Trip Report - 20th Jan 07

[Jack607]

Well this was my first ever time going to Dreamworld We left early and got there about 9.30, but the rides were already operating. Luckily there was hardly any people in the park. In the morning I wasn't feeling too well, so I decided to go on Runaway Reptar before I tackle the big rides. Even though it small and not that fast, it was fun but it didn't help my sickness. We went to the Cyclone next. Ok, the first thing about the Cyclone that I didn't like is the queue line. It would be an awesome queue line if it was full, but when there's no-one in the park going around and around is just annoying. Anyhoo, on the ride I was sitting near the front, dreading it, only because I felt sick. To be honest, it was tame and boring. I only liked the loop. After the ride came the second thing I didn't like is the exit line, ITS JUST AS LONG AS THE ENTER QUEUE! That really got on my tits. After Cyclone we went on Reefdiver, which was fun! Then we went on the Claw. The Claw, hands down my favourite ride at Dreamworld. It's so fun! I luuuuuuurv the feeling you get when you whoosh down ;0 so joice! I ended up riding the Claw over and over and over again in the arvo. The Wipeout followed the Claw...and uggh. There was a delay because something went wrong, so we were in the queue for about half an hour. To be honest, I would rather queue up 2hours for runaway reptar then 30 mins for this, it's just not what it's cracked up to be. Although, i do think the shark in the water is cute! good theming as well... After the Wipeout we headed for the rapids, that was fun! GOT ABSOLUTELY SOAKED! then the log flume, soaked again! after that we just did whatever, i didnt go on the tot/gd. it was a fun day! Pro's Clean, friendly staff, very good day out Con's queue's

I went to Dreamworld for the High Schools Breakup party in the last week of school and the lines were Huge!! I didn't think they would've been that big on that week. Also, me and three friends went on the Log Ride and got DRENCHED!! It was like we just jumped into a pool with all our clothes on!

[stardust]

yeah the log ride soaks you!! it didn't used to though did it?

[JDB]

I didn't get soaked like that when I went a few years ago, so I thought it'd still be the same but....I was wrong!

Nice report, as if you wouldn't go on GD/ToT though I'm heading down probably in a week or so, hoping all the students will be back at school.

Did you go alllll the way around the cyclone exit line or did you use the emergency exit stairs? they cut a lot of time off the exit line if you go down them instead of twisting your way around and around The thing with the log ride is, it's Summer so you are going to get drenched, same as the rapids. Great report though, sounds like had a lot of fun, even though you felt sick.

i tried to get out the emergancy exit but couldnt oh well..

[dreamworld_rulz]

All you do is just lift up the latch. It's not bolted and there's no padlock. Well the last time i went on it in Oct there wasn't

[lisalila]

Its not padlocked or anything, just lift the latch up. It's the exit where you come out of the cyclone, you go straight, right, straight, right, straight, up the stairs, right and then its the first exit you see there (but its the second exit you see altogether). By the time you get down there the people walking around are only on like the 3rd or 2nd level.

Great trip report. Short but sweet! (I like) It's funny how everybody stares at you because you're going down the emergency exit! And some of them even follow you OR they think twice about going down the normal path. CoasterBoy6

Everytime i use the emergency exit and peeps are walking past i always say "See you later enjoy your walk"

[lisalila]

We had a couple of people from Germany ask us if we worked at Dreamworld because we were using those stairs lol. Yeah sure, we were just testing the ride to make sure it was safe! When they were building www my friend and I were going down the stairs and one of the workers called us lazy because we didn't walk all the way around, I said I've got better thing's to do then go around and around when there's an exit right here.
