^ I doubt that they would operate it any differently. I went to WWW last winter about three times. Have a look at my photo to see how packed it is... Photo Link

Firstly in your original post you are quoting a comment 3 years old... so it is possible that things have changed. Yes it has moved. I'm sure if you had read the Dreamworlds Direction or Stage 3 is go go go you would have known this.

From the first post...

^ What's wrong with the Wiggles theme...

It's either Quantum Field Theory or this. I think either a Mega Lite or something similar to would be great.

That's the same with me. I'm not too keen on any of the mobile / travelling style of rides. Here's a partial image of the ferris wheel from the Gold Coast Bulletin article

Really? I had a Platinum Pass which expired last November and I never noticed it in any of my visits...

What? When did WWW get an Eagle Boys? If WWW got one DW would have one too right? That would make MW the only theme park without a pizza franchise. How long has Dreamworld spent organising this show - not very long. Disney's California Adventure is taking months to complete the programming and testing of their World of Colour show (about a year to construct). The way I expected Illuminate to turn out was a smaller World of Colour but just as impressive. It sounds as though the storyline is lacking because it is based around SpongeBob. All we can do is hope that...

^ That looks a lot faster than what I thought it was going to be when I looked at the stats. But with the Wet'n'Wild's Aqua Loops going 15km/h faster, the Wedgie is still a relatively slow ride. Thanks for the videos Gazza.

So he hasn't been on the BRO... The Wedgie The Bro I must admit the key to the Wedgie is acceleration, it reaches it's top speed in 2 seconds. Edit:I just noticed Wet'n'Wild's Aqua Loop will reach 60km/h (see their website)

Is it just me or was anyone expecting the first drop to be a bit bigger? It does still appear to be a good ride though. From the photo, it appears that a new section has been added to the Green Room's platform to accommodate the ride and since there are no new stairs it is safe to assume the Wedgie will share the Green Room's stairs. This article appeared in the Bulletin this morning:

I noticed that too. I'm sure WhiteWater World is annoyed that Wet'n'Wild is getting publicity for it's own new ride. I only saw the 8am segment but did he actually go on the Wedgie earlier in the morning?

Some more information has been released about Illuminate. Dreamworld will be open until 7pm over the school holidays with some rides and upcharges operating. http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Attractions/I...e-Itinerary.jpg

From memory the on ride camera is located on the helix just before the brake run. Edit: If you have a look at this video I think you can see it in the background at or closer up just after

Rumour over on Theme Park Review is that a seat from the Cylon (inverted) side fell off during testing! I would call this a little more than a technical glitch. You can read the discussion here. If this is true I'm sure both Vekoma and USS are relieved that it happened during testing and not during operating hours.

Yep, I was there on the media day / annual pass preview day (3 days before the park opened). It was the one and only day that I have seen them use a helicopter for a rescue; and the only day I have seen enough tubes for everyone in the Cave of Waves. I'm sure if these videos actually had content new to us on the forums we might like it more - but because we've already seen the development application etc the videos aren't interesting. Regardless, the entertainment value is pretty bad.

^ at least they are quick in fixing it.

Dreamworld has started broadcasting a new series of videos titled the Dreamworld Insider via their Facebook and YouTube accounts. The videos' sole purpose is to advertise and promote their latest rides. Videos have been released on Illuminate and the Wedgie but don't include any new information. I've included 3 videos in my post. The first two from YouTube and the third from Facebook (because it isn't on YouTube yet). Dreamworld Insider's introductory video; Illuminate; Wedgie.

I found a discussion on Roller-Coaster.com.au which has been deleted from Parkz and thought it may be of interest to some. I've checked with Richard and he says it is ok to post. The discussion has a bit of talk about how the counterweight works. http://bit.ly/ScenicRailwayDiscussion Edit: It seems the forums change the Roller-Coaster URL to Parkz. I've used a Bit.ly to get around this.

If anyone is interested in an elaborate (over 7000 words) photo trip report see this post on Theme Park Review: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewt...=871550#p871550.

The park is now open and some new videos have appeared online. For more information about the park and it's rides visit its database entry on Parkz: http://www.parkz.com.au/parks/SG/Sentosa/U...dios_Singapore/.

^ I've never had any problems with Google Earth. Both these shots were taken with NearMap which features more recent imagery. See: Lethal Weapon Sidewinder

^ Didn't you know the slide went like that? I bet you don't know Lethal Weapon's true layout...

Both WhiteWater World and Sea World are water parks? Wet'n'Wild and WhiteWater World are the water parks on the Gold Coast. Sea World is a theme park with a small upcharge water park featuring only a couple of slides. I would not class it as a water park. See Parkz database page for Sea World here, you'll notice it has a few rides with very little focus on the water park. In regards with Bermuda Triangle, if you read this thread you will discover it now offers a lower quality experience than years ago.
