That honestly looks computer enhanced, just take a look at the people around the claw and their shadows etc. And no, there would have been no way they got that photo unless they used one of the Skyreach booms because the cameras fitted currently for the claw queue are only on the buildings sorrounding (only about 5 metres high).

Have Dreamworld ever added a new thrill ride one year after the next?

TOT 1997 GD 1998

Tower of Terror would really be considered a 1996 addition. It was construction delays etc. that pushed the opening date back by a month. The two attractions were 23 months apart, which is good enough for me to be considered two years.

I've just looked at the park map and judging the angle the photo is from, my guess is that Hussy's photo was taken from the chairlift using a big zoom. There is probably something in the way that everyone knows about but seeing as I haven't been in to the park for 10 years you can't really blame me. "The Bus is now leaving for Sir Thomas Blamey Square, ACT"

Nah bussy, they got the helicopter to fly really low, and the photographer opened up the door, and took some snapshots. I'd keep going on, but I'm still feeling the aftershock of going on the claw too many times in one day.

Maybe because of the new CEO and new management also parks can always change there cycle as to when they get new rides, If dreamworld where staying to the old ways then Claw should have opened on Boxing Day this year not September.

Well going back to what I said it makes perfect sense for DW to add a ride next year even after opening The Claw. The Claw is not exactly a MAJOR attraction in terms of extreme expenditure and its a good length of time after Thunderbolts removal to make a significant impact. Only question is how big and what type of coaster it will be... as for the answers to that why don't we all just wait a while and see what happens as opposed to another 3 threads being started speculating on it

Is there any word as to what type of coaster their building? BTW Jozz i meant a vekoma SLC like leathal weapon, i have nothing against reptar but...

I'd like a launch coaster, particularly an inverted one at that. Once when my computer starts to operate again, I'll do up an idea I've had for some kind of launch coaster on the thunderbolt site in no-limits.

is a launch coaster like ToT but an actual coaster? that'd be wicked, one of those would be cool or a good wooden coaster with an awesome drop.

There are several different types of launches roller-coasters can have. Some are like the lsm (linear synchronous magnets) on the tot, or some are like the hydraulic propolsion methods used on coasters like dragster (go to www.coasterimage.com to get some great footage) and some use a very average air compression system, seen mainly in S&S's power thrust models found at www.arrowdynamics.com (hehe....).

Check out the awesome launch coaster on www.vekoma.com they use a Linear Synchronic Motor, have about 3 inversions and can reach speeds of upto 150km/h. DW would rock with an awesome coaster like that! (not that it already doesnt)

If you were looking for an inverted launch coaster, Intamin would bethe wy to go, they Built Volcano: The blast coaster, a four inversion ride at a paramount park somewhere (cant remember which one though)

Even though DW already has a gyro swing, i was interested to know if you can get gyro swings that do a full 360 degree revolution :confused:

Yes. A carnival type mondial gyro swing called ultra max (?) can be found at mondial.com

Totally agree dude, look guys he said he was shopping around for the right Coaster, so It could be any so there is no point speculating what DW will get just wait till markings or Supports arrive next year.

I'm pretty sure that Derelium goes around as well doesn't it? or did that video lie to me. I still stick by getting a good ol B&M sit down roller coaster. Hell with it, just a clone of Kumba!

Cool, if they are looking , lets all suggest a B&M to them, send a letter. Delirium does not go all the way around.

I really don't think that a few kids sending some letters will sway them when it comes to multi-million dollar investments. Rest assured that Dreamworld are all too aware of the quality of B&M's coasters.

Oh, good, good.

Shopping around for the right coaster?So he's taking a good look at all of them.I really don't want another launch coaster at DW,one's enough)this doesn't mean I have anything against launch coasters).A good,well themed,(not inverted or stand up)with a few inversions and some air time in there.That's a good coaster.

I fully disagree. I think that Dreamworld needs something on the scale of Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm, it's all the main B&M elements with some new stuff thrown in. We need something totally different from the General Public's perspective, sure, maybe not a hydraulicly launched flying coaster, but how about just a normal flying coaster with some great landscape elements like Air thrown in? Now that would be nice indeed. And can you image that running up and down the Game Arcade and the Bumper cars? Now that would certainly make that half of the park look extra special.

I didn't say I didn't want a flyer,it'd would be great;I'll be happy with almost any thrill ride Dreamworld puts in,these are just my preferations. Slick,how did you get colour on your sig?When I selected the colour,it just said Colour and then it had the name of the colour.And as you can see now on my sig it just Colour=Blue,ect.Or does it turn up in that colour to everyone else except me?

The easiest way to go is to highlight what you want coloured, hit the colour button, pick the colour and vwallar! By the looks of things you only have the first part of the code, you need to tell the computer where you want the colour (say green for example) is supposed to finish.

Yeah, DW should build up some more lift hill coasters before its next launcher.
