Yes I think we do AlexB need to get talken about mega truckers, and yes you are right. we are very expensive and it's for a very good reason cause we have a clean record and know what were doing and get the job done write every time but

I think will save this all for another topic that will have to get stared on soon :)

I have been informed that the information about the new thrill ride, wipeout and the rest of the cean parade upgrade, may not be announced until next week because Dreamworld are trying to get the media to come and be at the park when it's released. This is not definite but likely.

Did Dreamworld contact you on Facebook as well?

[themagician]

^Yes they did

Ha many times you do push the reset button and/or turn it off and on again to fix a ride.

[bladex]

do they open a little box next to the queue line and push a big red button the only button on the whole ride?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^^depends on if it's running Windows OSX Android iOS...

The number of times increases exponentially the further down that list you go...

[rappa]

Hehe

Most of the time a Fault will stop a ride but won't shut down a ride so the first thing the operator will be asked to do is try reset the fault to see if it will just 'go away'.

See the difference is storm is new and tower of terror is not so new.

[Reanimated35]

^ OH......... I didn't realise that was the case. Cheers.

Insightful!

Before I post the pictures of Wipeout and the Big 9 ride I apologise about the comment I said about Sea World on Friday.. I will remove the part of post that got me a lot of hate after I post this Anyways on to the pictures!

New Thrill Ride:

The area looks very small I'm guessing it is Power Surge after all..

It also has two operating booths which is interesting maybe we could have some theming to the new ride maybe themed to Kevil Hill?

Wipeout:

The sign is back up and there's a queue line for single riders! Sand makes a return as well but Fluffy The Shark isn't back in the ride (forget to take pictures of the sign and the sand)

[Park Addict 93]

As somebody who often visits the parks alone... Single Rider Line!

Overall very happy with how the Wipeout is looking and the whole revamp of Ocean Parade currently in development.

Do you need another hint perhaps or maybe a re-read of a recent Parkz update?? It's been stated numerous times on the board and in said article on what the new ride will be and it most definitely isn't a Powersurge.

[casey96]

I agree ninja, i think the area is way too small for a sky fly and the two booths is a bit strange. Probably isn't going to be a Power Surge, but you never know. Wipeout's looking good though, although it is taking an awfully long time to get back up and running :/

I love that it has a single rider line! That's one thing the Gold Coast parks are lacking. The amount of times the operator asks for one person to fill a seat, especially when they load gates after the trains have arrived/cycle has ended. It wastes time and adds to slow operations. Then half the operators don't even bother asking. I know MDMC and the rapids have single rider lines but they hardly count considering you need to basically be at the front to access them. I really hope this is a sign of things to come. Imagine if The Claw or SE had single rider lines?

[bladex]

single rider Master race

[downunder196]

Has anyone seen the trip reports from TPR when they did there Aussie trip? We should see if we can do the scavenger hunt thing they did at Dreamworld! Totally out of the blue but anyway.

[Brad2912]

Imagine if The Claw or SE had single rider lines?

Why would the Claw have a single rider queue? It's not like your in a train/carriage and getting odd numbered groups.

[downunder196]

It's no different to Wipeout having single rider?

[bladex]

^^ i beg to differ i've gotten SRP on the claw many times. they do call it

Don't really see a point of it on Wipeout either tbh..

[bladex]

jealous that people will get on the ride before you?

[downunder196]

A single rider line has literally no down side to it. You're not pushing in you're simply filling a seat which would otherwise go empty. Rather than yelling out and looking for a single rider there would be one right there. Easier and quicker for everyone.
