Water Ride Dreamworld

Perspex is hard to escape on the Log Ride now.

The awnings slide to either side, loosely fixed to the arched frame with four u-shaped brackets. The steel mechanism along the top of the of the awning locks into the eyes welded at the top of each arch. When down in this side position, the entire weight of the frame is rested on the tip of just one of the rather flimsy-looking u-shaped brackets in the back corner.

The awnings also appear to provide numerous pinch points for operators and guests alike. We'd also draw your attention to the gaffer taped upholstery.

The bizarre sliding awnings are the defining feature of the forthcoming Log Ride reopening and they raise a lot of interesting questions. Such as how staff will deal with the repetitive manual operation of these heavy steel devices. There don't appear to be any guide wheels, bearings or mechanisms to lessen the physical exertion needed to slide this into and out of position.

Nothing particularly dramatic has happened with the Log Ride in a number of weeks. Its reopening date has been completely removed from the Dreamworld website.

Beyond the fence, catwalks and railings were installed on the turn after the final drop. They've been painted brown to fit in with the surrounds.

More of that "Dreamworld touch", they've taken this opportunity to throw some random bits and pieces they've found around the ride as what could loosely be described as theming.

This Dreamworld ride is looking mostly pleasant as they prepare for reopening after a year of downtime.

There's a whole lot of perspex and stainless steel, ostensibly to discourage riders from standing up during the course.

It doesn't exist on any log flume ride anywhere else in the world, but this is the "solution" Dreamworld and consulting engineers came up with. All we need to know now is what the problem was...

The rider instruction signage doesn't appear to have changed despite the vastly altered boats and loading procedure.

The ride snakes its way around a rather inoffensive lawn and some minimally planted gardens.

Other sections looking not quite as fresh like this awning that was added a number of years ago.

It's due to reopen on January 1, and work is happening at a frantic pace to try and meet that target.
