    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

    Occasionally I'll search through tender websites for theme park projects and yesterday's search at work had delivered some treasure. Here is what is worth noting: This is what the queu

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...

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

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.

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.

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 😢
