It features the worlds first installation of Mack's HybridTrain, which features a spinning pair of seats at the rear. Dreamworld have branded the experience "Tailwhip' and at the time of writing is a $25 upcharge.

The close proximity to the park entrance, combined with undoubtedly being the best ride in the park will see this ride stay busy all day.

Concrete will be sprayed and rendered over the cagework. The track is wrapped in plastic to protect it from any overspray.

Theming works are underway, with a rock arch just before the first corkscrew.

Trackwork is complete on Steel Taipan and that reverse spiral element is looking cool!

It'll look good strolling towards giant drop. Unintentionally, this end of the park has become a cluster of thrill rides.

A good chunk of the layout. All that remains to be installed at this end includes the helix after the airtime hill, the barrel roll, and the final turn and brakes.

After the corkscrews is a funky airtime hill that threads through the loop.

There has been much anxiety about whether the train will re-open at all, given the amount of track that has been disturbed or covered over to allow the coaster to be constructed, but here the park is reassuring guests it will return.

You can see how the track before the loop actually drops into a trench below ground level. Expect to see the announced themed tunnel element around here.

Fun Fact: Steel Taipan is the 2nd orange roller coaster in the history of the Gold Coast to feature two corkscrews.

Actually two corkscrews, mirrored against each other in a "twisted horsehoe" arrangement first seen on Maverick at Cedar Point.

You drop off the trim brake into a corkscrew.

Strangely, our version of the coaster has additional smaller supports between the main columns at some high load sections.

The track heads up to a trim brake, which washes off a bit of excess speed. On other "Blue Fire" clones this section is used as a mid course block brake to allow additional trains to operate.
