The thing thats going to take the longest is letting any greenery grow in.

Ideally they can get that in the ground sooner than later. Spring does winders for plants.

Murrissippi Motors still no station.

No need to worry anymore, they’ve started installing the roof structure for the station

@themagicianI'm even more worried.  The level of theming DW promised us and bones of the ride still aren't completed.  Track isn't completed, no building structure completed and let's not mention the whole ride system that needs to be installed.   Some late night coming up for workers on this one to get it ready.

Got to agree. I now construction can go quick, but it’s still bare bones in there atm. A lot needs to happen quickly. Be interesting if they can pull it off

Frome the outside, you just have to compare MW to DW construction photos, to see how far DW is behind MW.  

DW hasn't completed one building.

MW hasn’t had to build anything on the scale of Jungle Rush. Rivertown will be more immersive and most of what needs to happen seems like cosmetic features. Not to mention for River Town, guests will actually be able to walk around the rides, whereas at MW, I’m pretty certain the area will be heavily restricted.

The path\track looks pretty complete from all the photos we've seen so far. just needs a guide rail which won't take long to install. 'whole ride system' is a bit of a stretch given the ride type.

Not to mention that Dreamworld is still confident for a December opening. When you think about the progress they've made in the past two weeks on Murrisippi Motors, I'm pretty confident myself they are on track to opening. We can also see that JR is almost complete, so they can focus most of their attention on the ride now. I'm really excited to see the plane put in from the concept art.

You would be wrong if you believe the track is complete.

You know how the cars are going to operate & what keeps them powered up all day?

[Narra]

When Harry flew a drone over in early August you could see what looks to me like a bit of test track outside their maintenance sheds, cars might already be on site being tested back of house

[New display name]

@Narrathe cars will still be tested on the new track, once  it's completed.

ok fair enough. still some concrete to pour. Track pour won't really hold them up from commissioning the station though, if that section is completed.

If it's anything like the install in Singapore, the guide rail has a bus bar, similar to the monorail.

Keep drinking the cool aid mate. They have changed their wording in most of their recent digital content to "we're hoping to still have it opened" or "we're aiming for late December still". That doesn't fill me with much confidence.

We're seeing barely any paid media advertising around the new land, and the only reason that is, is because they don't have confidence in any date yet. We've seen more for a ride that isn't opening till 2025.

JR is "almost" complete physically, but they haven't even started cycling the attraction yet. They will need to do a few thousand cycles before it's compliant. To my understanding that can't happen until the attraction is finished physically, including scenic.

There is easily a few months of work left overall, they're seriously pushing it to have it completed this year imo.

Steel Taipan did about 40,000 cycles in its first year. So by your logic of a few thousand cycles, Jungle Rush won’t be opening until Easter.

The actually number I believe varies between manufacturers and ride type, but I’d only expect Jungle Rush to do a hundred or so test cycles.

Scenic you mean theming?

Leviathan was testing before theming was completed.  It tested at night while building work continued during the day.

Not at all the case. Jungle Rush is already testing and the temple still isn’t even closed up yet. It might not be doing full circuit testing, but it’s doing station and maintenance transfer testing, which is all a critical part of the process. Kansas Twister has started testing at Movie World and that’s certainly not done.

Steel Taipan and Rivals both needed 1000 cycles before being complaint and able to operate with guests. It's set by both the state and the manufacture, most have a minimum of 100 hours before running with guests, you can do the math on that.

Correct, at night, within a completed ride envelope. JR doesn't have that currently.

It isn't testing, it's been jogged from the maintenance bay to the station, purely to allow the other train to be installed.

From all the footage we've now seen, it doesn't look like there is any work taking place within the footprint of the attraction, and the fences all look complete...

All very true! But I can’t imagine Jungle Rush will need that amount of testing as it won’t be reaching speeds or forces anywhere near that level. Big Red Boat Coaster opened a couple of weeks after testing began. Obviously a different scale of coasters, but you get my point.

I went back and checked how long Gumbuya World took with TNT, November 30 we first saw trains on track with first testing a few days later, the ride opened 3 weeks later

Steel Taipan began testing mid-to-late October and theming wasn’t near complete yet. Still plenty of time

 

edit: it was September, my bad. 
However, it was reported staff first rode it early November… so still time

It's not just based on the forces the attraction are under though. This also has a large, complex moving element, more than any standard switch track, this will take time and I imagine will warrant a large amount of required cycles too.

As I said above though, it's not JUST about the scenic elements, it's about having a completed footprint. For an attraction to be fully "energised" and operated within QLD it needs a fully secured ride envelope. JR does not currently have that, and would require the build to be further along for that to be completed.

Regardless of that, they still have an attraction that is arguably not even 50% complete, some of which is within the coasters footprint, and also forms part of the main entrance of this land. I truly struggle to see this being opened in 2024.

Manufacturer, yes. State, no. 
there is no hour based requirement. Only state requirement is manufacturers recommendations are met 
 

id like to know where you pulled 1000 cycles for ST and DCR from. I believe it was substantially less.

Only thematic elements within a certain clearance of the track need to be fully in place prior to test cycles to be completed
