm probably being picky but I don't think this reads correct, unless my understanding is wrong. The indicator is there for a visual check if the nut has loosened or changed in tension, it isn't a visual indicator that the nut is at the correct torque. If the nut was not torqued correctly prior to the paint stripe going on then it only indicates a change in the incorrect torque, it doesn't verify that it is at the correct torque - if that makes sense :/ i.e. if the nut should be at 50lbs put was incorrectly tightened to 30lbs, and then painted..... Other than that, good read - thanks.

^ so that was constructive? The painted line does not indicate that the nut is correctly tightened, it's as simple as that. As usual, any feedback or opinions that differ from the fanboys comes under fire in this forum.

If the articles intent is to inform the general public then the article isn't achieving that goal as the content is misleading (imo). It was constructive feedback, nothing more.
