Steel Taipan Construction - Dreamworld Mack launched roller coaster
I have seen new ideas getting tested but I have not seen many complete builds. Mack have a department that runs in house test. Mack also has the advantage owning a theme park where they can retrofit a ride and carry out large scale test.

What do you mean by test fits?

You don't have to go to America to find things engineers have got wrong. A lot of things you walk past all the time, like the performance centre in Brisbane had major engineering flaws. Cross bracing only installed because during construction the splayed walls failed. Trying to remember, but didn't a post/column on Rivals get modified during construction because of a clearance issue?

A pull through isn't just to check the rider envelope. Many components can be checked during a pull through. Brake alignment, sensors getting triggered, undercarriage clearance, train hook alignment, train binding etc. I know at one stage, coaster standards in America required all coasters to undergo a pull through. I don't know if this is still the case in America.

And in theory you could do it on any train.

Nobody is holding their arms out during a pull through to see if their arms hit. /s The envelope guide they attach to the train would measure the worst case no matter what train it is fixed to.

Dreamworld owner Ardent leisure HY21 results reveal $83.6 million loss
That could mean anything. I think they are saying. They aren't going to buy something just because it's cheap and nasty. Like Buzzsaw.

I'm reading they are looking at rides for the future but haven't locked anything in. Also if you read the part about the hotel, Ardent haven't locked anyone in yet for that project either.

Luna park 9 new rides construction
@MrLukeCarrollprobably because the train could be the standard one that comes with the coaster. Meaning they would already have moulds for the train.

LP is a fair and not a theme park.

For sure. I wonder if they thought this through. If I'm at a sporting event downing beers and sitting in 🏃♂️ water. I might get the sudden urge to relieve myself.🙃

Looks like you found their inspiration. I don't know what I was hoping for but it wasn't that.

I'm thinking it would be hard to keep a standard slide clear for very long.

@OgreMagicyou should upload your other video you took of the works currently going on.👍

I don't know how many transparent slides get built. I know there is one on a cruse ship but I can't recall another. A person who loves a slide is @Gazzaso he might know.

The water slide in the concept looks to be a tunnel style slide, so I hope you have x-ray vision.😂

Maybe they will require people to wear fatman suits to force social distancing.

Aren't the circumstances by that time they are looking to open things back up? I know QLD and WA have been wishy-washy on the matter but NSW have been solid on what will happen when targets are met.
