  1. Very much a core memory for me, that feeling of hearing it launch and people screaming as you were getting closer to the end of the line. Get put into your row in that little room before the station, then the big doors open to reveal the carriage. Miss it for sure haha.
  2. Single rider was open, it is quite far into the queue though just before the actual loading station. Same area you chose to start forward or backward.
  3. Great feed, chips super crunchy and schnitty is big. Awesome spot to stop for lunch, will be my new go to when here.
  4. Quite busy, about 45 minute wait for jungle rush running two trains. Ride ops are consistent though! Have a few radio pop up gazebos giving out merch. Not even going to attempt the cars. Queue is full. Sadly steel taipan is only running one train, hopefully bring the other out for the boxing day crowds. Hour + wait Trying out the Restaurant for lunch, theming again is great!
  5. Here today for the opening. Enjoyable family ride, such a unique experience switching directions mid ride. Theming is next level, keen to see what they improve in the next few months. Once all the greenery grows in, the area will be even more immersive. Great addition to the park!
  6. Be quite a sight from outside the park too, so tall and imposing over the old buildings. Be interesting to see it from the motorway/carpark
  7. Haven't been in a while, how long has it been since they removed the structure that ran next to the final drop? Looks a heap different.
  8. Was wondering if it may have had a soft opening today, billboard on the M1 just after springwood heading into Brissy was advertising Leviathan with "ride it now". Very excited!
  9. Spinning seat was absolutely insane, I am fine chain running DC rivals backwards but I dont think I can do more than 1 spinning in a day. 100% worth doing but trying to figure out where you are is disorienting and left my head spinning for quite a while after. One second you are facing forward, next second you are upside down facing backwards. I feel we are lucky to have this opportunity to ride something so intense. What a day!
  10. They had walk-ins available today, I managed to purchase one. Hopefully it's the same throughout the soft opening.
  11. Managed to make it to dreamworld this morning for the soft opening, bit of a delay at the start but running smoothly now. Got the second ride of the day in the front seat and wow, I love it. The reverse launch packs a nice punch and the pacing through the ride is fantastic. Second ride was second row from the back and you feel the reverse twist a heap more and I can see myself enjoying the back more. They are cycling both trains and the output is pretty impressive, if you're close by its pretty much a walk on. They are checking annual passes at the ride entrance. Love it.
  12. That explains what this email was last Friday, recieved it at 3:30pm and when I tried to sign up at 4 there were no spots left. Shame, as it's my day off!
  13. I'd say the Mine Ride and Bermuda triangle would be my two main picks. Having said that Dreamworld is going to feel so quiet without the ToT and wipeout. I also miss the Koala Country Puppet Show, fond memories of escaping the summer heat and relaxing in the aircon. I watch the video of it sometimes and the songs stay in my head all day.
  14. Indooroopilly? Had that happen to me a few times, KFC runs out of chicken so head to Guzman next door haha.
  15. Makes sense, especially if they are going with the Goldcoaster name. Yellow for sand, blue for water. Theming based on the ocean?
  16. I spoke to this guy on the Giant Drop a few years ago, if I can recall correctly he lives close by and heads there after work. Funnily enough he was wearing the same hi-vis/shorts combo, was super enthusiastic and nice. Good on him!
  17. After waiting it out for 2 hours, at 4:45 I managed to get on. Somber moment, I remember the day it opened, so glad I got one more ride. Fingers crossed it lasts another day.
  18. Operator says it looks like there's little chance of it running today and tomorrow isn't looking decent either. The few tests it's done it looks like it's reaching as high as it used to back when it opened. Seems like one test run every 15 mins or so at the moment
  19. Can see it being a great addition. Recently went to Waterbom in Bali, and the few towers that had 4+ slides kept my attention for so long. Go on one, oh I wonder what the other ones are like, an hour later and you've finally experienced them all. It draws you in and keeps you coming back. I'm looking forward to them!
  20. That's good to know, was dissapointed when I seen the yellow as it matches to closey to The Hotwheels Sidewinder. Wonder what it's going to be?
  21. After my fourth and final ride for the day, sitting in rows 2 on the bottom and 4/5/6 on top, aim for the middle (2/5) the bottom middle by far was my favourite as you don't see the edge or top of the screens. Have fun all 😊😊😊
  22. Seen quite a few journalists here, guessing once it hits the news station tonight the park will be busy. Getting quite the traction on social media as well. Seems like it has good throughput and will be a great crowd soaker. Welcome addition in my opinion
  23. Quiet today, been on it three times, hit up every other ride once and tower of terror 6 times, haven't waited more than one train on any ride.
  24. Great theming, pre show a little long which after the second viewing is a bit much but at least there's aircon..
  25. Really enjoyed it, sat on the top gondalas right on the edge. I'm thinking the middle bottem will make for an even better ride so going to attempt to get those seats.
