Hi guys was at DW earlier this week and have some more photos of the the claw. Sorry they arent all that great quality as i had to compress them. I guess the most obvious thing is that the gondola is now attached. Also on friday (6th) there was a hell of a lot of work going on around the ride. Lots of painting and a work going on where the footpaths will be rejoining main st back up where the wipe out is . There were also some orange poles going up in the gargen areas. I have no idea what this is supposed to be (not part of the ride) but its going to be some sort of themeing no doubt. Also on friday almost all of the brick wall that joins up next to the wipeout was painted with trees and things on it. Anyway hope you enjoy the pics and if you want the non compressed ones just drop us a line

Hi there recently went to dreamworld for the first time. I have to say that dw is an excellent park in the way it is presented and maintained. There is also plenty more to do then compared to a park like wonderland. However both my friend who i went with and myself were annoyed with the long waits on almost every attraction that we went on. We spent 2 days up there (a thurs & fri) and the only time we got on anything without a wait was when we were in the park early on the first day before anythign was in operation. Both my friend and i also suspected that perhaps during weekdays when the park is not a full of people as on the weekend that perhaps rides are deliberately run at a slower rate. The other thing that annoyed us was that on rides such as the giant drop there was only one operator there all day and they would let thru around 3 - 4 groups of people into the tunnel. The days we were there only one side of this ride was working and this meant that for the line outside the tunnel it was like 20 mins or so before the line moved again. I dunno about the rest of you guys but i think i would perfer to be in a line that moved a little every few minutes rather then a line that moved up a bit further but only once every half hour or so. My thoughts when i was there was that i liked the way wonderland lines progressed on rides such as the demon, where you just got in line then got behind a gate when you eventually got to the station. this of course works well with only one operator (a second maybe on busy days to check the lap bars) With dreamworld for rides like the cyclone you have to wait in line in a place that isnt even near the station. The operation has to walk out from where they are after everyone has left the train let a few people thru to walk the last 50 mtrs or so to the station. The operatior then walks back to the control booth lets you thru the last set of doors and then you get in and your bars a checked. Just for me this seems like a complete waste of time...people shoudl be allowed to line up at the last set of doors and this would remove the need for the operator to have to walk around letting people thru. Im guessing this system does work well on days where rides like the cyclone have more then one person operating them but like on the days we were there it really sucks

One of the Techno tracks heard on the wonderland soundtrack is also used on the latest "Eastmont or Camera House" commercials. I dont know the name of it but perhaps if you contacted them they might be able to give you a track name.
