Do you have any photo's?

This image is about 3 weeks old now, I posted it in the maintanence forum, since then they have ripped up the jetty which was covering the water jets, ripped up the concrete out the front to move the fence line closer to the ride, painted the supports a lighter blue and they have also painted the beach themed changing rooms and the operator beach house to new colours such as red, purple, yellow, orange and green.

So... if the ride is currently a light blue colour, they could be bringing the ride back to it's ORIGINAL colour scheme...



Would sure be a nice throwback to the Dreamworld of the 90's.

I agree with you on that one. It will also be good if they bring back the water and even better if they brought back Fluffy.

Is there any other new with Reef Diver? If the whole ride gone now?

Hey, I'm not sure. A friend told me about the current Wipeout situation late last week as I was not there myself so I'm not to sure about the Reef diver situation. Hopefully someone is visiting Dreamworld soon and can take some updated pictures of both Wipeout and Reef Diver

[MaxxTheMonster]

I will be there next Thursday so unless someone else heads down before then I will try and get a few.

Photo taken on Tuesday, you are welcome.

ARGH THE NOSTALGIA!!!

[BTTF Forever]

Might go there this weekend and get a few photo's...

Always loved the Wipeout, and seeing it now being restored to its (hopefully) original state back in 1994 just gives me chills, would love to film a commercial for the grand re-opening of it and make it like a super cheesy, super corny 90's ad haha!

I hope this isnt the only ride that Dreamworld decides to restore in the future.

It isn't. Dreamworld have announced they will be restoring another one of the parks favourites.

[BTTF Forever]

Oh yeah haha I forgot they announced that, tbh I was more leaning towards a certain gold rush country amusment thats SBNO.... but lets face it that aint gonna happen lol

Thanks, could you please get some photos if possible as well. And if you can could you just have a peek into WWW to see if anything is happening.

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Couldn't be bothered to rotate it but oh well

[Reanimated35]

That extra button or two must have been such a hassle. I know I almost died when I had to press them it was so stressful

Thanks for that. So we now know Reef Diver is completely gone. Did you notice any further changes to Wipeout?

Nope It is the same as last time since T-Bone's photo

[Jobe]

Do we have any info on where Reef Diver has gone or been sold to as yet?

When i was there on thursday it was sitting behind flow rider in that dirt carpark area.

The New Thrill Slide will be Triple the fun *cough*Tornado alley*cough*

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I had literally just suggested an Alley in the update - but my question is - will it fit?

The New Thrill Slide will be Triple the fun *cough*Tornado alley*cough*

Anyone have any ideas for the WWW slide... "triple the fun" and what it might mean (maybe an Alley?... is there room?) - sure it could have three elements... or it could just be that its a third 'little ripper'? (unlikely but the triple could mean just that)...

[Brad2912]

Admittedly not the most knowledgable when it comes to water slides, but given the apparent area available it seems unlikely it would fit

[themeparkgc]

I'd say re-routing the path permanently alongside the Cyclone towards the toilets could give enough room for one. If the splashdown was next to the Rip they could use the same conveyor for rafts. In the image below, I did measure out the funnel diameters per the ProSlide website, but the rest is just guesswork.
