Wouldn’t you be able to see the entry during the day now, if the burger bar is open? Unless it’s still fenced off during the day

did you get any close up's near the entrance of the queuing for the coaster?

[joz]

The photos don't really support the 'It looks great' claim

[themagician]

I assume the Shaka Shack is a new retail store for the area

Sure is 

[rappa]

Looks great it does not...

 

 

...in my opinion

[gavinfulikes]

This is what the entrance currently look like. You can also kind of see what the queue is going to look like.

[themagician]

The coaster really does look a lot better, especially from WWW. That queue will be a lot better now it’s opened up too

[Jdude95]

It looks like a 50's inspired theme

Here’s a full look at the new burger place 

[Gazza]

Hands up if you keep skim reading "Barrels Burger Bar" as "Barrels Byron Bay"

[themagician]

A look into the queues theming

So, that forum died. I'm guessing they will announce the re - theme in December to get park attendance up. Honestly, I like the new theme of the ride. Yeah it's tacky but someone was going to name a coaster The Gold Coaster. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Honestly i'm surprised nobody has in the 30-40 years of parks on the coast. The glitter strip is gaudy, meter maids in skimpy gold bikinis etc etc, and as you say - its a little tacky, but its a great fit. If you consider that the white water world theme is okker \ bogan aussie - thongs and aussie slang and so on, it isn't that big of a stretch for the Big Cyclinder.

Sidewinder has been pushed back to the 18th of december

[gavinfulikes]

It was pushed back a while ago. BuzzSaw has recently been pushed back to the 15th and Pandaimonium has been pushed back to the 31st surprisingly.

that would be my bad, I have not been on the dreamworld website for a while

[rappa]

Bla bla... it’s so good unlike others they got all their rides opened on time for their reopening rather than rio people off for constant delays and lack of rides running... something something 

[themagician]

Coaster is in testing and the train has a new bright fresh look to suit the new theme 

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

They better hope it opens in a few weeks... Having Buzzsaw, Sidewinder, Pandamonium down for the start of holidays is disappointing to say the least. Many people are going to leave disappointed with lots of people coming from other states now that borders are open.

Front 2 cars are white, middle two are pastel yellow, and the back 2 are pastel/baby blue.

When I saw you post this I was at the park so rushed over to try and get some photos but by then they had people on 2 cherry pickers looking at 2 sections of the track
