There's a SkyVoyager branded kiosk in Westfield Coomera at the moment. If you buy an annual pass there, you get a pass for 13 months (same as online) and also a $20 Westfield gift card. The guy there told me: - The new development for next year is an adventure river in Whitewater World, which will include things like Waves and waterfalls. - They are NOT planning a dark ride for 2019, but it might be happening in 2020 or subsequently. - They are considering a new coaster also in coming years. Most importantly, boxing day is still the planned opening day of SkyVoyager. It just can't be confirmed just yet due to construction activity, which of course can be a bit hard to predict. Exciting times!

Which is exactly why in almost every Magic Kingdom they have a knock-off diesel tra.... oh wait. I feel bad for theme park management - their biggest fans always complain that the parks "aren't what they used to be like" but shrug their shoulders and remark things are "fine" when a change happens. It's how we end up with skydancers at Sea World.

Hotdog fans rejoice, for the stand has returned for the summer holidays. For @Slick and other fans of just the tip a

If there is nothing wrong with the train then they should be running it and send the tractor they are using at the moment to the scrap yard where it belongs!

If you look carefully, you’ll notice the cherry picker has been removed 😮. Pretty massive news!

These screens really scream "turn of the century Victorian aesthetics" like the buildings that surround it.

Today’s update

Worth noting these are permanent installations rather than the temporary ones they usually have. Also there are two.

It was taken in November, I’m sure the Goliath booth has a Christmas tree just like Abyss does. 😂

Good to see it was placed really well and fits into its surrounds 🤨

Lots of dirt being taken from lazy river to trr site. Looks like Dreamworld say @AlexB‘s post because more progress has been made.

Going up near the main entrance.

What's the update?

Believe it will be for live maintenance updates... you know, full transparency and all..

Yeah, but it's the 1% you've got to appease. You think theme park fans are a bit nuts. Go over to the railpage forums and refer to it as a real train and see what response you get. Train fans (gunzels) are a whole different breed (possibly even species!). 🤣

It looks like a train, and feels like a train, so it's a train to me. I'm pretty sure it's a train to 99% of riders! I'm grateful to have access to such things. If you were born in Queensland, you probably don't realise how lucky you are. Closest thing in Adelaide was Greenhills adventure park (which is now a construction site for new homes). About $40 each and every time I went. They had a "Tractor-train", and that's what it looked like! Operated 2 or 3 times a day, and forget about the possibility of any entertainment during the ride. Again. We have it very good here!

Push - its a tractor, with a train shell placed over it to make it look like a train. this is one you won't win.

No Christmas tree?! 🌲

It does look good, hopefully they get a permanent one that is higher up if guest enjoy this temporary model

It's a lovely tourism campaign... Wait, it's for a theme park? Ah, sod it.

Here are some from Goliath that we’re posted on a recent today tonight video.

Strange as it may sound to the Alexs of this world, I simply don't care!

I saw a jellyfish and was going to to say something a la Seaworld should have used that design instead.

Actually, the apostrophe here is correct. It's possessive. The 's' is not plural. 'Your Classic's', is just a shorter way of saying 'Your classic flavour's original taste'. It's clunky but it's grammatically correct. @red dragin While it might be technically correct, it's an awkward way of phrasing it because they've truncated the sentence to make it fit. They've also used 'one of your' which makes the plurality of flavours both singular and possessive in a way that doesn't intuitively make sense. Multiple flavours would generally be plural, and 'your classics' would be the plural way of referring to the group of flavours. The addition of 'one of' and 'your' confuses whether they are referring to one 'classic' flavour or 'one of the classics'. Since there are multiple flavours the sentence, as written, would read correctly as plural rather than possessive singular - without any additional words being truncated. The truncation of those words makes the apostrophe confusing because they're referring to a singular, possessive noun, but your brain has to figure out what words are missing since the sentence would make perfect sense without any more words if it were plural. TL;DR it's just bad copy writing and they should have found a better way to make their point that isn't grammatically awkward. I hope this helps and doesn't just make you more confused.

Well the e-stop isn't labelled so Dreamworld would definitely be the experts to call.

Does it ever go down for extended maintenance, if so, contact Dreamworld immidiately.

Hmmf!

Sure seems like you do.

I posted a photo in this thread. Not a tractor. A train!

I think you've definitely got the right answer. Can you guess which one is correct?

Oh. Oh no. OH, NO...
