Unless they have changed the design on the front of that coaster it isn't for it as the one in the video has fire on the front while the one pictured is like a rising suns rays. Also the track its sitting on is the same colour as the track found at Dreamworld. Also I found a piece of coaster track in painted in the same red as at Dreamworld. Its at 2:52 the roll part (barrel or heart line don't know what one) of a skyloop.

They are popular films now. Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Transformers 3, and the new harry potter
-
Did you get a look at the track. If so was it a maurer sohne? Any pics of either track would be good.
-
I am surprised that the parks haven't done that yet as it would really help them out. Except I don't think the parks have full control over the attraction when they do that. Also what could sponsor a kids area and pay enough for them to theme it as well.
-
Well Marvel is Disney but I mean like they may of got a contract with Dreamworks (Shrek, Kungfu panda or sony pictures animation (Smerfs, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, how to train your dragon). They are as big as nick was when Dreamworld got the contract with them.
-
Unless Dreamworld had a better deal with another company that may give more attendance.
-
They will have to follow suit with Universal Studios with rethemeing everything. Hopefully it will work out well. Sad to see Nick go but I guess they wouldnt be known by kids in a few years time as many of the shows can not be seen on tv anymore.
-
Any pictures updates of where construction is up to.
-
It is just speculation. With some people saying they know what is happening or have a slight idea but can't tell us.
-
in the plans it has a Rapids River loop on the lazy river. What is a River Rapids Loop? Link to the plans It is number 22
-
The trains are good for me, I fit in perfectly.
-
The pony express is the reason why I don't say Mick doohans motocoaster is bad. The pony express is slower and is very very small and a very basic layout (figure 8).
-
Riddler or the joker themed? Both Batman villains so they would fit in.
-
I emailed Maurer sohne asking what rides of theirs could be completely built for 7 million dollars and they replied with saying that any of their spinning coasters and the basic skyloop. This price includes all costs. So it looks like it is only the basic skyloop or lets hope its a spinning but I doubt it going by the types of steel.
-
I didn't really see what they planned can you please tell me.
-
One thing they should of really looked at was trying to get more international tourists. Since the Dollar has gone up and the new parks in asia. The Australian parks are going to lose most of it international tourists. So they should spend the extra money to make something different and unusual to try and attract people to the park. The ride trains on this are good but the layout is just plain (Basic Model). I hope they at least get the fancy light wheels for when they have screamworld. Also if it is just basic layout why is the Rapids and train closed for construction as they dont seem to be in the way of construction if it is only the basic layout. Plus I hope Maurer has made sure the joints between the cars problem has been fixed. (An issue last year where most Maurer X-Car rides were shut down for inspection for fractures in the link between cars.) Also TPR said that the Extended version was the only one that doesn't suck. In the video I posted before. I guess because the basic skyloop spends most of its time stationary on the lift hill.
-
Well not every ride on HRRR is smooth people have been saying that on a couple of the trains the ride is almost unbearable.
-
They wouldn't have enough money to buy an Omnimover, I'm guess they cost a lot, having so many cars. They could do it like Universal Men In Black attraction in Florida and they could use effects like they had before in the ride.
-
That ride would be cool if themed properly and was not as bad the Universal's one. It would be too rough for a new roller coaster but then again it is still an improvement over the rides we have here already.

The Parkz Update Dreamworld, May 29 2011
CruiseSF replied to Parkz News's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Just to let you know there are no pictures -
yes they do advertise it but not like their signature attraction
-
They may use it considering that they have closed the rapids for construction. Also Many of the parks who use this ride don't class it is a major thrill ride.
-
I have been thinking that too. The short ride is really made for larger parks like six flags which have many roller coasters and people are spread out over them all but Dreamworld doesn't have many at all, so people will go to the 3 roller coasters. Cyclone has a good capacity. The Tower of terror has alright capacity. but these would be worse because they don't hold any more then the tower of terror plus the ride is longer. Unless this isn't a skyloop it will have bad capacity. If it is a bigger track like Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, they could have more then one train, which would give it a good capacity.
-
Maybe Dreamworld maybe getting an extended version of the extended version as it can go up to 1000m long on a custom design. Its not likely but because the footprint of the two pre designed coasters doesn't seem to match any areas in the park. The base one will fit but have a lot of room left around it. The extended wouldnt fit, unless it goes over the carpark. Plus both are under the 7 mil budget.
-
A video of the extended skyloop in action. Looks better then I thought but I would still prefer a longer ride.
