TOTTING HELL YOU'RE FRUSTRATING. YOU CAN'T DRIVE ON THE BRIDGE FOR CONSTRUCTION AS 90% OF VEHICLES ACCESSING THE SITE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CROSS IT DUE TO WEIGHT.

Since the flume channel will likely not be used for a flume again, they could probably fill it in, but until such time as the rest of the channel is dealt with, that isn't easy - because any rainfall captured into the top of the channel will flow down hill, and filling in the bridge prevents it from draining to the reservoir.

What about option 1 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Long story short Dreamworld are telling us all porkies that Buzzsaw is closed because of I-Ride.

When did DW say it was closed for I-ride construction?

[Jdude95]

Yeah, I thought the only people saying Buzzsaw was closed for i-ride constructions were the tottas?

I see one thing that is wrong. Should be Big 9 Thrill Rides. They've obviously just copied and pasted it from a previous application.

There is also no such place as The Australian Wildlife Experience anymore either...

For someone who tries so hard to show everyone how correct he is, you really relish in being utterly wrong, don't you?

Although Dreamworld lists the area on the map as one precinct, the park map shows BOTH ABC Kids World AND Wiggles World - including both logos in the directory and superimposed on the park map itself.

 

I do hope one of these days you actually fact check your mouth occasionally before opening it... but you probably won't.

Rivals maintenance has been brought forward, and DD is going under another round of maintenance 

[-nick.white.1543]

What was Rivals' previous maintenance schedule ??

[themagician]

Early September

[themeparkaddict]

Original maintenance was 17-27 September

[themagician]

In regards to the fencing around the MW carpark. I am going to assume it’s for Rivals maintenfe, because it’s not fenced alongside the road, and it is literally just in line with the rides footprint. The type of machinery that’s onsite to, id say it’s for inspecting the track of rivals

Seems excessive unless entire sections of track are to be replaced

[joel]

Its probably a good idea because Green Lantern and Scooby are down currently and if Rivals goes down its kind of smart to store everything in the same spot. As well as have all the contractors/maintenance staff parking/amenities in one spot.

[Levithian]

Maybe its for doomsday if they dont want to close the whole area. Those arms probably have to come off and they are pretty large to house inside a building at the same time..

[Brad2912]

Excuse what may be ignorance, but why would the arms need to be removed off DD during maintenance unless there is some sort of major structural issue they have found? 

[joel]

I would think just parts of the gondola would be removed. And hopefully the issue with the floor will be fixed forever.

[Levithian]

Aside from any areas that need inspection due to load/fatigue, because they are attached to the reduction gearbox which would probably be inspected and maybe have the bolts replaced. So the arms might need to come off.

It kinda makes sense for them to do the maintenance there. Back of house access to the ride is limited, so the driveway ( "observation area" ) access to the station leads to the carpark. It may be easier to do it right in front of the ride, than to transport the trains to the machine shop.

Given the height of the ride, and the space it takes up, they are going to need some large machines just to do an inspection. My FB memories popped up yesterday that yesterday was the first ever test run of the train (thanks Parkz on FB!) so it does seem perfectly in line with 'every twelve months'

It's quite plausible.

Over the past week, all the paint work on the track of the Surfrider at WnW has been removed, and now it’s just a plain white track.

Why would they do this? 

[themagician]

Usually they do something like this to inspect for rust and the structural integrity of the track

Inspections occurring on DCR. 2 cranes on site currently looking at the crest of the first hill
