16 reviews – “Very Good”

Gold Coast, Australia

Theme Park

The coaster featured blocking capabilities for two trains and the park did own two trains but two were rarely operated simultaneously. The braking system was a very basic system that is very different to that used on most modern coasters. Instead of using fins, plastic coated metal pads would compress the two sides of the trains, bringing it to a halt.

Thunderbolt Dreamworld

The ride featured a relatively simple, yet twisted, layout. Essentially it was a series of drops and turns.

The train also passed through the first of these loops.

Thunderbolt Dreamworld

Thunderbolt featured two 21m tall loops in direct succession after the first drop.

Thunderbolt Dreamworld

As trains enter the iconic golden loops they let out a loud roaring sound that can be heard througout the park.

Thunderbolt Dreamworld

It was anything but a smooth ride, but it still managed to provide a fun ride.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The concept of FlowRider was developed by Tom Lochtefeld of WaveLoch Inc. (USA). It isn't surpring that the idea came from his own surfing experience.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The attraction will be chiefly in "lie-down" mode for most of the day (i.e. body boarding style). At select times during the day Dreamworld will open it to standing for demonstrations and anyone who wants to give standing a go.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The attraction opens up the whole area quite nicely and will make views to the forthcoming water park that is being built in the background all the more spectacular for Dreamworld guests.

FlowRider is situated next to Cyclone, utilising part of the old Thunderbolt station.

FlowRider Dreamworld

Most of the professional riders that took part on the day started off pretty shakily, but as they kept at it they quickly got over the learning curve, as they expect most riders are able to do when first having a go.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The ride is $5 for a 30 minute session during the day at Dreamworld shared with 15 other guests, or you can come along for NightRider which is $20 for an hour shared with 12 other riders or $5 for non-riding spectators.

FlowRider Dreamworld

Much like most boarding sports, the FlowRider attraction is just as much a spectator sport as it is one for the participants.
