I think both rides have separate pick up points/storage areas for the rafts. For TOH its right beside the stairs and for Rippers its under the orange and purple slide: http://www.parkz.com.au/photo/AU/Gold_Coas...le_Rippers.html I guess it works off the assumption that if you go through the whole queue at ground level you exit the queue right where the pick up point is. There are indeed signs, look closely and you can see two sets of them to the right of the pick up point for the rippers. Did you and Missy Higgins get your rafts from the same place? PS, when are we gonna see your moto coaster review?

^The idea of those things at the bottom is that you grab a different tube depending on which thing you line up in. I am pretty sure there are signs up as well, but it might have been hard to see in the dark? Cheers for the report though, sounds like a good night. Hopefully, WhiteWater World does then more often.

I had a look today and didn't see any. I might have been blind though LOL. EDIT : Added Gazza's post.

Yeah we did. I rode it yesterday and it was awesome. We stood in the front row queue and there was about 7-10 peeps in front of us. The ride slows down which is a bummer but that's DW for ya. Rode it again today but due to an accident it was shut down for about 40mins. The line up was at the top so we pushed into the single rider queue. We also went back to WWW today which got packed later in the day. The TOT was packed as well that's how we got on the moto coaster.

That certainly is a deviation from the consensus, lol wanna explain that one? How did it stack up against the other rides at DW, and the other rides on the GC?

It an awesome ride at the start but then the novelty wears off as it slow down. Needs a bit more kick though. The other problem is the kids queue area. They have 2 side car lines which the ride op's get confused.

Theres a single rider line? There wasn't one there yesterday?

Didn't think so either... Last time I went, there was the regular line, sidecar line & front seat... Maybe they killed the front seat one?

Yes there was because i asked Missy if she wanted to go line up in it and she said no. It's called "single rider and side car" It's the line closest to the entry ramp.

It didn't say that when I was there but oh well.

Recently they have occasionally been getting single riders to line up in the 110cm-130cm side car line of the MDMC. This is done for 2 reasons, 1: one of the trains has a faulty bike where the restraint system doesn't work so they aren't currently using that bike, 2: occasionally there is not alot of parents and children waiting for the side cars meaning there are 2 bikes at the back left empty. Also to let you guys know, it's best for people who are 5'10 or taller to remove their shoes, it allows the rider more leg room, so they will fit better and the ride will be much more comfortable. Also sitting as far back on the seat as possible and placing your feet as high up on the foot rest as possible also allows for a far more comfortable ride.

Faulty trains? At Dreamworld? How preposterous!

Another night whitewater world this friday, wonder if it will be packed out due to the holidays..

I managed to get free tickets and went tonight. Wasn't packed and was a great night out. First visit to the park and was impressed. Be even better with some more slides/additions. Can say everything was well worth the wait to ride.

I went also. It was quite busy, probably worse than the first time i went a few months ago. Wait time for most rides was around 20 mins or so. Still had a fun night!

20 minutes is great though. Much better than what you'd expect at a Screamworld. \

Really? Wow.. we didn't even get time to ride every slide once. If wait times were any longer it wouldn't have been worth going in my opinion. They had serious issues with the lockers throughout the night also. Everyone got let in around 6:30pm, but they couldn't get the lockers to 'reset' until about 45 minutes later. Then when we finally got a locker, ride a few slides and went back to get our wallets to buy some food the lockers weren't opening for anyone. Yet again they were on the phone to someone to try to sort it out... another 20 minute wait and we were able to open our locker. Still had a fun night though... but i felt they should know how to reset the lockers by now, they've been doing these night time events for a while.

I got there around 7:30-8pm so obviously must have missed out on the locker problems. Only other time I went to them was to get everything out of them. Were the queues really that bad? I got to do everything at least once. I must have been lucky or better planed my choice of slides and when I done them.

I just noticed the next WhiteWater World on 22nd January is now being advertised on the park website. I am surprised they aren't planning to hold more of them over the summer including some in December as they did when they originally started it. I remember reading a recent Ardent Leisure financial report where they mentioned they would be looking to hold more of these night events in an attempt to increase revenues. I wonder what's made them seemingly change their mind?

^I don't get why they can't just be good like WnW, and open the park every night in the height of summer. I mean, WnW wouldn't be opening if there wasn't any money in it, so there's a way to increase revenues right there.
