DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Forgot to upload this yesterday... here's a nice panorama of the coaster compound taken from the footpath next to Entertainment road. You can see how much room there still is on the right hand side for turnaround of the coaster track, along with which footings are yet to have their supports installed. Still quite a bit of room there 👍

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
As suspected, eh Hopefully it's just a case of waiting for parts to be shipped over from Dutchland...

For you @Skeeta...you don't need to steal this one haha 😜 And thus concludes TPG's rolling coverage of the Hypercoaster construction for today, as I am now home and have to head to work 😛😆👍 @LORD_Noodle I don't think Movie World has announced anything more specific than it just being a September opening. But I dare say they will probably aim for it to be ready to go for the school holiday period!

Pretty much. What is obviously the remaining three pieces for the top of the hill are sitting underneath it now 👍

Part of me doesn't want to leave because I wanna see more pieces go up 😂 In that case I'm definitely offended 😉

You're welcome 😊 We have an amazing group effort happening! Happy to keep my side of things up so we can all stay on top of the construction piece by piece. Will try and visit a couple more times over coming days between work shifts, since I live somewhat local to MW (a couple of suburbs over, so a somewhat short drive lol) and I know it can be harder for others due to time and distance involved. Very exciting times, hey guys 😆👍

The Off Topic Topic
After reading the above I went to check out the Buzzsaw today to see of signage had changed to reflect that on the website. Sadly it's still the same (in one case, still broken with the blade missing 🙁). Would have been good, had it been a new universal change/upgrade for the ride signage and the Buzzsaw's overall image. As I've said before, even the small things add up in the end to complete the full picture...

New Dreamworld Patisserie & Grill "coming soon"
Today's update (please excuse the window glare!) more wall theming and also signage going up: Also seems to be something happening out here, perhaps a seated terrace area for people to eat outside? Not sure if it's still opening this month or not. Haven't heard otherwise, but also doesn't look like it will be finished within the next week or two 😮 What do you guys think?

Tiger Island Refurbishment - Dreamworld 2016
Got some more today whilst both on and off the train. Definitely a lot of mesh going up, including all around the walls inside that doorway - looks like it's definitely going to have cave or tunnel theming identical to that of the current lair on the other side 😆

Dreamworld Log Ride reopening 2017
Had another look today, evidence seems to still suggest no recent activity. Troughs are bone dry and full of leaves. Boats still banked up before the final hill climb. Water pumps are still off. Not sure where this rumour came from that they have been testing it out lately, it it's clearly not the case - at least not since we had all the ex TC Debbie weather, as there seemed to be a little more happening before then (as per my original post) but yeah, has gone quiet again now 😕 @Theme Park Ninja you may very well have a point there. Part of me also wonders if maybe it's also related to that lawsuit by the guy who *cough* *cough* "fell out" of the ride. Pretty sure I read somewhere that he was going to push his case more following the TRR incident, so perhaps that whole debacle needs to be settled as well first 😑

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
Took some pics of the Wipeout today. Hard to tell if much has changed since the last lot were shared of it, despite being nearly 3 weeks later 😕 ...although I did spot maintenance up there having a look at it on April 11th:

Track update 1.30pm: Two more pieces have been locked into place, one added to the climb making it even taller, and a curved part down low, further to the left (as per the positioning seen in the last pic) 😆👍

Sorry guys, have been super busy working over the past week lol. Just popped into MW just now to snag some latest piccies of our monster of a creation 😆 Enjoy guys... Just outside Dreamworld now, so will have some updated pics to share of here as well shortly 👍

Dreamworld Log Ride reopening 2017
I visit Dreamworld 2-3 times a week, but I have to say, as far as activity goes with the Log Ride (including up to yesterday, when I was there last), I haven't personally witnessed any movement or changes with it for weeks - and my husband and I have been watching it closely 😑 The water pumps have been left switched off since the ex TC came through, all and troughs are still bone dry other than at the station. The boats are still sitting in the same places along the track as well. The only movement I have noticed is the maintenance window sometimes being open, sometimes being closed. That's about it, which has been a disappointment since as I reported a few weeks ago, it did initially look like things may be happening with it. But from what I've seen first hand during my frequent park visits, everything has been sitting stagnant since 🙁 There's a pic I took of the ride yesterday ^
