Thought that may have been the case.

The closure date of the Bus Stop matches the Buzzsaw's closure period on the Dreamworld website.

Get ready to start seeing ground works I guess

There will be some movement soon

I think I saw from somewhere that the clue for the Trick or Treating station at BuzzSaw reffered BuzzSaw as something that sounds like a bee and that it can saw a tree down or something. Maybe BuzzSaw will be rethemed to something like that. It would also kind of make sense to retheme the ride with that subject if the new coaster is called “Steel Taipan”.

BuzzSaw will be rethemed to something that sounds like a bee and that can saw a tree down? So a BuzzSaw

Well.... yeah! But I was thinking more of BuzzSaw getting more of a outback theme to replace its original Gold Rush Mill theme.

Your original post refers to the name changing to reflect the riddle/clue, the answer to which is BuzzSaw. 

what outback theme are you speaking of? Steel Taipan doesn’t scream “outback theme” so why would BuzzSaw be re-themed to it? To be honest, BuzzSaw basically is an outback theme.. more so than a Steel Taipan anyway..

Outback is probably the wrong word, they both sound a bit like a rustic Australiana theme.....A bit like what places such as Aussie World and Gumbuya try to do.

Put it this way, if Goldrush and Rocky Hollow still existed, something called Steel Taipan would not look out of place.

According to the park map, they do still exist

That’s great for the workers and the economy since the ride opens during the long school holidays it will do really well and help the economy out here

It will be great for the jobs that come from building the coaster but let’s hope there are no delays in the next 12months, if it does open chrismas 2021. Last few new rides to open in Qld all missed there planned opening dates.

13 months is plenty of time to allow for some delays along the way. Barring a serious second wave in QLD shutting everything down long term

By "separate spinning gondola" I assume they're just talking about the spinning car at the back, a la Time Traveler's whole train, or I have missed something?

Just the final car on each train

Drove past Dreamworld today and it’s a negative, they still got quite a few days still to start to claim that ‘next week’ statement
