Moto-Coaster now less crap then before. I wonder if the ACCC could prove Dreamworld was false advertising the ride and how would they go about proving it.

The best way to fix it is to melt it down into paper clips. I think all they need to do is add extra launch wheels after corners to keep the speed up. Increasing speed after corners would simulate moto-racing much better anyway. Increasing the launch speed would not work if the track was not designed for it but I can’t see why adding extra launch points around the track to keep the speed closer to 70km would not work.

Gazza your drawings are getting better.

The boat ramp is council owned and vmr leases the land from the gold coast council.

I don’t know where you got your boundaries from but you have included the boat ramp, boat ramp car park and vmr.

The train is very noisy towards the end of the run. It squeaks like a mouse is stuck under a wheel. I think it sound like a shopping trolley with a bung wheel. In all there hast to get in running after the rain they have forgotten to oil it. Somebody better call them and tell them to oil it up baby.

Show me the money. If it smells, looks and taste like a rat then I say it’s a rat.

Can you tell me what ride at dreamworld opened on a Thursday?

I should have asked you. I hate when people make up things just to be seen. It has just come to me through a dream that the mine cart will reopen on Saturday and it will run the course backwards due to the fact that the maintenance crew could not get it right.

Why do you think it will open next Thursday?

Red Heal to Wet and Wild seems a long way to travel for work. Would you move closer if you got a job? Good luck with the interview.

What does this have to do with what I am talking about? I think you need to reread it.

Don't know where you got your information from but that is not how the building industry works. A builder cannot clam for rain delays and then charge for the days they are claming for.

Gazza can you please tell me what a big piece of plywood in an oval shape would be used for.

How much do these pictures look the same. SEAWORLD KOREA The question I have is what procedure is in place for Seaworld when something like this happens to a ride within their park? Does Seaworld notify the manufacture straight away? Does the manufacture notify other parks with a simular ride about the problem? Does the park that is notified shut down their ride until the problem is rectified? Clearly if all the above things had happened then it would not of clamed 5 lives in Korea. At what point are parks putting a profit before the guest safety.

Maintenance worker causes ride to malfunction at seaworld Carriages, with doors open, crash into each other Incident happened before opening hours Close call ... this photo, sent to NEWS.com.au, shows The Eye's carriage doors open at the Gold Coast's Sea World theme park.

This style of roller coaster has recently been built using a friction wheel launch system by another company. You can also see in the photo the same gauge track is used.

PREMIER Peter Beattie has told opponents of the proposed super yacht marina at The Spit on the Gold Coast that the project will go ahead. ``Thinking people will support this ... it's a done deal,'' he said. ``We want The Spit to be world class and it will be. This will be a successful, balanced development and we'll get a lot of (private) interest. ``We set the rules and the rules are the ones I have spelled out.'' The proposal is for more than 10ha of prime Crown land at The Spit south of Seaworld to be offered to private developers. The land will be used for the construction of super yacht facilities, marinas, berths for the fishing fleet, shops, restaurants, hotels and units. I was just thinking when this development goes ahead what will be the height limit on the new restaurants, hotels and units. Since it looks like the state government is overriding the local government on want can be built on the spit it might work to Seaworlds favour in the future.

I think Dreamworld is becoming a patchwork quilt. Dreamworld needs to decide where it is going in design and the overall outcome they wish to achieve and go for it.

Does anybody think that dreamworld new rollercoaster’s track gauge is about the same as this motocoaster? Zamperla Rides also make a motocoaster and its top speed is 65km. There is one on youtube if you want a look.

You could be right Nev. I big chief at Dreamworld also and ash.1111 has applied Dorothy the Dinosaur’s lip-gloss before every show, for the past few years.

What a load of crap. You make no more sense then dreamworldrideop does. You are telling us what here? 1. Dreamworld new that it was getting a Gyro Swing and no amount of testing, changes or alterations would change the fact that dreamworld was getting a Gyro Swing. 2. What is dreamworld saying about their manufactures if they buy a Gyro Swing but think they will end up with a Pirate Ship? 3. Just because more bracing has to be added or a less corrosive finish might have to be used during construction does not change the fact that it’s a Gyro Swing. 4. What are you saying about your design team (they can’t get it right). I put it to you that it is dreamworlds marketing ploy not to releases the ride information till it is ready to open the ride. You would be better of to reinforce dreamworlds policies with its workers at work and not in our forums.

I have seen a heap of photos of the construction of the Tower Of Terror. The crane used to build the TOT was the first of its type in Australia. The manufacture of the crane has added a portfolio of the crane and the construction of the TOT on there web site. One problem is I don’t remember the site address for it, so you will have to do a search.

This is old news. The first reports that came out with this that it was a 16 year old before we where told it was a 13 year old girl. Your uncle must still have snail mail.

I have seen that ride down the local park already Richard. It has two bikes and holds 4 people. It's a bastard to peddle thou and a bit hard on the rear end.
