When I drove past at about 4pm there were 4-5 new containers onsite being unloaded.

There is about 70 more containers to go, they are being sent at different times so they all don't arrive at once. If you landed all the containers at once, your would fill the entire carpark up with parts.

It's much easier to just let them pile up at the port until they refuse to hold them any longer

I mean - yes, they could be starting to construct the rollercoaster...

-or-

they're packing it back up because they've sold it elsewhere.

 

 

Now, knowing Dreamworld as I do, I think it's safe to say that anything is possible.

Yeah wishful thinking, It would be a great replacement for arkham at movie world

A second launched coaster? Right next to the first one? I think it would be a terrible replacement. They need something they haven't done before.

Site offices are now sitting behind the construction fence in front of Buzzsaw

I'm doing a hospitality course at Dreamworld and a staff worker said they're aiming for a December 2021 opening and that you should expect the majority of the ride structure to go up by about July next year

if you check OZthrils on Instagram he put on his story that right now they are removing trees and starting to level the ground 

I tried sending the link but it wouldn't work

Can see there being a huge amount of problems because all the trrr structure remains

Except there's literally nothing left of TRR except maybe a couple concrete trough walls that were left underground

Some of the troughs remain. Nothing that some excavations can't fix tho.

They'll just punch straight through them with any piling.

The project team would be well aware of what structures used to be on the site.

And the park has done this before, eg Whitewater World was built on the site of thunderbolt, which had all its footings.

Also, Cyclone was built on an old road.

Also, motocoaster was built on the old roadways for Model T lane.

40 year old concrete won't be a challenge for modern drilling and pile driving.

 🤣 Oh God, So many meaning for this.

First look at the spinning train prototype on blue fire!

[Jdude95]

The station concrete pad that used to have the turntable and a couple bits of trough are really all that remain. It's easy to just not build anything that required deep excavation over the old 10ft deep concrete pad and remove any chunks of concrete trough if you come across them while digging. 
But essentially

Meanwhile it seems they perfected the spinning backhand with that response

Well I did worry that we might never see this day so very pleased to see construction actually happening.

PLOT TWIST!!!! Dreamworld goes bankrupt in April after a devastating 2nd/3rd nation wide Covid-19 wave. Annastacia palazoozucchini states her government will not surport saving Dreamworld. Sad reacts only 😢

Here is the current update but credit to https://www.instagram.com/au_dreamworld_fan/ for the photos

But it seems that the Dreamworld express will not operate until the completion of the coaster but also some train tracks have been removed
