Yes it is, and as you can see it was attached all along. 
So there was no recent addition of a Zero Car. 

I saw a YouTube video of it testing with a zero car

    This morning I was invited out to Dreamworld to get a sneak peek of Steel Taipan and a walk through of the entire area. I’ll start out by saying, overall they’ve done a good job with the area. It’s ve

The post that apparently set you off was saying "Here's the zero car!" which is literally what it is, the completion of the Zero car via the addition of the themed cowl...

Hey! Stop making sense!

Wow. Takes a good layout to an excellent one. There isn't a dull moment from start to finish and it doesn't appear to be overwhelmingly nauseating like I expected it to be. Good play by DW.

After the MCBR it looks legit so intense.

Sent around with 1 dummy to get most spinning effect for the video.

I guess they're just lucky you were available... ;)

Everyone’s thoughts on the name “Tailwhip 360 Spinning Seat”. I like the Tailwhip part, and I get the rest is to explain what it is, but I don’t like it in the experience name.

They should keep "Tailwhip" and "Seat".

360, spinning - literally two terms you don't need next to each other.

Colloquially, the seat can be referred to as Tailwhip Seat or Spinning Seat - either works.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: ALIEN INVASION: 3D

DC RIVALS HYPERCOASTER

HOT WHEELS SIDEWINDER

 

For these examples the parks are probably obligated to included JUSTICE LEAGUE, DC, HOT WHEELS in the name. 

TAILWHIP 360⁰ SPINNING SEAT  is all on DW.

Ha! Thank you sir. Rest assured I have read every post and jump on here multiple times a day... maybe I'll stay out of retirement for longer this time around 😜

Our parks seem to love pointlessly long attraction names

"Wild West Falls Adventure Ride" instead of just Wild West Falls
"Justice League 3D - The Ride" instead of just Justice League (Perhaps Justice League 3D)

and the worst offender "Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation" if that was on a T-Shirt they couldn't sell any size under 2XL or the name wouldn't fit.

I can't wait to go back to Disney and ride "Space Mountain Intergalatic Coaster Ride" and "The Pirates of The Carribean Adventerous Boat Ride"

I don't hate the name Tailwhip or even Tailwhip 360⁰ but it doesn't need the spinning seat in my eyes. My guess is they included that so people didn't get confused it was a completely different attraction.

I definitely think the Tailwhip 360 is perfectly fine. They could easily just state in the experience description that it’s a spinning seat. I can imagine people will eventually just start referring to it as Tailwhip anyways.
 

Even the acronym is too long for Parkz “T360SS”

Sure.

  • Justice League 3D
  • DC Rivals
  • HotWheels... Racer?

All perfectly acceptable, shorter and easier to pronounce \ incorporate into a spiel. I'm appalled I completely omitted the SDSCNG as that is the worst of them all.

Last I heard from you you were still filling your house with fog juice - and i'm sure its been a while since you did that. Glad to know you're still around man.

Since Hot Wheels is a sponsorship requirement, and honestly not that much of a mouthful anyway, why bother changing Sidewinder to Racer?

 

At least it wasn't Hot Wheels Sidewinder Rollercoaster, or Hot Wheels Sidewinder Looper.

Justice League: Battle for Metropolis

Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D

 

You don't think DC is insisting how these rides are named?

 

Hotwheels Racer.    Whats the point of the name change?
