Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017

[LORD_Noodle]

Just curious I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet.... my bad if they have

 

but I was looking at dreamworld website tonight and they still have the log ride on their to view the ride stats.... but on the park map it's not there??

 

anyone know why?

[themagician]

Yeah, it has been off the park map since the park reopened. It's because it isn't available to guests, and the park knew it wouldn't be for a while, so they took it off all the maps. However it's still shown on the website because it isn't gone forever, and DW have confirmed it will be reopening, we just don't know when

Tower of terror II is closed for maintance...

 

29/04/2017 - 14/05/2017

And also why is Wet n wilds wave pool closing for maintance?

Wave pool closed for scheduled maintenance from Monday 17th July and will re-open on Sunday 27th August 2017.

So it can have maintenance done. Pools and slides still need maintenance done on them. Even if it's something minor like pump cheeks and resealing the pool.

Yeah but to me that's wierd, because they never close it and if they close it for maintance families don't have a pool to hang out and swim in

The wave pool definitely has has closures.

They even reprofiled the whole floor a few years ago.

Ok thankyou

Because unlike the park in Sydney they don't have around 5 months which they can go through and perform maintenance on it if needed. Don't see why the wave pool is being treated different to any other slide/attraction at the park when it comes to maintenance.

Wipeout and footpath progress

[themagician]

SDSC has been scheduled for a second lot of maintenance this year. Along with it being closed from 28th August and will re-open Monday 18th September, it will also be closed from Monday 6th November and will re-open Monday 26th November.

[Brad2912]

Hopefully one is the standard maintenance cycle, whilst the other is the re-themeing works 

[New display name]

I think it went down in November last year for its annual maintenance.

"Closed for scheduled maintenance from Monday 14th November and will re-open Monday 26th December 2016."

Annual meaning yearly “to me” suggest SDSC is not due for annual maintenance before November.

Wishful thinking or have we just cracked the code?

[Brad2912]

That's some Sherlock Holmes level code cracking there @Skeeta! 

[themagician]

Don't you mean Mystery Inc. level of code cracking @Brad2912

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Gee Willickers!

Department store refurb is now complete. And the batman store refurb has begun

[Flynn_Smith]

Thanks for the update @themagician! It's great to see that they are refurbishing the main street. 

[BNErider]

It'd be cool if they had a store on Main St that could promote the new coaster with some motion base seats + VR -- like what Liseburg is doing for their new dive coaster.

[Flynn_Smith]

So, now we know when Tower of Terror will be re-opening! I'm glad that its so soon. Although, wipeout's maintenance has been pushed back even further, now going until the 28th of June.

Atleast we know that they are trying to make everything as safe as it possibly can.

We've always known that, but for people that didn't.. it just emphasises the importance of Ride maintenance and ride safety.

[MickeyD]

They are obviously investing big dollars in Wipeout's revival, I wonder how much (if any) involvement Vekoma are playing with providing new parts etc? 

With only 2 Waikiki Wave Super Flip rides left operating  (is there still one somewhere in Mexico?) parts would no doubt be expensive and incredibly difficult to source.

DW have historically been creative with retrofitting their rides in-house, however doing this today may effect the warranty and insurance for them to operate them safely. I think this is of grave concern for the future of ride's like Wipeout and indeed DW as a whole.

My fingers are crossed that we will see shiny new life breathed back into Wipeout for the second half of the year. If they can't get her back up to scratch they would want to at least have a Plan B.

Yes, the Huracan is still standing and operating. I've recently pointed out the likely issue with limited parts availability on my blog, as I believe that factor may be playing a major role in reopening delays as well.

Cheers, although I've never actually doubted that.
