The most news I'll be sharing is when I'll be at the park and whether I see anything interesting there (like a new piece of wipeout for example).

You never know, it could be testing by Wednesday. Then again, I'm not 100% sure on what still needs to go in and how complex it is to install everything before the gondola arrives.

No it won't happen again, it's staying the way it is now. It was to do with Facebook and the like, it's got nothing to do with my age.

It's not news (I'm just as over them as anyone else), it's just a place where I can keep all of my photos online in one place. I'm not pushing to get the most likes or anything, it's just there if anyone's interested to see what else I've got. Same as your page basically...

Here are my favourite photos from Movie World! Hope you enjoy: Also! I invite you to visit my FaceBook page which I have just launched. It has all the photos you've seen here plus more. Any photos I post for construction updates etc will be uploaded there before being posted on here. DOWNUNDER196 FACEBOOK

Forgot they even had crocs...

Is that croc photo from Australia Zoo? Looks awesome with the fish between his teeth!

In love with the explosion!

I've sent one anyway, it's literally a one digit change...

Oh rightio, great pictures though. I really like the tilt-shift from Sea World.

Not sure if I'm in the right place but how can I change my username?

Nikon D3200, nothing that professional. Can't you use the image tags?

I've had a couple of requests to post more of my theme park photos so I thought it would be interesting to begin a topic where everyone can post their favourite theme park photos they have taken. I'll begin... Dreamworld: White Water World: I still have plenty more photos from Movie World to share but that can wait till another day. I also have a number of photos I want to take in the parks when I get the chance. I'm really interesting to see what other people have to share. Happy snapping!

Wanna shake on it?

I'll make another thread with the photos that I've taken. If I made it a general theme park photography thread would it go on these board or under chit chat? But first I'll wait until more photos have finished uploading

I'll be there again on Monday, with any luck it might be done by then. They'll probably push for it to open for Screamworld Friday week. EDIT: Someone took pictures this arvo... 1

I hope I'm wrong too, I'd rather see something there I couldn't ride at the EKKA...

I'm uploading quiet a few photos, can you make sure the Superman ones I just put through worked properly? I edited the first photo but I don't think I could edit the others. EDIT: I see where I went wrong. Didn't scroll You'll get a few Superman photos without any details...

Considering the sign says putting a spin on things and we were told supposedly it is coming from Italy (still not 100% sure of that fact) it appears to be a flat ride from Zamperla. Considering the park's past with the company I find it likely to be true. Although it's hard to see in the photos there is a single footer in one corner of the site. On pretty much all of Zamperla's thrill rides there are like Pandamonium in the way that they rotate around a central point and have a large round concrete footprint. But, when you look at a Power Surge is has a large concrete base for guests to board on but the ride's structure is bolted to the ground in a smaller footprint off to the side. So it looks like the ride will be a Power Surge with its base in the direction of Flowrider and loading on the Shockwave side. I hope that made sense but its my explanation to why I think so.

Excuse my ignorance but how do I upload photos now? Can't find a link on the photos page.

There are still so many others I didn't post. Might upload them to go in the site's gallery.

Onto this. The following photos are from the construction site of the new ride. Although it's hard to see there is a large concrete footer in the corner closest to the Cyclone entrance. It looks like we'll most likely be seeing a Power Surge there sometime soon. Might not be new, but I can't recall seeing this before. Looks relatively new anyway. Favourite photo in (out?) the park. This one isn't too bad either. Again, not sure how new these are but they were at White Water World behind the entrance too. Still no logo to be seen at the entrance either. Sorry if some of you thought this update is a bit long but I hope you find it somewhat beneficial to what's going on in the parks.

There is already piping on site so yeah should be. - - - Reef Diver is in pieces in the car park behind White Water World Wipeout! Repainted the entry building. Really see how close the new path will be. Overview of the area. More of the wave. Wipeout. The Hot Dog stand has moved from the fountain. The path is pretty dull at the moment. The stairs leading to Shockwave.

Sorry about the delay, I ended up leaving it and went to sleep (I'm on a slow internet connection at the moment). Here it is now though! While reading this please bare in mind that I haven't been to either of the parks since late last year so some of the stuff I post may be outdated. Also, I have been following this thread but I may have missed some stuff and post it here so forgive me for that. On to the photos... After riding The Wedgie again I have given up hope on body slides, except for Aqualoops due to the aqua packs. The Green Room's sign has definitely seen better days. The BRO looks like it's in need of a fresh coat of paint. It was in rotation with The Rip but all 8 lanes were open! *Drumroll* Work going on under The Rip for the new slide's pumps. The main area of construction, hard to see what's happening. Still not easy to see but there were four or five large footers going in place. But look at it from above... There were four or five of those concrete footers so surely it looks like a tornado alley of some description. With the construction of the new slide you can get some unique views of Cyclone down the service road. Really liked this photo... EDIT: This is only about a third of what I have to post but it won't let me post anymore. Maybe after someone else replies it might work?

Nah I had to sort through them and now they're uploading to an external site. Shouldn't be too much longer. It'll be a pretty decent size update from my day. About the update... I might just jump the gun and say I'm 90% sure we're getting a Power Surge based off different information given and what I saw today.
