2014 In Dreamworld - Tail Spin construction, Wipeout refurbishment, Triple Vortex construction

[Brad2912]

Hey guys, I saw there's lotto later this week. I might not buy a ticket as I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I'll let you know if I end up entering.

Lol

I'm pretty sure we've discussed previously why they can't just 'repaint' the slides.

it's not paint. The colour is moulded into the slide piece. What they need to do is either pick colours that won't look as atrocious when faded, or go with something that offers better UV protection.

You can definitely repaint...Tornado at WnW was done recently and looks new.

Saw the Tornado from GL today and I gotta say, it's looking almost brand new. That's why I brought it up, since Wet 'n' Wild was looking pristine while WWW looked almost unkept

it's not that bad.

Thanks goodness for that! It looked terrible. It had almost disappeared

Here's what you've all been waiting for... on-ride POV footage and my best Jeremy Clarkson impersonation yet.

Wicked video mate and looking down from there ocean parade looks so good with all the new colours and stuff

Is it easy to spin yourself?

[Louis.sayer3]

Lets have a ballot to see who is going to the launch on Saturday....

I for one am not. Sadly

[Slick]

Is it easy to spin yourself?

Sort of, yes.

It takes a few rotations to suss out, and a bit of practice to maintain the spin.

[lolman123]

looks like great fun. for me, i think it's a great addition to ocean parade and has been given a theme that suits the area quiet well. Pat on the back Dreamworld. Keep it up. can't wait to ride for myself.

[bladex]

gah can't go on friday now to some family issues that have popped up.

[XxMrYoshixX]

I'm going in January. Tail Spin and Triple Vortex are looking great!!

Now Cyclone will look more crowded?

Ocean Parade is going to look very different.

[Slick]

Here's some photos from the media call yesterday. Hope you folks enjoy!

This ride definitely took me by surprise - it's a whole heap of fun.

If you ride it, bring friends. You'll be able bet on how many barrel rolls/who vomits first.

Plenty of detail to be had.

Incredibly pretty much?

Ready to ride?

Triple Vortex also opens Saturday.

Provided the weather stays clear it'll be a slide you won't want to miss.

I've posted some more of my thoughts on Tailspin here. It's definitely surprising and comes recommended.

Why would cyclone look more crowded?

[bladex]

that triple vortex looks insane! will be way more cooler than the boring constrictor wnw has

[downunder196]

Anyone else here get a ticket to Screamworld on the 26th?

[XxMrYoshixX]

Cause triple vortex goes around that sidewinder inversion. (That's what it looks like in the photo) and also bladex I agree about how rubbish constrictor was. Waited three hours for that! Wasted so much time

[bladex]

^also you can ride the TVT alone

[downunder196]

Triple Vortex goes nowhere near Cyclone... and I'm fairly sure it'll be 1 or 2 person tubes.

[XxMrYoshixX]

It looks like it from that photo, sorry bout that.

[bladex]

lol they should have done a rct and put it going right through cyclones loop

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Triple Vortex Tripe?

Triple Vortex Triple?

Triple Vortex Tortex?

[BigKev]
