99.99% certain that it's been confirmed multiple times that the studios are fully booked for the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.

Late September/Early October was the last I heard.

Also the vintage cars has a reopening date!

The wipeout though, OCTOBER!! Holy crap that's ages. I am so pleased however that it will reopen.

Hopefully they will post something in regards to the Log ride soon.

What's with those random closing dates though. Like wipeout 22nd June closed. haha.

What is ages is that Wipeout has been closed since March. But it's nice to actually have an opening date. 

Same for the Vintage Cars, looking forward to seeing what they've done to make it provide an exciting new experience.

Yeah, they will add some awesome harnesses and soft mats around the track in case we fall. A very exciting new experience I bet it will be.

[Reanimated35]

Vintage cars with OTSR and speed reduced to 1.5km/h. Maximum 2 cars on track at any one time. 

[themeparkaddict]

2 cars would be extremely risky and unsafe. For the safety of everyone here at Parkz, dreamworld needs to use only 1 car at a time.

[themeparkaddict]

Just some words from Dreamworld, that date for the Vintage Cars is not a confirmed opening date and I have been told it could open anytime before or after this date.

Did the Wipeout ever fully operate since last year.  Didn't it open for only 2 weeks and close again?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

how long does it have to be open before it's classed as 'fully operating' ? If it was open for 2 weeks, it was fully operating for 2 weeks...?

It operated for two weeks (Around the same amount of time as the vintage cars operated back in December) in mid March after reopening from its audit, but it was always scheduled for maintenance anyways, but was originally planned to reopen at the end of April. Then kept getting its date pushed back, until the date was removed all together.

3 weeks

[Gary86]

Dreamworld seem to think all of there Big 9 thrill rides are now open... (1:20 in the video)

^yeah, and?

Only in the last week, we've discussed that Wipeout opened briefly post-safety-audit, before closing again for maintenance.

@Skeeta doesn't call two weeks 'open' but it was open. so all 9 of their big 9 have reopened since the audit - the message they're sending is that none of them are still closed 'pending a safety audit issue'.

the fact that wipeout is in more pieces than a superman train during maintenance (pause, you'll get it) is beside the point, it's not "still closed due to failure to pass safety inspection" - the video message is "the ride is safe".

[Richard]

The series of events that led to the ride's delayed reopening and its almost immediately closure for maintenance are dubious at best. This is the same park that hosts a free (for pass holders) Wiggles concert, and then boasts about how well the recovery is going based on an attendance increase that saw no corresponding revenue uptick . 

Appearances are everything, and it's abundantly clear that the overarching business strategy is to create the appearance of a thriving theme park 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

But @Richard, the ride has reopened.

The parks' social media teams really need to get up to date...

[themagician]

The post doesn't state 'Will you be visiting them today' or 'Is open today'. It is just sharing a photo and stating some information. Don't see the issue with it.

[Brad2912]

I have an issue with it, you don't promote something at a time when guests can't experience it. Not everyone is savvy enough to jump on the maintenance page to check that the things they're promoting are actually open.

Yeah okay, I see your point.

But don't you book the Penguin Encounter online?

Penguin Encounter Exhibit is mentioned. That's the name of the exhibit, not the upcharge animal experience
