A family member organizes the expos and a lot of the promotions for EB so I will be sure to pass this info on to him.

Plus side is some staff at Dreamworld stack your yearly pass discount and the RACQ discount... All adds up to a decent saving

Still unable to find any pics or footage of this... Would love to have head down to see but bad timing...

Only thing I can think about given that name... Although coming down from general anaesthetic probably isn't helping either... Will be very disappointed though if one of the carriages does not get a similar paintjob... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tKHlukQTik&feature=player_detailpage

I agree that I wont miss Sea Viper, and Corkscrew died the day it went orange... As far as replacement... They had 2 coasters and 2 water rides, then 3 coasters 1 water ride... I think they would be smarter to put in a non coaster ride rather than 75% of their rides (for adults) being coasters to appeal to a wider market than sealife rollercoaster enthusiasts...

Go every year and the only ride we seek out is the Breakdance... for my wife... Apparently Airmaxx 260, Extreme, Pirates Revenge and Fungee Bungee will be there... They used to list the rides on their website but no specific information at this time.

I know it is visible from the train as it circles around Blue Lagoon... Not sure about Buzzsaw queue.

One is visible in the shed under Black Lagoon mountain as of last week.

But they used to charge for it... Then they started giving it away... Same with the entry tickets now being almost the same cost as a VIP pass... With these they have created the typical guest you see at MW getting in for next to no cost, bringing their own food, not buying anything in shops... Of course there is still the tourists that spend heaps, the occassional visitor who will buy lunch and spend a little in shops but the majority spend very little on an average visit. Like several others here have posted previously it was better when the cost was higher meaning a different type of guest and experience. As far as FN... How about an abandoned meat packing facility or warehouse... To help enhance the theme limit the number of people admitted to FN each night so you can actually move around.

From posts everywhere ele in the forums... they need something to soak up crowds, for those who want more family orientated attractions, and that will fit into a theme that will last a long time without being too obscure...

The river was a lot cleaner last week than it has been previously so they have started doing something with it.

One thing they need to do sooner rather than later is add some sort of edge strip on the new stairs they added to walk up to Shockwave... Watched 3 people in under 2 minutes today fall down them... Whose smart idea was it to put them there in the first place??? Stairs on a path in a theme park... Also the tent that was near Wipeout has moved back next to the stairs and still has the hair wraps text on it... More painting occurring today mainly for the underside of the stairs and walk platforms.

Other than a lot of different food to eat and a parade is there anything else happening at these nights?

A little off topic but didn't DW have to offset the operation / starting of sequence for Wipeout and Reef Diver otherwise it would overload the circuit they shared or something? Had an old friend that worked there told me once...

Toasted TV started at MW before going to SW

Shak used to be at SW where Seal Harbour now is... Was also the same area parts of Flipper where filmed back around 1998-2000.

Not really... There was no signage for the Mini Cars in the park... There were HUGE posters in SW for Wild which were then removed and given that the animals they were to be receiving were being rehoused from somewhere else they would have had to have been sent elsewhere after funds for Wild were redistributed for the polar bear preschool at short notice...

It need finishing touches on the supports, the queue area still needs a bit of work, the railings need putting up, the pool needs a lick of paint, area needs to be landscaped... Still a fair bit to do, of course all of these can be done after th gondola is back in place so a quick turn around could be possible from this point. I am there again next Thursday so will see what stage it is at.

The only park I think needs another coaster is Dreamworld to make up for Cyclone, Buzzsaw and MDMC. MW has 5 coasters and SW 3 already... Those parks need a bit more variety

With how slow the progress on Wipeout has been given what they need to do perhaps they realised that they had bit off more than they can chew... I have never seen more than 2 people working on it and even then it was one on the entry area and one on the arms...

They will be at the RACQ Motorfest again this year

I said... By the end of the day they had almost met it up with the lighter blue on the top half of the arm... The dark blue did not go all the way to the top... It stopped where the light blue of the top half stops... Buffet... Because my wife and son enjoyed it and rather than screwing up a nice family day out at the time bit my tongue... The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few or one...

This is the blue it was painted... By the end of the day they had almost met it up with the lighter blue on the top half of the arm... The weights were also painted the same dark blue except the area inside the yellow tape... Blasted concrete removing the cream colour... Reef diver removal almost complete... So are you supposed to climb on this piece of equipment or not... I'm confused... Decided to have lunch in the Billabong Buffet today... Discount for world pass holder and for being an RACQ member meant it cost us less for myself, my wife and our 2 year old than it would have been to get a hotdog, chips and drink each... TBH I think I would have preferred the hotdog... Poor selection which was nothing like the "example" menu at the door and because it was far away from the door you could not look before paying...

Yeah but can't upload until I get home

At Dreamworld now and Wipeout is getting a coat of dark blue... They have also blasted most of the pathway lifting the cream coloured paint.
