It's a regional dialect.

Indeed, nice to have some variety compared to Scenic Railway or Wild Mouse.

It's actually kind of cool seeing a big deal made out of an opening day!

Nice little rundown of the install of the ride.

But the 1st train should be out of the station on DCR before the 2nd one gets back, so the station block is clear. If the train didnt have to fully stop on the brakes it wouldn't have to crawl on the last turn.

Space mountain is a bit more gentle than your average wooden coaster though.

Train is on the track and looks like they are getting all the systems up and running: https://www.facebook.com/gumbuyaworld/videos/1544797515963915

Roughly the bottom quarter of the tower is covered in white primer now too.

And we have some new photos of construction today too thanks to @Luke https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/supanova From the video, the layout: Compared the original design: Happy that they made the the final drop the same size as Gravity Wave, looks much better. The flying saucer looks a bit supernova-ish too.

Does anyone else reckon they will do flowing water on the roof of the Trident queue?

If you include the first drop, I count 14 airtime moments 😁

Wouldn't the station be in the same location as every other SFC 450 clone?

Surley you'd put them on the main street and event centre roof, and then after that maybe over the car park?

It can be, but you need a light sabre shop, droid shop, cantina etc.

Aww man, Mack loopers are awesome.

The track is complete https://www.leadstory.com/v/two-new-roller-coasters-are-being-built-at-gumbuya-world-2022112311?fbclid=IwAR3ZmLcPpAW3dxbeJRC0E66TLACcM7dzSlBUtp49mtlEzig4CcfogjC0MQs

Oh yeah for sure. The one at USS is kind of lame because you don't even control the acceleration. Needs to be "push a pedal and it goes" type deal. Side point, does anyone even make petrol vintage cars anymoree?

Maybe I'm uncultured, but a couple of the Metalbau car rides I did earlier I thought were quite 'nice'. I think the theming is more important than the propulsion system. https://www.parkz.com.au/attraction/dino-xpedition

Lets be honest, no park is going to install a new petrol powered ride in 2024. For me, if its a car ride where you get to steer a bit either side of the rail rather than strictly following it that's a win at least.

Depending on the layout, you could make it half and half, and have the turntable at the midpoint so its balanced. Depends if the first half or the latter half is better backwards though. It's a cool concept. Panic Coaster Back Daaan does something like this with its layout, but you go around twice so you every train starts the same way.

So is it something like this? Train can leave either fowards or backwards, and then the turntable connects into the main course with a transfer at the end to get it back into the station? Or just a singular turntable and every 2nd train faces backwards?

For the Big Red Boat, notice that the track has a bar in the middle. Does anyone else think it could be powered? And is this supposed to be a drive wheel?

I've already put in the database as a new attraction. New ride hardware, new course. I'm guessing it would have to be electric with fake engine sounds, just about every new car ride has this.

Why do tigers need a performance though, as opposed to other animals? Eg if it was Lion Island or Rhino Island, you wouldn't expect that right?

Yeah thats what im thinking, Murrisippi Motors sounds 'bush', Jungle Rush is obviously 'jungle' so curious as to what the vibe of the area will be.
