Comparing photos, just new decals. But certainly looks good, vast improvement.

Cheers! I had no idea. The ride is generally down when I visit.

People keep mentioning the trains, does anyone have any proof of this etc?

they have two trains now (meaning atleast one is new) and they are a bit more restrictive compared to the older ones

When you compare photos of the train there are a few differences visible. Look at the front of the train for example where the wheels are. Colour order of the bikes are completely different too. The harness system is different and more restrictive now. And when I asked a head ride operator for the park about if the ride had got faster (when that info was circulating online) they confirmed it had because the trains were lighter now.

Dreamworld appears to have made a small change to their website to indicate the ride is now called the 'Motocoaster', dropping the Mick Doohan branding.

This coaster has always had 2 trains.

Interested to know if anything for the attraction has changed in the park with the update to the rides name on the website. On my last visit I didn’t notice any signage changes

Mick’s flown the coup from the GC. His compound at Coomera is for sale if anyone has won the lotto recently. I believe one of the bathrooms still has Johnny Depp’s blood on the wall and part of a finger…

I didn't notice any signage changes in the park when I visited on Thursday, but it definitely looks like they've cut Mick Doohan from everything. The website landing page and map have been updated to just say 'Motocoaster'

Probably because Doohan's money is going towards getting his son into F1.

it did at opening but they got rid of it a couple years back due to not needing it anymore.

This is the most ridiculous explanation for something i've seen this year.

You want me to believe DW dropped the 2nd train off at the Helensvale Waste and Recycling centre because they didn't need it anymore?🤣

They don't need to alter the signage to remove Mick Doohan references. It has already become too faded to read.

i'll add that to the list of things that never happened, along with WILD and the return of Dipping Dots

Don't forget the scooby fire eyes.

Do you work for the Courier Fail or GCB as suggesting things like that has you right in their realm of fact checking.

[Brad2912]

Not a great day to head to DW if you like coasters but ST is beyond your thrill ceiling…

not sure if it has been brought up, but Shockwave has had a chain added across the fronts of the seats, im assuming so guests can’t walk off or something? 

the back wall has also been painted to fit in more, it definitely doesn't look as good as the original moral but it’s nice to see the park doing little things to just improve everything overall

[Rivals]

Pandamonium has had seatbelts added onto the bottom of the restraints most likely during its recent maintenance period.

The wedding 

Isn't a wedgie more of a divorce of the cheeks than a wedding between them?
