Hey guys so loopy lighthouse has now got it’s hat, Silly Sub is being installed possibly today and word from the rides manager is that Big Dipper arrived in Australia yesterday, That’s all for now but I’ll be back about 3pm if anything happens

Loop has been completed, credit to ozthrills on Instagram who is onsite taking footage today.

It looks like Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote will be making an appearance at the 30th anniversary (source: instagram)

I just took a couple screen shots of the trains from the Facebook video above. They look quite impressive. I especially love the detail of the ST logo on the metal grating.

Ah yes, the Luna Park gnome of wisdom

So we thinking the tunnel will contain the launch track?

The first half of the coaster is almost complete. The track that leads into the loop was installed today, plus more supports

Video is just concept and was told does not reflect the final design. The tender documents show completely different layout without the bridge and pathway.

Hopefully the below image from the all important Page 21 gives you (@Brad2912) an idea where the tunnel theming will be... Like what Mr Greg Yong stated in the 7 News clip, "the train will come out of this loop and will be plunged into darkness, and then back out into the course of the track."

If they were smart, they should use this as a chance to free up space in movieworld and move all (or a lot of) the admin related functions village have based at movieworld into the hotel build. Anything that specifically doesn't need to be in the park or require immediate access could be moved and remaining functions condensed into existing buildings or a new facility built.

Please actually give credit where it’s due and sight the actual instagram account. Whoops CITE, rather 🤦‍♂️

Yes, Also when i went back there at 3 bug was testing and boomerangs hydraulic system was testing along with the lift hill chain so expect boomerang to start testing in the next 2 weeks

No smallest microphone? 🤣

Yes TOT was LSM but with 1995 tech not 2021 tech. ...... Looks like the same train shells as Helix and Icon are being used

Yeah it looks like it and that will be awesome. A coaster like this will be awesome, but adding in all this rock work to launch through and weave in and out of will take it to another level

Press release from DW

Gold Coast Theme Parks: Dreamworld unveils new rollercoaster Steel Taipan Dreamworld has revealed details of its latest rollercoaster, a 105 km/h experience with an exhilarating burst of darkness during the park’s 1.2km new ride. DREAMWORLD has revealed guests will race through a rock tunnel in the Taipan’s arid desert home at up to 105 km/h, experiencing an exhilarating burst of darkness during the park’s 1.2km new ride. The news came as construction of the triple launch coaster reached a major milestone as the top of the ride’s fully inverted loop was swung into place. With the build commencing in October 2020 and the ride anticipated to open in late 2021, Condev Constructions have already completed over 40% per cent of the track installation, utilising over 125 track pieces, 140 column pieces, 6000 high strength bolts and having installed 520 pile foundations. Dreamworld said the rollercoaster train had recently left German manufacturer, MACK Rides and was expected to arrive at Dreamworld in late June. The snake-themed train was custom-designed to fit the reptilian theme of the rollercoaster and includes the world’s first spinning rear gondola. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/lifestyle/gold-coast-theme-parks-dreamworld-unveils-new-1970s-rollercoaster-the-gold-coaster/news-story/877b3ae20369a09303620d795a09f00d

if this how it's going to look im impressed. this is some of the best theming work i have seen since the ice cream parlour in 2015.

I can safely say that the last thing I look for when staying at a theme park ‘resort’ is close proximity to a suburban mall...

Cloud 9 did it way better 😂

But there's only eight balloons? (Wonderland fans rejoice.... Boo Boo's Balloon Race has returned!) Just in case anyone was wondering where Dronkey's Flyers ended up... Who did it better?
