The thing with the pre show, is if they are loading properly and running the attraction to its full capacity, i’d Prefer to sit through the pre show than to be standing outside in the bullpen with not

Soarin has better presentation (queue area, preshow) but personally feel as though the ride experience they are both great especially given both parks respective budgets. Between the two you're essent

Agree wholeheartedly here mate. At the end of the day we have to ask ourselves- now that Sky Voyager has finally opened, has it been worth the wait?, will it be successful?, and will it be the st

'LOL'

The clue here is its coloured yellow. its designed to be seen, which means it isn't planned to be installed into a roof.

It's also not a vacuum. The pipe is attached to a box inside the building, with the hose leading outside.

 

They aren't going to be vacuuming inside the building and just blowing it all outside now, are they?

What you're seeing is more likely either a portable air filter, or a portable air conditioner, both commonly used during construction for various reasons - however given the area wouldn't be overly hot, nor is it open to the public, its unlikely to be an air conditioner, so you'll likely find its some sort of air filter, being used to make the air more breathable. Considering the plastic sheeting, and the bare plasterboard here at present, its likely they're sheeting, sanding, etc, which generates a lot of dust, and probably under WH&S legislation, it requires air filtration systems.

They can also be used the opposite way to blow air creating circulation, useful when drying wet floors and newly painted walls.

 

Unfortunately my office has had to use them a few time due to crappy pipes.

Sky Voyager should open on Australia Day. Thanks 

I think @Slick said it best...

Is this a statement, a question, or a thought? Either way, i'm glad the community is making good use of the fountain of improbability.

I think we have enough information to figure out @Theme Park Enthusiast is the same as @dylan_oregan.

Fountain and wave boys.... Fountain and wave...

Source?

Someone I know has a managerial position at the park and they confirmed people were selected to ride sv. It was also the first people to ride it meaning other people who have claimed to have been on it were lying... who could’ve guessed?

I work at Dreamworld and will be riding it tomorrow. I will get some photos. 

So what is it?

Take the hint, we know when you're lying, pull your head in, follow the rules or we'll ban you again for the third fourth fifth time.

Hi Slick , you have no right to ban me from this page , are you the owner?

It's definitely worth checking out the community guidelines, I think you'll find these sections under Membership that i've picked out relevant:

Dreamworld / Ardent Leisure (Parent Company) stated that it will take two years to recover from the tragic accident that occured on the 25th October 2016 which seems to be not the case. 

The Problem: 
 
Dreamworld hope to draw back visitors with its new attraction Sky Voyager that was meant to open by Christmas but again Dreamworld didn't deliver on this promise, and no one is talking about it least of all Dreamworld and there's something very worrying about that.

With $17million put into this attraction, it would've been better to see a similar installation like DC Rivals or a Dive Coaster where Thunder River Rapids once stood which would've delivered a more exciting response and no doubt bring large crowds back to the park.

17 million is pretty damn close to $30 million, considering they wasting money on a water park expansion as well 

How is $17m close to $30m?

$13m isn’t just loose change in the cup holder of your car...even for a theme park 

and a water park expansion is well overdue

a river ride is not needed considering they have a wave pool already.

In what world is a lazy river the same as a wave pool? That’s like saying why build a hypercoaster when you have a monorail already..
