Did Dreamworld do anything to the lake, or was it just the change in weather?

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

When I was there on Monday the river was very clean.

BREAKING NEWS!!Wipeout is up and testing at the moment! Will post pictures when I get home.

Are you home yet?

[casey96]

Haha sorry I completely forgot I'll post when I get back today definitely.

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

Good to hear

I'm praying it opens on Friday because I fly back to Newcastle on Saturday haha

[Gary86]

^ Dreamworld said that it won't be open by Friday but will open this month. How exciting.

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

I spoke to the engineers working on it on Monday that they are trying to have it open Friday, if not Saturday. Dreamworld also told me through Facebook the same thing before that so they are saying different things, not surprising as they have a lot of different people running the Facebook page. The painters last day was today he said it was just final touches and testing to do, they were installing the motors and all the technical stuff then and they were testing yesterday.

And someone said that the pathway is all finished now, so it seems all they need to do now is testing. Depending on how it does will depend on when it opens. I would expect it to open on Monday at the earliest.

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

Oh well if it doesn't open Friday or Saturday it is better than not having it up to scratch and fully tested and fully done.

Still waiting... haha

Okay for some reason my computer is not letting me upload image to the website. I have no idea why. Sorry WipeoutDreamworldFan

Haha never mind figured it out. Sorry for the crappy quality it was hard to actually get it while it was moving.

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

Great pictures, it's getting very close now, even considering this was 2 days ago

[joz]

Did they finish painting the counterweights?

[WipeoutDreamworldFan]

When I was there on Monday they weren't finished. The painters last day was yesterday so he probably finished them yesterday unless they aren't going to paint them at all... Unless someone is going today and can let us know. I am going tomorrow however so will let you know.

any1 know if they changed the sequence or is it the same?

Did they finish painting the counterweights?

When you say - finish painting - do you mean there was a spot on the ground it was resting on they didn't paint (which I can't see in any of the photos), or do you mean the weird but geometric shape around the centre?

If it's the first - I didn't realise they hadn't painted it.

If its the latter - i think, based on the shape, that it was left that way intentionally.

Casey said they were slowly moving it around on Tuesday... it wasn't a cycle. However if someone has gone today for a look they could tell you, tomorrow I am going so I'll let you know if I see it going.

I kind of really want Dreamworld to add the water feature back to the ride but I am not getting my hopes up too high.

[Tim Dasco]

Sorry 218. Could the fact that they said 2009 likes be a clue.
