From FB: Dreamworld will be operating from 12pm to 6pm today. WhiteWater World will be open from 11am and entertainment and shows are currently underway in the front of the park. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

You can see from this nearmap update on June 8 that part of it had already been taken town, and they'd fenced off that part of the waterpark

MW posted this image on their FB page and in the comments have said: Stitch Up is a brand new retail outlet open all year round. You'll be able to browse all of the options when you next visit

There will be at some point between now and 2019, but definitely wouldn't say it will be any time soon.

Not saying it make sense to do it tonight, but went past the carpark at about 5:30 and it was still relatively full, with plenty of cars still in the overflow area

Like the sound of this, and hopefully we will see it come this year. The more I've thought about it, it would have to go under the Monorail station at the front of the park, as the one at the water park, is where the monorails receive maintence underneath the station, so there isn't room for this underneath it. SW have said that COTD is a temporary attraction, like the dinosaurs were. Which were at the park for 2 years. COTD has been there for just over 2 years now. Even if they just are removing the indoor part of it and changing it to the jellyfish.

Looks to be located at the monorail station either where the waterpark is, or at the front of the park, so maybe they are removing COTD soon. Do you have a source for this information?

No photos, but I'm down at the Broadwater and the framework and stair well for the old slide is currently being taken down, with a massive crane on site

Today's update:

Here's my first update after getting back from my trip. Wow, it does look awesome, and standing right under the loop and first drop really shows how height these are, because photos don't really show it. Something I noticed, which I don't think have been posted about, is the supports for the first drop are now all in place, just the tracks to be installed, and you can really get a sense of how steep it will be now. Plenty of progress for the station too, which seems to have progress quickly. Few more parts have arrived in the carpark and still a few supports for the lift hill. And here's some of photos of the loop And how the first drop supports looks with the surrounding rides

I completely agree @Locke. I saw the loop and lift hill supports for the first time today, after not seeing it in person for a month. And pictures don't show the true scale of the loop especially. It is so much bigger than I thought.

My guess will be it will connect to the carpark, front entrance to MW, and they will lay a pathway along side the coasters fence, and connect it to the one in front of GL.

And we can also see here where the bridge links between the coaster and TopGolf

The event has now been extended to July 16. Source: MW website

@Adventures With JWorld They must of done a reasonably good job at convincing people considering the event sold out. I much prefer this name to the previous, Thrillathon just didn't sound right to me, while Extremeworld has a much better effect.

