Wave Swinger timeline.

I'm more excited for Jungle Rush.

I think you can safely assume they're not solar-powered. If they can run power to an entire plant room 115m+ into the air, they can get power to the letters on the way up.

This afternoon This evening Also some supports in the WOO holding area

Shade structure has been installed for wiggles big red planes

(Noticeable) work has begun on site More track has surfaced

Looks like the track is being painted grey so it can then be repainted again to a different colour.

Please stick around. I want to see more of this out of box thinking.

It's already been confirmed, the lights are to be powered by the new wind farm and Space X rockets will be launched from the side of it. (do I need to put a /s)

You don't think they could run a conduit down either the outside, or the inside of the tower???

Village operations is a joke. When the new kid's coaster opens, we will be able to compare it to TNT operations.

Yeah look, it's not for me at that price (I usually skip it during the day when its free), but you'd probably get a few riders an hour and that'd probably cover your costs, so not a bad idea. Like Treehouse, i'm ok with these low barrier to entry attractions operating during the markets, though unlike treehouse, you'd have to charge something for dodgems to keep the queue manageable.

It's a cable holder. As the cable car moves up and down the tower, a bunch of these fold out to prevent the winch cables from flying about. This design is pretty old school - Intamin now use a passive holder that the cable car collects on its journey.

If you look closely, the yellow device is also in your closeup shot under the 'A' - it has running gear to go up the track, and a ram or actuator to push off the support structure below it. At a guess, these devices assist with placement of the letters in some way - they're able to move up or down the length of the actuator. they're positioned at a level below the letters though - so perhaps it supports a work platform, or holds the tools and fixings needed? Not sure on the wrapped section, but its literally taped on so its not going to be there for long. Similarly, my guess is its related to the install of the letters. they probably didn't get as far last night as they wanted to \ haven't finished cleaning up after last nights work.

The Intamin curse is a thing, but I feel it's a rather outdated idea these days. It kind of came from that era in the early 2000s when Intamin rides had this nasty habit of ejecting people. Occasionally all manufacturers will build something that turns out to be an absolute biscuit, but Intamin are fairly solid these days.

I can see the marketing now! "World's First Theme Park with two Purple/Fuscia/Pink coasters"

Dreamworld's Wave Swinger design. I've added blue to the drawings to show water location. Floor mesh will be located over the water under the ride. Mesh shown in yellow. (All pictures taken off public web site)
