It's good to hear that they have made a list and noticed things that need to be done throughout Dreamworld. Ocean Parade is almost finished and I am very pleased with all the work they have fine so far. If they give the claw a fresh coat of paint and do something about Cyclone I will be a very happy man. A couple of other things that would be good, include: upgrading a few of the enclosures in the wildlife area. And of course replace Eureka, and give the rapid and log ride a face lift.

I don't think a river ride where you go past animals enclosures is a good idea. Rider may not always see the animals. There enclosures won't be overly big because there won't be enough room for a river ride and animals. The reclaimed land may be long, but it isn't overly wide for a river rapid ride to go in one direction and turn go back again. I think river rapids would be good. I think the wild idea is good as well. But together I don't think it is. Just my opinion.

9D Cinema is like a 4D cinema really. It contains different effects along with the film (moving seats, water spray, etc)

^If they did a rapids ride like the Jurassic Park ride I think it would be a great addition to the park. I still believe that there is a chance for the WILD attraction to happen. I would like to see a new coaster to use the land of Sea Viper and the old Pirate Ship land. This could allow for a decent coaster. But if they wanted to build a coaster that was unique, then they would use the reclaimed land. It would be good if they built a kids coaster to fit on the left side of the stream and a thrill ride on the right. We can't forget there is also the small area of land used for Dinosaur Island (I don't know what they could use this section for but I'm sure there is something)

^Yes they did

I have been informed that the information about the new thrill ride, wipeout and the rest of the cean parade upgrade, may not be announced until next week because Dreamworld are trying to get the media to come and be at the park when it's released. This is not definite but likely.

^Nothing was mentioned about the new slide. I do know that there will be a meeting/conference this week (I don't know if media are invited), which will talk about wipeout, new thrill ride and the other refurbishments that have happened in Ocean Parade.

I have been informed by a staff member that we should find out more information about the new thrill ride and ocean parades makeover next week. And there is a high chance that Wipeout will be reopening this weekend or at the start of next week.

^It looks like there is quite a bit of area under the cyclone which has been fenced off. I do hope it has to do something with the second refurbishment.

^I would say that they would put the path back in, otherwise people won't be able to have easy access from the splashdown pools of the RIP and the new slide, especially if they wanted to ride again. At the moment though I can't picture how the slide will go. How will the start of the slide be positioned at the top of the tower. Will it go the opposite way of the RIP or will it start next to the conveyor belt for the RIP, does anyone have any ideas? And if it is a single/double rider slide, I would like to think that the staircase would have to be widened. Unless the slide uses the 4 seater tubes. Then the conveyor belt could be used. If so, that would mean the splash down pool would be linked to the of the RIP. To me this seems like a possibility: Also, Dreamworld have announced that the new food outlets will be pizza, coffee shop (as downunder said) and a sandwich bar.

Yes it was that wheel which was installed in surfers.

The wheel did move to surfers and then I don't know what happened. The one in Brisbane was there before it went to surfers (I think)

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was a great addition though. It offered great views. It was a shame when I first heard it was being rover. But I can understand why environmentalists would want it removed.

It's good to hear that they are installing a slide which hasn't been seen on the GC before. If people do have to carry up there raft, they widen the stairs. I don't see them using the lift them they use for the RIP.

The wheel was 50m high. So why is there a restriction of 30m? So why was the wheel installed if there was a restriction and did it have to be removed due to height?

On the reclaimed land

I can't see MW getting this tower ride when they already have a a tower ride. I think it would be a great addition to Sea World though.

^^If you read the 2014 Dreamworld forum you will find that this was announced a couple of days ago and there is an update on everything to do with this ride and everything else at Dreamworld.

^Wipeoutdreamworldfan is right. If you look to the very left of the photo, you can see a nickelodeon sign.

Just because it says Drop Zone on the sign, doesn't mean it will be it's final name. It might just be hinting what the ride will be.

^and Zombie Evilutuon. The cyclone caused the Flowriders wave to grow to the size of the wipeout. After the giant claw has destroyed the dock, zombies have risen.

You make a very good point reanimated. If people continue to go on these types of rides, why not keep on installing them, with a unique experience to them. Yes, it would be good to see them install a new coaster, or a ride that hasn't been seen on the Gold Coast before but as long as if they put effort into the rides they install, I don't have a major problem with it.

^Agreed. I've been on Pandamonium hard style once and I felt very sick for about 4 hours afterwards. The claw does. Shockwave sometimes does. Reef Diver did. Hopefully if the new ride is a star flyer, it won't spin too fast.

^^This doesn't definetly mean that this is the final statistics of the ride. Someone may have just edited the ride information and put this as their own on opinion on what they believe the ride will be. I do agree and believe that it will be a star fly though.

I drove past yesturday and it still looks like there is plenty of ground work going on. It's meant to open this September. I'm hoping they have a mini tornado, and a mini kamikaze would be good.
