Copy that will rock up in our 6x6 dubsters mate

[bladex]

oh yes sweet getaway vehicle don't worry if we fail 3 times we can skip the mission and still get it done

[Gary86]

Even if the house was destroyed they will just rebuild it

[Reanimated35]

Why not "Big Brother Block's Kitchen Rules"?

They have to build a house to live in for 3 months while making a bunch of food for park guests.

While this may be slightly off topic I was browsing Nearmap today for any updates (no new images), and was looking at the property boundaries of the parks and was surprised to see the Dreamworld property boundries (see orange boundary on image below). According to Nearmap the land was subdivided back in 2012 with a large part of the land now a separate lot. Most of Dreamworld's spare land is up behind overflow car-park and the eucalyptus tree farm for the koala's out the back near the vintage cars.

I thought they sold off most of that land?

[Brad2912]

Correct, sold to government & westfield for development of the town centre

[pin142]

Am I the only one thinking the big cleared out area between the two roundabouts would be ideal for a coaster?

[New display name]

The cleared area you are talking about was approved as an overflow car park that was never finished after WWW stage 3 was caned.

[Brad2912]

When was WWW stage 2 completed?

[New display name]

Little Rippers was stage 2.

yeah lets do it rct style!

That's a long ass walk for a coaster though.

[Brad2912]

Lets re-commission the sky lift!

Would be worth it if the coaster was of a decent size I'd certainly be up for the walk... and maybe it might give them the opportunity to add in some decent theming on the way!

Excellent suggestion

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Just give it a really long brake run, that ends near rocky hollow...

[Gary86]

They could extend the train track if the park expanded.

[bladex]

or put in 1 of them train shuttles that doesn't need a track and just shuttle everyone over to it

[Brad2912]

You guys are getting a tad too serious about this.

DW is not gonna build a coaster in bushland accessible only by train or shuttle, or a long ass walk.

That would require major development of an entire new themed area/land, as as stated early some of that land is now sold off

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^hence why i said just make it a long ass brake run so the stationhouse is near where Skylink currently rots.

Now, this looks like the start of the break-run...

We're starting to slow down...

A minute later

We've slowed down a bit more

Another minute later

We've certainly decreased speed a bit

5 more minutes later

I guess we should be coming to a stop soon

and another 10 after that

Phew. And that ends the ride.

Or:

Ah the break run.

*Screeches to a stop.*

Now to take on the rest of the break run at this speed. We should be back in let's say... two hours.

According to the Thrillz Facebook page, Tiger Island will be receiving an upgrade in 2015.

Well... it would enable the coaster to run at least 20 trains... but at the very least, just make a series of camel humps to bleed the speed on the way back to the station... no biggie.

Realistically what could you do with it?

A few new trees planted and change up some of the equipment in there? that's about it
