Looks awesome!

The Buzzsaw is back up and running again ?

Awesome news. Suppose when you think about it, if they waited to open this or opened it now, it wouldn't matter if you could see river rapids or not, because it's not like it was going to be removed before they opened the ride.

That's great, definitely will try to get back down next week now that a few more rides are open. I assume by then one or two more will be open too.

I know Slick already called this out as being made up, but I do love when stuff gets proved wrong quickly.

I am surprised they went for Buzzsaw before Tailspin, Wipeout or Shockwave. I would have thought the ocean parade rides would have been easier to inspect as apposed to a complete looping roller coaster. But I suppose they do need some of the bigger thrill rides open to draw a crowd.

well it makes sense since the accident the inspectors would have gotten straight to the surrounding rides 1st.

Wait so you think what happened is they did the incident investigation for thunder rapids, finished up and then said 'well we've got to inspect more rides, what's close?'  

Yes because they definitely inspected all the rides without leaving the park.

that's exactly what they did remember in an old post they made them change BZ 1st. so laugh all you want BZ was the very 1st ride to get the new changes.

Random question, what does the Z stand for in BZ?

Really good to see Dreamworld reopening all the thrills and other rides the more rides they have open the more it will attract people as there's more stuff to do. When the park reopened they didn't have much to offer for anyone but kids and if you live quite a fair distance from the park like me its not really worth going not that I don't wish to show my support to the park or anything but now that thrills are reopening I'm more inclined to go and that's how most people would think who don't have kids or anything.

When did they make DW 'change' Buzzsaw 1st? And what 'new changes'? I only remember Buzzsaw getting the only 3 prohibition notices DW received from Workplace Health & Safety QLD inspectors.

it's in one of the rapids incident threads. they put a new restraint in and a new gate in the operators booth and something else.

Anyone at the park today? How are the crowds?

Rode Buzzsaw tonight. No new restraints, still the same seatbelt/waist harness as before. I believe the harness issue that was addressed during auditing was related to a harness used by staff to perform maintenance on the ride. 

On an unrelated note, was in attendance tonight for the Fire Machine pyrotechnics/laser/fireworks show. Was very cool, and very loud! Photos and videos do it no justice. Definitely has to be witnessed in person. My family loved it (especially our 7 year old son) and we will be going back another night to see it again ☺️?

I was a bit of a fan too.  I won't go into details but I'll just say there's lots of stuff in the show, and in many ways that's all it is, stuff!  It's like 'here's a kind of stuff, you enjoying this this stuff?  BAM! new kind of stuff!'  As it happens it's entertaining stuff and I'll probably check it out again a few more times before the run ends, where as last years show I was pretty much done after seeing it once.  Everyone should go watch and make sure you buy plenty of food and drink.

 

The only bad thing I would say is that noise that's in the show needs to not be in the show.

I also saw the Fire Machine tonight and thought it was great. Not amazing, but a solid addition and I'm sure everyone who saw it enjoyed it and was impressed. I agree about that obnoxious loud noise - that needs to go.

It was real disappointing seeing how quiet the park was this afternoon/tonight. I just hope it picks up in the coming days!
