Guys, the parts have arrived in big cargo thingies. :] They are outside to the right.

Woo Hoo *Does a happy dance*

What, near WhiteWater World you mean?

Sort of. Outside the staff entrance. Btw, I'm pretty sure they are the parts, I mean what else would they be?

As in, up near the Security office ? Or sort of on the road near the post box? Just want to know how easy it would be to take a picture of the boxes for archival gallery.

Someone go and take some photos tomorrow. Please

This'll be a great year. 2 parks = 2 new attractions. Doesn't get any better than that.

I was there today, there are 2 shipping containers near the cyclone exit, however they have been there since White Water World's opening. So I'm not sure if this is actually the track but we will just have to wait and see...

I'd love to get pics, but I doubt I can get there. I know Surfside have buses that go to Dreamworld, but TransLink doesn't have where I live on their website. About how long would it take to get to Dreamworld from say Tweed Heads? How reliable are they?

Gee, its a bit much to go all the way from Tweed Heads for some photos of shipping containers. I'll be up that way Wednesday/Thursday so I'll take a couple of pics then. Though If you were planning on visiting anyway, It could be worth seeing if you can your trip to a hub like surfers/pacific fair, and then transferring to a bus to DW. Edit: Ugh that Surfside website is terrible, I love it how the network map is so small its barley readable, and the PDFs are sideways. But you would take bus TX1, it runs from Tweed Mall to Burleigh to Mermaid Beach, and then express to WnW/MW and then DW, it leaves at 8:10 or 8:40 and takes 31 minutes to get there. The return direct bus leaves at 5:10pm assuming you want to stay all day.

Get the TX1 it runs express from Pac Fair to the Theme Parks. It leaves Tweed Heads @ 8:10 AM Translink

I can assure you that there's nothing noteworthy in terms of construction happening at the park right now. There's a huge amount of site preparation and preliminary construction that needs to take place before anything "exciting" arrives. There will be a lot happening in coming months, but don't expect much just yet.

Yeah well it's not really special, shipping containers. I don't know how long they've been there, so I assumed they were for the motorbike coaster :/ Dunno.

Ay, guys did anybody notice another topic about DW's Motorbike Coaster? It was one of those "pay the subscription" ones, so I couldn't veiw it. If somebody knows what I'm talking about, than could you post up what they, meaning other subscribed forum members, have been talking about in that topic. Only if you are a suscriber of course.

Yeah well it's not really special, shipping containers.

I agree. Things only start to get interesting when the parts make it out of the cotainers and onto the ground, and that's when we need pics!! And as Richard said, there is still heaps of ground-work and preparation before all the footers and supports are up, let alone the track. CoasterBoY8

Then what's the point in having a Subscribers-Only Forum if they're just going to tell everyone what it says? I know, maybe you could subscribe, then you would be able to see what it said? See the logic? Easy money!

I do see the logic in it, but there are some people who want to subscribe but cant due to no credit card etc... so it can be a little hard at times.

Our subscribers-only "Subscription Secrets" forum is operated on a strict code that information in there stays in there. Because of our own publishing timelines it's not always possible to release information as soon as it is made available, so this forum acts as a way for us to reveal certain things to subscribers ahead of schedule. We're certainly not descriminating against non-subscribers. If it weren't for this system, information like this would just sit on the backburner until it's ready to be published, which would be a bit of a shame. If you want to stay on the cusp of theme park news in Australia and have the $20 it costs for a year then you're welcome to subscribe and join in these discussions. For those interested, we don't reveal "insider" information (i.e. that obtained from employees/contractors at various levels within the organisation) but rather that which we have managed to obtain from a variety of external, typically public sources.

I'm thinking of subscribing Richard, but, I'm going to have to convince my dad first! Anyway, could you post up what benefits you get from subscribing and where can I subscribe on the website. I would also like to know if the payment is by Paypal. If it is then your in luck! Thanks, CoAsTeRbOy8

Yeah, and are we able to pay in cash or not, due to the fact that I don't have a credit card, and my parents won't let me use theirs. I do think the "subscription secrets" deal is fair as they are showing there support for the site (not that other members aren't) by helping to fund the site upgrades, and paying for year passes so that people can get photo updates which you see on this site.

Spotty maybe ask a member if u can put some money into their bank account so they can pay it for you?

If the shipping containers have been there since the construction of WhiteWater World then I very much doubt they contain the track pieces for Dreamworld's Unknown Intamin Coaster. In unrelated news; subscribe today!

Drove past today. I think those containers have been there for a while now. I will be heading into Dreamworld tomorrow to use the second half of my World Pass, but I think that in the short term they may just focus on re-routing the vintage cars, or whatever modifications they have to make to get this thing prepped to go. Also, just curious, initial rumours and that said it was going to go about 70 - 80 km/h. Considering it will be an Intamin Coaster, do you expect it to launch into a high track piece such as a hump (probably not a tophat because that would be too much like Superman Escape), as a lot of Intamin Launch coasters have, or is it more likely to follow a fairly flat track with some high banked turns like on the Furious Baco or Desert Race? Or better still, what would you prefer, predict or whatever?

I think most of us are hoping for inversions. It would be great to see. Nobody really knows the track design, but I wouldn't rule out a top hat just because there is one down the road. Remember, although this is a similar type of coaster, the way it will be seen is fairly different.

If the containers did have track peices remember with the containers with batwing? we were talking about them more than 6 months before we saw anything on the ride.

I thought the shipping containers were there for a long time... not pieces of the tower... those tower pieces wouldn't of fitted in a container. I though the tower pieces arrive like 3 months before it was finally erected and opened.
