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

[themagician]

The_Ninja_59 did you manage to get any photos of Tailspin?

[iwerks]

Yes, they're keeping the turbine theme going! I do like the way they're tying it in to Ocean Parade - beach rescue, perhaps? Shark watch?

It seems like a big year for parks working on their ambience.

[themagician]

I know some people don't, but I have faith in Dreamworld that they will deliver us a ride that will look very similar to the concept artwork they have released. After seeing what they have done to Wipeout and hearing about other plans they have for the park, I am looking forward to it.

[Reanimated35]

I'm certainly looking forward to the ride. I just don't hold much hope for their theming, but I'd love to be proven wrong by the park.

I guess once this one is done and depending on what they do to RH, we should get a good indication of where they're heading.

Hey Ninja, got any pic of the new thrill ride.

[themagician]

Just got home, will upload the video of the Wipeout testing from the new fence line tonight or tomorrow morning

Have you posted the videos yet?

Have you posted the videos yet?

Not yet sorry, having troubles transferring it from my phone to laptop. Will have it up hopefully within the next few days

The only thing I saw of TailSpin today was that was two buildings were being concreted the rides area was complete all they need to do is put the queue line and put the ride in its place and they are basically down I couldn't post any pictures as spent most of my phones battery on doing videos of the Wipeout getting tested.

Does it look like there will be water under the ride, or is the photo deceiving us?

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

I can confirm that I did indeed see some water near a drain which meant there could have been water after all Maybe they were testing but the water for one day. When I went today there was no water there..

They were testing the original ride cycle it they tested it five times the ended it for the day the fourth time the ride got stuck which meant the engineers had to do their magic to fix the ride

Upload the video? Yes! I'm a bit busy so I have to do it tomorrow when I have some free time!

^^ well it did rain the other day

It's quite funny reading through the Facebook comments on Dreamworld's announcement for Tailspin - Most of the comments are about bringing the Mine Ride back and a lot of comments are people complaining that it looks just like the Claw and Pandamonium.

And they'd be 100% right! Not very often I agree with comments on facebook, especially theme park pages

[rac2703]

Well hopefully someone at Dream World is listening.

I can't see that there would be water under Tailspin since the area is very small as I have said many times before. The Carriages will most likely take up most of the area unless they have a feature where the floor disappears then you can see the water.. I can't see any water happening near Tailspin since I haven't seen any drains installed in JUST yet Edited July 28, 2014 by The_Ninja_59

Looks good. Good on them for not letting it rot. Shame they couldn't do something about the noise -- if I had to operate that I'd lose my mind.

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

As I'am speaking I'm uploading a video of Wipeout which I did yesterday I gave up the thumb ups in the video at the end as well! My Channel is Ninja59able for those who want to subscribe to that channel

Thank you Ninja

I personally think the noise makes it even better. When I first went on The Wipeout the ride wasn't the scary part it was the noise, it gives it that bit more scary factor and I can not see the ride without the noise, it would be weird. It is a tad quieter than before though.
