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 

Sounds like the crowd outside of Rivals post day 1, waiting for the cherry picker to lower because it meant they could start taking people. It lowered and people flocked from all corners of the park.

@Brad2912 I posted about an hour after I saw it

BuzzSaws reopening date pushed back to the same day as Sidewinder.

it's probably so they can use the iphone 12 pro's lidar scanner to map out buzzsaw from the top of a cherry picker to then add to the 3D map 

[gavinfulikes]

BuzzSaw is now pushed back to the 23rd. My prediction is that BuzzSaw won’t open until 2021 judging by the fact that BuzzSaw was supposed to reopen on the 7th of March. Tbh I don’t think one ride this year at Dreamworld has reopened on its original reopening date even before the parks closure.

We could all speculate that this is due to the works taking place on Steel Taipan but let's be real. It's not.

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

Saw testing being done this afternoon. Saw 3 run throughs completed.

Colour scheme for the cars seem interesting but i honestly feel the vibe of palm springs from this whole thing which i actually really like

For something called 'gold coaster' there is a distinct lack of gold.

Surely an announcement will be made today...

[themagician]

I’m expecting them to announce it on its reopening day

Only took 11 hours for this to age like milk in the sun

It says Sidewinder maintenance ends on the 19th. I’m assuming it would reopen on Sunday instead of Saturday as it was previously expected.

So does that mean GL reopens at MW tomorrow and SDSC reopens the 21st?

[Coasterlife]

So excited for this to open later today

What do you mean? I was down there waiting for it to open. Got at least 40 rides on it in that 35 minutes

[Smol bean]

Why haven’t dreamworld said anything about it opening today. They haven’t even mentioned it since they announced the refurb at least sky voyager was constantly mentioned 

Edited December 18, 2020 by Smol bean
Seriously dreamworld what the fuck

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Just rang up Dreamworld’s GS line to try and get some confirmation if it was reopening today or tomorrow 

I had gotten from them was, “The attraction has been doing test runs this morning and is set to reopen today” then only for them to backtrack a minute later and for them to say tomorrow

Let’s hope we can have an Arrow looper back open soon 🤞🏻

I think it might just open in the middle of the day today unannounced like what happened with the smiler at Alton towers

I really expect just testing to be occurring the whole day now 

Might pop in still nonetheless to try and get some shots of the ride in action but if not, full proper near day tomorrow on my end at the park
