In addition to biodegradable oil, a containment system has been installed along the launch track that will ensure that leaks will flow into this conduit for safe handling of any major or minor spills.

The trains will be launched right out of the station into the ride's course.

Motocoaster Dreamworld

Because of the huge distances the pressurised oil must travel and the likeliness for leaks is typical for hydraulic systems, Dreamworld is using a biodegradable oil in the hydraulic systems.

There are hundreds of metres of piping to transport the pressurised oil to the 48 drive wheels found on the launch track.

By using a smaller pump that constantly operates rather than a system that only operates during the launch period, it allows for overall lower installation and operating expenses.

The hydraulic pump that charges the previously shown accumulator. This operates constantly to deliver a steady flow of fluid into the accumulator. The launch is achieved by releasing the stored energy in the accumulator.

The complexity of a ride like this is shown by the sheer number of cables and pipes.

The accumulator system, where compressed hydraulic fluid is pumped to prepare for each launch. This is kept in a separate room from the other components in the back-of-house area due to the nature of the highly compressed gasses and oils used.

Bob Tan, General Manager Special Projects, demonstrates the seating procedure. As riders lower the front section of the bike into place, the bar will automatically tilt into position behind them.

In addition to the bikes, there will also be two sidecars found at the rear of the trains. These will allow smaller riders to safely ride to create a family-oriented thrill ride experience.

Riders will mount the bikes and lock into position.

The riders on the far side will cross over to the far side of the station for quicker loading of both riders.

A look at the first of two trains on the coaster. The bikes are life-sized 500cc replicas.

The finished station area will not feature bare concrete, but will be decorated to fit in with the racing theme.

Motocoaster Dreamworld

Loose items can be stored in the provided rack area (at the rider's risk). The rack will rotate to allow safer storage simultaneously for up to three trainloads of passengers.
