Im at Dreamworld today, checking out the maintenance on the Wipeout, and they seem to be repaiing the wave.

Would you be able to take some pictures and post them? Thanks

Was at SW on Sunday, no surprise but the Skyway was not operating for guests... It was being run but signage stated "Due to ongoing improvements" it was closed.

Not sure why WNW has Wavepool maintenance on their page, has been working the 4 times I've visited in the last 2 weeks.. Tornado is looking pretty schmick in parts.. like it's had a coat of gloss.

What exactly is going on with wipeout? I know they're fixing it up. But I've heard people on this forum say they are moving it. Is it true?

Yes. It's moving out the back with the vintage cars. Surveys showed that the majority of people who rode Wipeout would also ride the Vintage Cars. So they are moving them together and since there's no space to put the cars in next to the Wipeout, they had to move Wipeout.

Sarcasm overload.

This is why People get confused. There are always people saying things then others turn them into jokes. I know yous are having fun and all but it does get confusing.

Awesome. Will there be a re-theming?

Any words on a replacement ride?

With the wipeout being moved and the reef diver being removed could that mean a larger attraction? I hope it's a coaster!!

But everyone just assumes I'm being sarcastic with this. Wait and see people. Wait and see.

The ride will be re-themed to a dust storm to spice up the vintage cars a bit. The cars will go through a tunnel at the point where the queue path overpass crosses the ride.

Replacement ride is yet to be confirmed.

Not likely to be a coaster, but will not be a spin-n-spew.

oh for crying out loud... next thing you know Zacsta posts it on facebook to his friends, all his friends talk it out at school, one of them tells their parents (who work for the Gold Coast Bulletin) and then it's in print.

Seriously, enough is enough!

Oh for goodness sake, Wipeout is just getting a facelift. New paint job, new parts, new motors and hydraulics, new seats and the water is returning. It will be open back up in the same spot with a new refreshed look. Thats all there is to it.

I'd love it if the water cannons made a return. I've only seen them operate a handful of times, but definitely added some extra "wow" to the ride.

Yep they were really good, operators did it if they could be bothered. They've been disasembelling the wodden jetty thing that they built back in 2007 when they got rid of the water to cover the water jets so they may be coming back, we will find out soon enough!

I just asked what was going on. Is that too much to ask?! I asked because I've heard stories about the wipeout being moved and stories about wipeout being repaired but staying where it is. All I asked was for someone to let me know what was actually going on with the wipeout.

Yes. Yes it is.

It's being repaired as discussed previously in probably this thread. Just have a read through it. And the other threads where the pics are posted.

Here's a 'before' photo I found from 2010. Let's see what happens.

Dreamworld might actually be doing something right for once!

Zacsta - I wasn't having a go at you, I was asking everyone else to stop with the bullshit sarcasm as it obviously wasn't clear enough that they were joking.

Does anyone have any pictures of Wipeout and Sea Viper at this stage?

This is the latest one I have seen, if you zoom in you can see them painting the wave a new blue colour.

Oh ok. Sorry

If anyone is at Dreamworld during the weekend or whenever would you be able to take some photos of Wipeouts rebuild/refurb progress and upload them here? Thank you muchly!

I know one member who is down there at the moment with his significant other, but not sure if he is checking his phone at this point (and have no doubt he would take photos if there was something new to see anyway)
