This is what I think they were trying to say: "Hi there, my name is 20mins (when actually it's Trevor A Knott), did you know that in the Inbetweeners 2 movie they filmed it at WnW GC"

Thanks for those photos. It's good to see that WnW have finally decided to put shelters over some of the seating. And it seems like WnW junior will be coming together quickly. On the maintenance page that Buccaneer Bay will be reopening on the 22nd September, so I'd imagine it will be opening shortly after that.

^I would imagine that it is possible. Does anyone know why the fence was raised along there? I have seen images where people used to be able to watch as people go past. Was it due to someone falling in, or people throwing items at riders?

TOT Queue elevators?
^If someone can remember the layout they could just draw over the top of a satellite image showing how it went.

Thrillz also posted these photos: The Claw's paint works is coming along nicely: The River Rapids fence is getting replaced, maybe people will be able to watch riders as they go past again:

Construction is coming along nicely. Theming of the ride is looking even better. Can't wait for this to open.

^^I do agree with you on some points. The path needs to be relayed and different top surface on it so it is more comfortable and doesn't feel as hot in Summer. I could be wrong, but I believe that they smoothed out the slide joints so it is smoother. And its slow because they have to make sure everyone is at the boot because some people go down faster than others. It hasn't been that many years since they changed the slides and tower.

^^Personally I think the river rapids (green slides) are a good addition and are always popular. People of all ages ride them because they aren't extreme, but provide enough enjoyment to people. I don't think they should get rid of any of their slides they are all enjoyable. I would like to see the super 8 racer have an upgrade though. The slide is becoming a bit old now and needs a fresh coat of paint. Maybe make half of it a tunnel, just to add to the anticipation of the race.

The Claw is closed from the 20/08/2014 - 29/08/2014 (Weekdays only). With the refurbishment of Ocean Parade it would have been good for them to relocate/remove the V8 Supercars Redline, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening or isn't a high priority at this point in time.

Does anyone know how much currently un-used land WnW own? (Such as the land to the left of the Kamikaze where all the trees are)

Dreamworld Trip Report 20/08/2014*
Thanks for these photos, particularly the ones of Tail Spin and the Claw. It would have been fine to post them in the 2014 at Dreamworld forum, instead of a new one but I'm not complaining. These are great photos.

That image really tells us a lot about how it will be positioned on the site as we haven't seen many pictures of how the supports are placed. I'm going to guess that the top section of the RIP's queue line will be altered a little for the Triple Vortex. I'm assuming that the first tornado will be facing the wave pool, the section the RIP and the third the right of the kids area. It also looks like the splash down pool will be attached the RIPS. If so does that mean that rafts will go up the lift hill of the RIPS tubes or will people be carrying them up? If I remember correctly the RIPS stairs are a little bit wider than some of the other rides, but if so would they be wide enough for people to carry tubes up (I don't think they will be). If anyone heads down to Dreamworld could they please go into WWW just to see whats happening.

^I don't think they should remove the Tornado. It is a very popular attraction and one I always enjoy. They should put a slide next to Kamikaze though. And when the Zip Line was under construction I thought it was a good addition, but they should't have made people pay for it. They could just make people book a time slot, so it doesn't get overly busy. But now that Constrictor is there will it be used. I've haven't been Constrictor was installed so I don't know what it is like at the start of Zipline. Are the control area, harnesses, etc still there? If they aren't going to use it they should just remove it.

Dreamworld have uploaded an image on FB of what the Triple Vortex will look like. And it is set to open on the 20th September, the same day as Tail Spin.

^Because it costs more to run the waves and I would get sick of waves eventually. I think it adds to the excitement of waiting for them and then when they come everyone is excited. People are always running in when the waves start and leave when they finish. I think it's great to have cycles.

I'm surprised WnW have posted anything on FB or updated their website to feature it (same with MW and the driving school). I have seen try advert on TV saying they are due to open this September. I would expect these to open around the same time as DW and WWW new attractions (if so that's only a month away). So why aren't they updating their website and providing more information about them.

MW Mini Driving School - Officially Confirmed
From what we can see I am really impressed with it all. I like how they have included some elements of rides, such as SE, AA and SDSC. I really like how kids will be able to drive into the SDSC building. The Main Street is really good and extra details and theming with the traffic lights, and No Entry and entry signs are also good. A few other simple elements such as a sign featuring Taz, Scooby-Doo having his ears stick out a little and the Joker. Looking forward for when it opens and we get a good look of it. After removing LTRR, I was really hoping for something good, and at first when they announced this, I wasn't overly keen, but now its nearly finished I think kids will love it and parents will love seeing their kids really enjoying them selves. Good job MW.
