Dreamworld Maintenance 2021

With a new iPhone on the way, hopefully this is the last Android quality photo you'll see from me...

The west side of drop:

You can't blame phone software for a photo. An iPhone is equally capable of taking a photo as good as that is.

The Claw is now down to October 31st, as are Tailspin and Shockwave, odd they all come out of maintenance on October 31.

And the Claw just reopened after extensive maintenance. Hopefully they all do reopen at the end of the month, because Ocean Parade is too quiet and doesn’t have much going for it.

Claw was down all day Sunday when I went. Was surprised they didn’t mention it on the website or on the “rides closed today” sign at the entrance. Wonder what the problem was?

Dreamworlds ride information page can sometimes be a mess. Sometimes when the expected reopening date for a certain ride passes, the ride either returns to the open rides section with it’s maintained dates still there or they get removed completely. Typically when the dates aren’t removed when the expected reopening date passes, it’s closed. Also The Gold Coaster was scheduled to enter maintenance in a few days but is has thankfully been pushed back to November. It would be very disappointing to have only 3 thrill rides open considering the park a few years ago could have up to 9 open.

Dreamworld only has 2 thrill ride operating today, The Gold Coaster and Pandamonium

May as well open the gates for free and offer a “free trial”

The GD is closed as they have been reinstalling the western side and testing.

Nobody cares MDMC is closed today too but could the closure of the GD and MDMC also be for the new train track being installed @themagician? 

[themagician]

Possibly, but they are both only closed for a couple days

I'm not saying they will install it in a couple of days, there would be a lot of preliminary jobs to be carried out before the track is laid.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

A lot of that preliminary work wouldn't need to shut down both rides. 

[Im Hungry]

The west side of drop is aiming for a October 15th reopening.

[Im Hungry]

Is anyone able to confirm whether or not the west side of drop is active again?

[gavinfulikes]

Tail Spin to reopen early on 25th. Shockwave pushed back to December 17.  Also the website now say Shockwave has been down since April 29 but it has been closed since February 1 I believe

[Smol bean]

Jesus this ride is closed for nearly a whole year that has to be longer than doomsday long maintenance a while back. 

[GoGoBoy]

Which seems strange because they are a hugely popular ride model and I haven't heard of any other parks having trouble with them. Happy to be corrected on that

[gavinfulikes]

Rainbows End's Invader Disk o Coaster was closed for a while last year due to issues with shipments of parts. Last time I visited DW, Shockwave's vehicle was lying in pieces.

[Thrill Seeker]

Giant Drop west is currently testing.

Its been about a decade since I visited dreamworld, did they ever do any improvements to MDMC or is it still the worlds most boring launch coaster.

What improvements would you be expecting?

A decent launch?

I guess I am just more suprised to see its still there tbh. I remember the second half of the layout being so uneventful and slow you are basically crawling by the time you hit the brake run. 

I felt that if it had an increased launch speed and sharper transitions it would actually be a decent coaster. Definitely dreaming here but even if they had renovated it to include a second launch into a more intense layout similar to jet ski rescue. 

I will forever be salty about this ride, its such a damn cool concept that was so poorly executed imo.

The launch is just fine, it’s the design of the track the eats the momentum up too quickly.

No doubt that 3/4 of the ride is uneventful. It’s still very popular, but more so as a family ride and a “step up” launch coaster for younger kids. It’s not what it should or could have been, but it has its place
