Spotty

Well... I could only make out bit's of your post. But yes the Wipeout used to have sand at the front and water in a lagoon. In November last year they removed the water and painted it, and also removed "Fluffy" the shark from the lagoon.

By the way the ride has progressed, It will open by the end of June. Unless something happens that causes it to otherwise happen. I mean if one of these can be tore down in 6 hours at a carnival (probably not even that) I'm sure it can be up and running by the end of the month.

Well Spongebob Flypants is coming along great, I have attached 2 photos of the ride. The gondolas are all in place and all that seems to be left to do is some cosmetic and ground work to the ride and the operators booth. Sorry for the quality of the photos, they were taken on my phone through the fence.

^ You mean if African Safari World opens. Has anyone heard anything more on that yet?

It just looks Alot bigger when your standing up to it thats all. Thats what made me think it was bigger.

The Green Room was not actually a clone. WhiteWater World had brought it before Wet n Wild. All of the rides at WhiteWater World at the time of the parks announcement were due to be Australian firsts, Minus the Temple of Huey. Wet n Wild then jumped on the Tornado idea and built it before WhiteWater World's opening. And it's not a clone as such anyway, The Green Room is a different model to Wet n Wild's Tornado with a slightly higher drop into the bowl and a extended flume section before the drop. I also think the funnel elements size may be slightly bigger but I'm not 100% Also with the Water Coaster, I havn't heard anymore on it lately. But hopefully we should see some construction soon.

LOL! Send it off to Sea World... where it was originally meant to go.

To Ash's defense here, I have also heard the Roof rumor from several staff members within WVTP. I havn't heard any updates for a while on it, so we will just have to wait and see how it pans out. And... if none of the parks have a new coaster planned for the next 10 years, I will loose all faith and be forced to believe in Scientology.

The amount of times I've been to Movie World since superman opened (and thats ALOT) I've NEVER seen Superman Escape roll back, or even hear of it happening during normal operating hours. I have witnessed / been on a rollback during a private film shoot early in the morning about 4 months after the ride opened. It may have happened before, but I've never heard of it happening. Also it's nothing that great really, it just feels like riding Tower of Terror.

Well... Superman went down in February - March, And Lethal often goes down in May. And they normally only have 1 maintenance period a year. But sometimes if they need to they may have more, but this is rare.

I havn't seen any pics, but that would be because it is most likely in a warehouse.

Well, The ride has had 3 major retrofits. The manufacturer is unknown, but the Parkz Database mentions Hyfab / L+T Systems. And what are these "morning stages" your talking about? Is it meant to be some sort of petty insult?

I Don't think we will see it rebuilt in any way, shape or form in a hurry, and what is this downtime you speak of? Every time I have been to Dreamworld since 2005, I have NEVER seen it break down and I used to go there often. The only times it was closed was for annual maintenance or Screamworlds. I never felt the ride was unsafe once... except for maybe the lack of head clearance, but I'm sure anyone over 5ft would be worrying about that one! I am still upset at the fact it's had to close, but there would have to be a very valid reason why it happened. As they wouldn't just close it for the sake of closing it.

The Eureka Mountain structure will not be removed any time soon. Removing it would be far too tedious with Thunder River underneath it, not to mention all the shops adjoining it. Such as IMAX, Kodak Photo Center, Candy Shop / Ice Cream Parlour and various Gold Rush themed shops. Even if the ride doesn't operate anymore the mountain housing still looks good. Without it Goldrush would look very different. As it has also been previously mentioned on the forums, the inside of the mountain is currently being used for storage. And with the size of the mountain (not that big) It is making good use of the storage. Just because the ride doesn't operate anymore, and will never operate again in the foreseeable future doesn't mean it has to be knocked down. I'm sure if it didn't play such a iimportant part on various structures around the park, Dreamworld would have done something by now about it.

I am not posting for the sake of posting, I am merely replying to something that was directed at me.

I do exist... who do you think I am? The boogeyman? AHHHH BOOGEYMAN!

Canberra already has a very crappy waterpark. And they DID have a theme park (if you could call Downunderland that) But the day WVTP builds a theme park in Canberra is the day I announce that my real identity is Jesus.

Epic Fail. Just joking lol. But if they are able to get it fully running by 2008 I will declare it to be better than Disneyland!

I very much doubt it will be ready by 2008 as it's halfway through 2008.

As long as Aussie World keeps the great atmosphere and AMAZING staff, I can see this being a very good move. Aussie World could really benefit from the new attractions that Village have outlined. I mean 10 attractions is about the same size as WhiteWater World currently operates. So it is a very big move and I can really see it working out well for them.

Twin Flip left the Ekka halfway through the show in 2006 due to technical issues. Then 3 weeks later in Adelaide there was a accident on the ride. It only very recently started to travel again.

Crazy Coaster was at EKKA last year, and it is a piece of crap lol. And agreed that No Limit is the best traveling ride in Australia, closely followed by Space Roller and then probably Insanity (Chaos Pendle)

With the Sunway Lagoon information. It also seems as though they got Angoscia from Dreamworld also But from reading the description it seems a bit different...

I was actually thinking of getting them to carry the Tornado Cloverleaves up in strong winds.... far out that IS a workout!

Mmm... pity about the height limit for Sea World. I still think SurfRider should have gone there and WnW getting something like a rollersoaker. And Dreamworldfan, I think you might be onto something
