Dreamworld’s BuzzSaw is Retiring

[themagician]

Hopefully the park is allowed to reopen before the end of the month, otherwise there will be no more BuzzSaw

Better chance of MW buying BS to replace AA than anyone riding BS again at DW…

With the recent announcement of Cedar Point removing Wicked Twister in September, a piece of me is wishing and hoping Dreamworld grabs it, being a thrill coaster with a higher capacity than Buzzsaw. 
most likely not gunna happen and will probably stay within the Cedar Fair Chain, but I can wish

I don’t think we will see DW buy second hand rides again. Based off them removing anything to old or unreliable, they’ll only be buying good quality attractions (that doesn’t mean a good experience attraction, but more so rides that are reliable)

Imagine the GCB headlines. Just 6 years on from the Thunder River Rapids tragedy Dreamworld is installing a pre-owned ride

If you want to ride the BuzzSaw one last time, better get in quick because we could quickly head back into lockdown again

GoldCoaster was second hand, and until ST opens, it would have to be regarded as Dreamworld's flagship coaster right now...

I don't think there's anything wrong with second hand if the ride is being removed for progress reasons rather than maintenance or issues.

Given how Cedar announced the closure, it's safe to say the removal is for progress. WT probably has some life left in it, and would probably fit well into the old TOT footprint (pure guess), especially given the power requirements - but overall while it's probably got a solid decade left in it, I think the propulsion system is the biggest issue and its unlikely Dreamworld would want to take on another power beast.

I'd love to see it, but agree its probably never going to happen.

I’m 99% sure another cedar fair park is getting wicked twister (I think Great America from memory.)

ITs already gone through council and been approved in a DA.

Haha true! I was certain we were gonna be in for a longer stint in lockdown. 

one time where I’m very happy to be proven wrong

Visited DW today for one final ride on the BuzzSaw. Not busy at all. No real queue. It just shows, even with its announced closure, people aren’t too bothered to get their final ride in (when compared to TOT for example)

TOT was actually pretty fun though. Even while on life support

BuzzSaw's last cycle was actually a double cycle without the ride returning back to the station in between.

[Im Hungry]

That would've been cool to see. Right now I can only imagine what that would've been like...

[Brad2912]

So it ended just like it began…

Ride count aside, I won't miss it. It's a pity they couldn't stretch it out for another couple years till (hopefully) the next new thing opens. Wouldnt be against adding a Premier sky rocket to that exact site. 😆

Would you be against a S&S 4th dimension coaster?

I read a lot of mixed reviews about them. Is there like an old vs new model issue going on with them im missing or they are just that polarising? 

[New display name]

There is an old vs new, and I differently liked the old but the problem with the old is it was so dam expensive to build.  The new models have the same problem as Buzzsaw because some people like them and some people hate them.

Against is a strong word, but they don't excite me particualy. Purely a personal taste thing. I also haven't been on one, so I would try and stay open minded during construction, from what I've seen I think most people think they're good fun.

A 4D Freespin or a 4th Dimension Coaster?

I've only ridden the original 4th Dimension Coaster X2 and it's a wild ride and wholely unique, but I feel it would be too dividing on the Australian scene as it's truly an enthusiast coaster.

The 4D Freespins seem to get decent reviews, especially the newer ones, but I feel for the small footprint Coasters more people are positive about the Premier Sky Rocket II's
