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

[themagician]

^It looks like there is quite a bit of area under the cyclone which has been fenced off. I do hope it has to do something with the second refurbishment.

[rac2703]

I don't think there is any work happening on the cyclone, the temporary fencing is there as a result of the construction of the new slide.

What part of the parks do you want to see? I don't think a single picture of each park will reveal much.

[Reanimated35]

It was just more of a general overview of the parks themselves now, mainly to see how the new construction footprint at dreamworld fits in, then just general overviews of the others.

Apart from the fencing going up, I was thinking of the wrong area of track. I thought it was the storage sheds but I remembered that was behind wipeout

[rac2703]

Here is the Wipeout and new ride construction zone as of 25 June.

The Big Brother compound is also being worked on in preparation for the 2014 season.

thanks for the wipeout and the bb house pics

G'day names jake

Use to be a member of roller coaster.com.au a few years ago And been reading the parkz forms

For a while now and Thought mite as we'll make an account and yeh anyway, I work for HHA "heavy haulage austraila" and over herd a few of our trucks drivers at work, at smoko today saying that they've got a couple of wide/long loads going in to Dreamworld in next couple of weeks coming out of Brisbane docks and that's all I herd will let you's know about more once I find out more

[Reanimated35]

Welcome.

I like you because of the information you may provide, but I don't like you because your company has sponsored 2 crappy v8 teams so far

[Jakev8]

The compeny any good, but walkingshaw racing are doing us really good at the moment looks like nick percat could get us a win this year compared to Tim slides "no podium win" last year.

Hey Jakev8 thanks for the interesting news.

Off topic a bit but were you a part of the Foxtel series that was filmed at HHA? And did they end up filming more stuff for a second series of it as thought the show was quite interesting

[R2GFifa]

I went to Dreamworld yesterday, and the situation was pretty woeful. Food station near Mick Doohan was closed for an unapparent reason, TOT2 was closed after 45 mins in line and obviously the Wipeout was still closed. Pandamonium also had an issue with getting the harness to lock around an overweight man. This took 10 minutes in itself to sort out. That left 5 of the major rides that were functioning correctly. Although there were the other smaller rides I just ended up leaving at about 12

Just to clarify Tower of Terror 2 broke down

Thanks to Rac2703 for helping me out!

I'm pretty sure Dreamworld has more than 7 rides (if 3 were down as stated, and only 4 left functioning).

Yeh I was on mega truckers for onley about 25seconds washing a truck in the background lol, about season 2. Filming should start in the next couple of weeks from what i'v been told, but you never know John likes to change his mid a lot and

We have over 125 trucks now so yeh compared to onley having about 20-30 trucks in 2012 when season 1 was filmed.

Is never open on weekdays (non-school holidays). Not enough visitation to support opening down that end

[themagician]

I have been informed by a staff member that we should find out more information about the new thrill ride and ocean parades makeover next week. And there is a high chance that Wipeout will be reopening this weekend or at the start of next week.

[Red Ruby]

Really that is so exciting do you think we will get any info about the new water slide hope so

[themagician]

^Nothing was mentioned about the new slide. I do know that there will be a meeting/conference this week (I don't know if media are invited), which will talk about wipeout, new thrill ride and the other refurbishments that have happened in Ocean Parade.

[Red Ruby]

I really hope that they will just come out and tell us because i want to know what it is. does anyone remember how long it was between when they announced pandemonium as the big 8 and when they announced what it actually was. because they may have similar times.

Please take a breath and find the full stop. It's very hard to read.

Oh ok thank you! It was packed in the other food stores though, there were around 40 people in each of the 8 or so lines!

[Brad2912]

40 people in each of 8 lines? So 320 people lined up for food?

Was either the busiest day in the history of the park, or you have a great imagination

Meanwhile, at the Dippin Dots stand

My imagination is amazing ! Ok I probably did overexaggerate... A LOT, but there were heaps of people in the line
