DW have begun adding dates for this years maintenance schedule. At this stage WWW doesn't have anything scheduled, but worth while pointing out that BuzzSaw will be closing again for maintenance next month, HWSW opening date has been pushed back again, the Dreamworld Express is closed for the next couple months and the Claw is will be closed for almost 2 months as well.

I made the same topic and it got locked because it’s a megethread?

Three months downtime for the "train"? If only they had a highly reliable option instead of what they are using now!

Nah, it "cost too much to maintain" remember 😋

Actually they are replacing 20 year old track in some parts of its course.

Oh Ww worker you crack me up..

I actually think they might be doing that because I’ve been at the park when they’ve been looking at parts of the track.

There's 100+ year old rail in place at many heritage railways. If maintained (key word) it shouldn't wear out in 20 years. 

The rail in some places is approx 100 year old as well. 

They are not doing trackwork, thats all I will say.

Maybe they are modifying the tracks route...

Has anyone considered that the train is in maintenance because it's the actual train that needs maintenance and not the tracks?

The carriages defiantly don’t need maintenance because most of the time 1 is always missing

Why not both?

Because the track is fine, lol

Unless they are rerouting it, then the track isn’t fine

How do you figure that? 

I didn’t, I’m just adding another option to the list of reasons 

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another re-routing reason for the train not operating.

RHLR has been unreliable lately. Constantly breaking down resulting in logs being piled up at the conveyor. It’s most likely sensors detecting two logs are to close together but it’s than drained and can take numerous days to be up and running again. Currently the log ride has been down for 4 days (according to q4u).

Log ride is currently down for maintainance for approximately 1 month , hopefully will see removal of the temporary cages during this process. 

Buzzsaw is going down again in 10 days. This is just a joke.

How do you figure? This is a flume. The boats are designed with bumpers for when they collide, and in several points on a flume, they are even permitted to. The new cages even have convenient whiplash bars installed for just this purpose too.

The conveyor is capable of controlling log release - i don't think this is the cause of the shutdowns.
