Wasn't sure where to post this, but I noticed on my last visit to Dreamworld that the exit path material has been changed on Steel Taipan, from the "timber look" decking to a generic black plastic one. I suspect it is due to the fact the old one was slippery while wet, and this one drains the water away better.

SX360 and Dingo racer photos from the top of the Ferris wheel. They are running SX360 on 2 different cycles at the moment - 11.30am to 1.30pm on cycle 1 (1 full rotation), then 1.30pm to 3pm on cycle 4 (3 full rotations, maybe 4 if you get lucky). Staff are about to start training on Dingo racer, hoping for an opening during school holidays early January (info came from a senior ride attendant)

Speaking of the trains, when I was there a couple of weeks ago, there was only 2 people on the ride. Last time they had a minimum of 6 to send the train for weight reasons. When I asked, they said since Gold Coaster, the wheels and running gear was updated, so it now goes slightly faster, meaning it no longer has a minimum. I can say it is faster, can also say it rattles the brain harder than before 😁

The fence at the entrance path now has some cladding on it.

Not that I heard during the launches that they did

They have just done 2 half launches 20210904_150238.mp4
