As long as the cyclone becomes a smooth ride then it's all good!

I rode Space World's Titan back in June, another old Arrow which had just had new trains added. Those trains had S&S-style seats and onboard audio, makes me wonder if Dreamworld will be getting something similar. They were also lapbar-only which I suspect would significantly improve the ride on Cyclone.

I think this is the one you are talking about.  I found this photo on TPR website.

 

 

The trains feature onboard audio with a choice of 5 songs.

That's all well and good on the thrill side of things, but I'd still rather have the OTS restraints to keep with the theme. 

I hope the get the music pumping through the headrest right.  Most of the rides I have ridden with this feature have never got it right.  You almost need separate volume control on each seat so the customer can adjust it to their liking and a good quality set of speakers would help too.

 

To have it working consistently would be a major achievement on the Gold Coast.

OTS restraints are very limited IMO. And I don't see how having sophisticated lap bar restraints don't look just as much like a racecar theme. Perhaps have a lap bar that comes from over the shoulder like Green Lantern for a compromise  

Cyclone can't actually accomodate 2 trains can it?

I just liked the OTS style to match the racing harness. 

 

Cyclone can have 2 cars if they chose to add block brakes to the available space before the u-turn to the station. Pretty sure the mounts are there for them but it's never been installed.

Think the reason why they haven't installed the set of brakes there is due to evacuation access, would require also installing the walkway and having stairs constructed for access.

True, and given the age, I doubt the retheme would warrant the extra cost associated with making that happen

I thought Cyclone had 6 cars ?

You thought right it does have 6 cars.

Well I'm sure block brakes would help them continue to have 2 cars  .....along with the other 4

CHURROS

Everyone’s favourite Churros stand will be getting a bright and classy make-over. Join the locals and experience the warm-cinnamon goodness first thing in the morning or grab one just before leaving for the day. A Dreamworld classic treat.

The ice cream parlour has a very disneyland aesthetic going on. I like it.

 

Also, is it just me or does the Churro stand look just a bit too similar to the building behind it? It just doesn't seem to pop but rather blend in.

Loving the ice cream parlour - very Disneyland! The churro stand also looks great, and I like how it looks permanent.

Message for Dreamworld management reading these forums: Main Street is starting to look really nice again, so perhaps think about replacing some of those ugly window coverings ("curtains") with something a bit more classy, like Movie World/Disneyland have.

You thought right it does have 6 cars.

Gosh, that really is an absolutely awful excuse for a drop when you see it from that angle...

 What angle have you been looking at it?   Do you walk on your hands?

Better than nothing, I suppose.

It doesn't even look like it's 45˚... that's kinda poor

I calculated that it would be at about 26 degrees

Could be worse.

 

will the ice cream parlor have rainbow ice cream?

Dreamworlds churros shop just outside the main street emporium.

 

Talk about destroy the façade of a building and it looks like DW could not even bother to repaint the original building.  When you see shit like this, you know Dreamworld have no idea in what direction they are taking DW to.

i personally don't think there is anything wrong with it.

The building behind the churro kiosk wraps around onto Main Street, so they couldn't just paint the portion behind the churro kiosk without the building looking half painted. If they painted the whole building, they'd then need to then paint the whole way along Main Street or it would look terrible. Maybe they have plans to rejuvenate/renovate the Main Street facade in the near future.
