OOo nice ones, @JaggedJanine!! I love your camera, it takes amazing quality pics ❤️

You just reminded me too that I didn't upload the pics I said I would yesterday. Better late than never ?

And here's a couple from when they were attaching the counterweights to the tops of the arms

@JaggedJanine uses a Canon 70D ??

Thanks Theme Park Girl, I'm considering of getting a new camera, ?? 

Thanks @Theme Park Girl. Yes it is a Canon 70D and i had a polarising filter on the lens.

Need work happening today.

And also, I don't know if I've just never noticed this, or if it's been recently done, but I noticed that china town alley was clear, and there were only those red poles left, and I could see down to the AA courtyard area.

just looked up the cam on ebay wow expensive cam out of my price range!

Guys, remember, it's not just the camera, its the user behind it. DSLRs aren't cheap, and even then, the base lenses are shit, so you need to spend more to get a decent lens to go with it. Even the polarising filter Janine used costs around $70. You can get basic DSLRs these days under a grand, but you have to learn how to use them properly. if you're in school - do some photography classes as electives or sport, or a TAFE course. You gotta crawl before you can walk.

On topic, I think we need to refer to the highside scooby emergency exit as 'god's door' from now on. Hopefully they clean up the darkened area where the show stage signage used to be too.

Cant wait to ride this lame ride.

Very true. Great advice ???

Oh THAT'S why I suck  

...when will the white and orange part on the seats be painted? Same time as the RideOp booth?

Since everyone else has been posting pics of it, here's some more DD shots from today. 

(These are obviously hugely cropped and scaled down as I don't want the high res shots ending up on some random's FB page)

 

 

 

I don't think they'll be painting the orange and white bits, but if they do anything with them I think they'll be bolting something else onto it.

 

oh they are going to paint them alright...when their green camo paint order arrives

The two green arched bits on the ground in front of the booth - attachments for the ride? Look at all the straight white lines on the arms...

i saw them - i'd thought they'd be covers for the gearboxes \ gears visible at the pivot.

just taken, staying around the area just in case they start doing test runs, don't want to miss it  

Thank you @The_Ninja_59  Are you able to see what company are doing the install?

@The_Ninja_59 could also try and see what the crane is doing in the WWF area.

having a look at the vehicles on site right now, it looks it's a company called Main Construction based in Loganholme @skeetafly

a few men just entered the Show Stage no movement at the Dodgems or WWF as of right now

@themagician as I have said no movement on WWF, just a bunch of cars parked on the site at the moment, I did see crane when I was walking past Scooby

^From the photos you've posted it looks like it must be be on the left side of the mountain.

@The_Ninja_59 Main Constructions is mainly a civil construction and would be overseeing the whole project.  They might be doing the install of the ride.  Does anyone know if Intamin always commission their own ride? Would MW staff install the ride?

I don't think MW staff would be installations the ride, I'm sure they'd hire contractors for that. I'd say Intamin would be in charge of the ride installation but the surrounding area would be done by the park.
