It wasn’t planned from what I’m aware of but the maintenance page just claims it’s only down for today

Regrading towards if DW needs to build a roller coaster to compete with Rivals.. I personally think that DW going through the family market at the moment is a great idea imo Personally as much some people would like to see some friendly competition between DW and MW with thrills. I don’t want to see DW following MW’s shoes, I would like to see DW be diverse with their offering/attractions as possible than what MW have been in recent years as MW doesn’t appear to be showing strong interest with the family market atm. Sure, people these days are always looking for the biggest thrills but I feel like with the success that Rivals has brought, I think it’s safe to say we don’t really need to see any “major thrill ride” for maybe 5-10 years I personally think the I-Ride theatre will be a success for the park, the concept of it is fantastic and I strongly believe if they continue to build attractions that can appeal to everyone like this then my faith in the park will be skyrocketing through the roof.

Interesting read for those interested http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/entertainment/behindthescenes-at-sea-worlds-carnivale/news-story/50162fe7dca66a556b1ccc39450dee33

Poor unfortunate souls...

WNW Mach 5 Closed for scheduled maintenance from Monday 30th April and will re-open on Monday 10th December 2018.

Forgot to bring this up the other day but if you thought that WBMW construction photo op was bad and made no sense how about two entertainers dressed up as fireman with wondering around Main Street?

^Nikki would be the best person to really thank, not me

*fast forwards to one day later...*

Managed to get footage of the ride testing Does appear that the ride has new ride cycle in place (must say though, pretty disappointed in seeing that the ride doesn’t go upside down that much, hell looking at the footage again, I don’t even think it goes upside down) Apologies for them pesky fingers getting in the way!

Quick updates for now Just missed Wipeout doing a test run, seems to be running with no problems which is great to see Kevil is open till 21st and it’s hours are 10:30-5pm Checking on RHLR and PSFW now Main Route to Giant Drop/Corrobee/RHLR appears to be down but you can still access it? There we go pathway blocked down the stairs next to RHLR Work appears to be carried out on the flume channel near the lift hill on RHLR (didn’t get any good pics of this happening) PSFW

Cinema is closed down once again today to plan for the attraction

Testing has commenced

@themagician

Just taken Ride’s name and the waves on the carriage have been reinstalled, Great to see the ride looking refreshed once again

Yeah I forgot to mention that in the original post but yeah I agree with you Magician it does give off the impression that will be closed just for tomorrow only If it was to close tomorrow permanently it would have most likely said “The cinema will officially close Friday 12th January” Plus if it was closing down this month I’m sure they would have waited till the holidays are done and dusted, not during the holidays, they need nearly very attraction open at this current moment I got a bit trigger happy Sorry folks

They are sitting behind the Thunderbolt site awaiting installation

Just checked the attraction’s page It states it’s closing on the 12th (EDIT: After rereading the statement it gives off the impression it would be just down for tomorrow only, got a bit trigger happy folks) If it does close down I feel like they should have given people abit more than one day notice that it was closing but the same time they do tend to delay their maintenance schedule at the very last minute so this doesn’t surprise me

Maintenance page says it was just for today only though

I’m really hoping the event is called Park After Dark Cageworld All the rides have cages all installed for one night

Me thinks once Trolls opens for Easter Holidays Cinema will close shortly after

Some new additions to the park The WWF boats do appear that they have received a coat of paint It also appears that they haven’t added anything safety wise to the boats atm

The original Eurkea Mountain Mine Ride from 1986-1988 might be the answer you are looking for https://www.parkz.com.au/parks/AU/Gold_Coast/Dreamworld/ride/2104-Eureka_Mountain_Mine_Ride_original
