^Thanks for that. Triple Vortex did open today, says it on their website, heard it on the radio and was posted on Facebook.

What I think is great about the ride is how it can be a really enjoyable ride for everyone. Thrills seekers can go crazy on it, while others can just sit back and relax. Looking forward to riding this next time at the park. From what I've seen from photos it is really well themed and fits into ocean parade well. Can anyone say how the parent swap system works? And have TV's been installed yet, for Dreamworld TV? And finally, has anyone had a chance to ride Triple Vortex?

Green Bean Coffee Co. is now open (photos from DW FB page):

^Thanks for that Slick. Looking forward to seeing the video. Are there any other details that we haven't seen through photos that you noticed, which you could tell us about?

^That is a very good point Alex. But if there are a group of people they usually want to go on the same cycle, and say if there are 2 people who want to ride at the same time and only 1 plane left, then that is when the single queue line comes in.

It's great to hear that DW are taking care with the theming and adding minor details, such as a spinning propeller on the signage.

Gates are open at 6 until 10:30pm. Rides are open until 9, except for Scooby-Doo and the mazes which close at 10:30

^I personally think that next year will be a big year of upgrading and refurbishing a lot of the current attractions.

^Especially in the off peak period. I can understand why they would shorten the cycles a little during holidays and on weekends, to ensure the queue line doesn't become to long, but during the week it would be good if they were longer cycles.

Thanks for posting that. Things I like about it: - TV on main street - Moving parts, such as Tweety - Pathway goes around the side, so parents can watch if they don't want to ride. - Characters positioned around the space, such as Bug Bunny coming out of a rabbit hole. Those were just some key parts that I think make the attraction that much better. Thumbs up for MW.

This is from MW's website:

^I understand what you mean. The drawn feel to the maps provide a more realistic feel to the map. But in saying that I like all of the parks maps. They do their job well and are well done.

MW's website has been updated to say it is now open.

DW and WWW's park map have been updated to feature TS and TV. This gives us an idea of where TV's splash down pool is:

The entrance building at WnW is also getting a repaint.

^There is still plenty of testing happening. It opens in one week tomorrow.

That's great to hear it's open. Can you tell us about it? Any parts to it we haven't seen so far?

^Do you work at MW?

As others have said about JL, I would say that MW have had to design the ride to suit the space. But I think its good that they have done it this way because the actual layout of MW wouldn't be as exciting. Down main street go left or right and then eventually come to a dead end and have to turn around and see the same things again. It looks like the way they have done Driving school is so that the roads continuously flow, except for Main Street. But it has been positioned so parents can see their kids driving down towards them, so they can take photos. MW have said that there will be lights on the Roxy Theatre. I hope there are a few other buildings which light up. I think it will be good if there are a few animatronics as well. In a photo a couple of pages back we saw Scooby-Doo sticking his head slightly out of a barrel. It would be good if as kids drove past, he would rise out of it a little. From what I have seen so far I am impressed and think it will be a great addition and will be very popular.

Posted on FB by WnW: Some of you have noticed the fencing and construction happening at Wet'n'Wild at the moment, so we thought we'd share the exciting work being done! Coming soon are some new shade structures beside the Giant Wave Pool for the hot Summer months, we're updating some of our flooring and paint work, and we're improving some of our stores. We hope to see you soon!

MW posted this on FB. They have said that Roxy Theatre will have flashing lights: It looks like there will be a fountain at the beginning of Main Street.

Thrillz Updates: - Tail Spin: http://www.thrillz.com.au/tailspin-construction-9th-september/ - Throughout Dreamworld: http://www.thrillz.com.au/worlds-update-dreamworld-9th-september/ Tail Spin: The large plane has been put in place and the concrete has been painted blue. Throughout Dreamworld: Cameras haven't been installed yet on GD. The timber walkway next to the GD (leading down to log ride) has been lacquered.

It looks like Buccaneer Bay is loosing its name and will become a part of WnW Junior.

Just went past DW and it appeared that the GD gondola had a camera on it. Couldn't 100% tell though, can anyone confirm this.

^Yes and No. It seems the first 3 nights are $30, then the next 2 nights are $40, then the next 4 are $50. It seems strange that they have done this though.
