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

The vortex closed in 2009, maybe they're putting it back in

that's not a spin and spew it's a spin and stick

If the number is a code, I would expect the 09 part to just mean Thrill Ride 9. I don't know what the 20 part would be.

Maybe the name might return?

holy hell spin and spew all right if it really is going to be on them flyers!

[themagician]

In the background of the photo you can see them testing the Wipeout as well.

Also, I haven't noticed this on the other thrill rides, but do they all say on the safety sign "High Thrill Ride". If not, is it hinting something.

^^ Wait, you're shocked to learn dreamworld is adding another spin-n-spew?

^ Yeah that all have that type of signage

By looking at the slab of concrete do people have any idea of what ride this could be?

[downunder196]

It's going to be a long night waiting for 2009 likes...

[themagician]

^Yep. It's almost been an hour and they have almost got 1000 Likes. Maybe in a couple of hours.

no i meant how friggin awesome is it going to be if it's 1 of them flyers!! definately have to pick up some passes soon.

It's an ordinary way to announce a new 'major' ride. Take a note from Holiday World or even a couple of the British parks.

[zacsta_1997]

The sign does say high thrill. It may be a hint and also SPIN in a larger font. Yep it's a spin-n-spew

[downunder196]

That 'hint' has been there for weeks...

[Tim Dasco]

I hope they don't keep doing small clues then every time double the amount of likes. So we need like 20,000 likes for a name of the ride.

[themagician]

I'm hoping the next clue will be the name and a couple of facts about the ride.

[Tim Dasco]

Less than 1,000 to go likes to go. People hear who have not liked the post please do it.

Sorry if I'm a bit slow with this but the cover picture... the parkz update is looking like a good guess.

Also, why don't they announce the ride then work on expanding their audience? They're doing this for nothing other than likes...

NEWSFLASH: MAN DISCOVERS HOW FACEBOOK WORKS! More at 11.

I'm not stupid... but it's such a dumb way to announce something. If they're going to make a big deal of it do it right.

[themagician]

^What do you believe is the right way to do it?

[Tim Dasco]

Like Adventure World did. I think that was a great way to use 3 T.V. reports on today tonight across a few months.

[downunder196]

Look at Holiday World, Alton Towers, heck how'd they announce Superman Escape...

Not really. With a massive amount of the population connected on facebook it's one of the easiest ways to get the word around where people can "share" and "like" the posts and spread the word better and faster than any advertising can do.

I know from running my own page that FB has changed how your posts show in a news feed. For example, I (sadly) only have 20 people like my page. My latest post was seen by 5 people. That's because the ones who have joined don't usually "like" or "share" or comment on the pictures. As a result, FB decides they don't want to see them any more and they're hidden from the news feed.

The more a post is "interacted" with, the more future posts will show in the news feed. So by asking for "likes" it's just ensuring that future posts they make will show in more of the feeds of their followers without having to pay extra.