So if you've been wondering why I haven't been providing many updates lately, that is because for the last month I've been out of the country travelling. And this week I've been exploring Singapore. Before I go into my review, I must say what an amazing country Singapore is, and if you haven't been before, I highly recommend it. Beautiful public spaces, amazing architecture and so much to see and do. Today I visited Sentosa, where Universal is located and as some of you may know, this is only the second one I've been to, with Japan being the first last year. Before visiting today, I was aware that Singapores park wasn't as big as Japans with less rides and attractions, and I'll try not compare the two too much. What was great was all the rides at Singapores park were different to the ones in Japan, so all the rides I'd be experiencing for the first time. Onto the review: I arrived at the park at about 10:15, just after the opening, with a fairly short queue to the ticket booth. However a much much longer queue to enter into the park. Thankfully this didn't take too long. I headed down through Hollywood, and then right through New York. These being the Main Street for the park, they were full of references to films, stores and a few alley walls which were very well detailed. I then went into Sci-Fi City and went on the first ride, Battlestar Galactica: Human. With loose items not allowed into the queue area, I went to the lockers, which I was gladly surprised were free for a certain period of time, with a small fee to follow after that time period (This was a similar situation for all rides that didn't allow loose items or bags, with each rides free locker time varying depending on the rides queue time at that point). The queue time was about 40 minutes, with the loading and unloading being reasonably efficient. As the queue was growing while I was in the line, it was decided that the second train would be brought out, so we had to wait about 5 minutes while this procedure took place, with that particular train having to complete a couple of test cycles before being used. The coaster was good, especially with the unexpected launching lift hill half way up, it had some good forces and sharp twists and turns throughout. From here I went to the Transformers ride, which I will say, was great. Having loved the Amazing Spider Man ride in Japan, I was delighted to see this ride had a similar system, particularly with the rides vehicles. The experience these provide and use of 3D screens, fire, water, fans, sound and movement of the vehicles is awesome, and definitely one of my favourites. I then went to the Ancient Egypt area to ride what I've wanted to go on for a long time, Revenge of the Mummy. I had high expectations for this ride as I'd heard so much about it, and they were definitely meet. If you haven't been on it before, I'd describe it as Scooby Doo on steroids. The queue was very well done, and felt like you were in a tomb, the trains, despite not looking it, were comfortable. The ride itself was awesome, and at a few moments caught me by surprise. The story told was good, and the sudden animatronics appearing were great, and use of fire really added to it. But the best part was the dark track section. After being launched, you go into this crazy, kick ass coaster section where you don't know which way you are going next, with tight turns and airtime. After some lunch, I went to the Far Far Away area. A greatly themed area, based around the Far Far Away Castle from Shrek 2, there is also Shreks swamp and a few other references throughout the area. The castle held the Shrek 4D adventure show, which I hadn't seen since the MW days, and was nice to watch it once again. I then went and watched Water World, which I had seen in Japan, but couldn't understand anything they said then, so was nice to watch it in English. I really do love this show, and could quite happily watch it over and over. The interaction with the crowd is great, it's funny, and it's got some great stunts and special effects in it. I then went to the Jurassic Park: Rapids Adventure ride. I loved the ride in Japan (which was the normal boat one, and is one of my all time favourites), so I had some expectations for this one, and was interested to see how it worked as a rapids ride. It was a good ride, but not as good as I hoped, it had the usual elements and story line, but the finale to it was a let down, without having the suspense built, and then the T Rex appearing from behind the smoke towards you, followed by the massive final splash down. This version had an elevator, about 10m up, with the T Rex above, not really moving, and then then the drop. I knew as a rapids ride, the rafts wouldn't be able to the massive normal drop, just hoped for a bit more. I then went and did a couple of the smaller rides, such as Madagascar: A Crate Adventure, which was essentially a river ride. Then the Canopy Flyer, a small suspended style coaster, over the Jurrasic Park area, and then Lights, Camera, Action stage show, showcasing how a hurricane storm would be filmed in a studio with all the action happening live in front of you, which was pretty cool. I then finished the day off with a ride on the Battlestar Galactica: Cylon. This was a great inverted coaster with plenty of twists and inversions. Again the launched lift hill was great and overall it was a really good coaster, and I preferred this over the Human one. Overall I had a great day, and despite it being a smaller Universal park, it was really enjoyable with some solid attractions, which was I glad I could finally ride. Stand out rides for me were The Mummy and Transformers. If you ever visit Singapore I do highly recommend a visit to the park.

That is correct @Aimsley81. Due to the parks location and surrounding homes, the park is not allowed to run any rides after 10pm. MW is restricted to 8:30pm because houses are even closer to the park.

Thanks for the update. I must also add, how amazing and beautiful these photos are with the sky

From DWs Facebook: Tickets for our Park After Dark: Thrillathon event are SOLD OUT! Have fun tonight everyone! Don't worry if you missed out this time - tickets will go on sale soon for our next event held on 29 July. Stay tuned for more details to come.

Well MW don't say it's the fastest or tallest coaster, they refer to it as being the fastest, tallest, longest and only Hypercoaster in the Southern Hemisphere

I'd say it is white lions again

September would be a good time to reopen, with it being school holidays, so that would be a time to promote its reopening, and maybe even the mine ride, and vintage cars. And the seat belts seem like a smart choice for them to make, so maybe we will see new boats for them, or they'll attach them to the original ones

I doubt they'd do that, I assume that they have removed the grass because it was fitted around the plant boxes and required completely relaying

It used to have the colour strip around the top, but now it's just the red lights at the top. But I've driven at night sometimes and the red livnts aren't on at all
