Dreamworld

Roller Coaster Mack Rides

Not a whole lot to see yet on site.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

An interesting side effect of the site works; we can see right through to the old Blue volcano, another disused part of the park that still remains undemolished years after closure.

The previously hilly site has been flattened, giving us a clear view to the Dreamworld Express train shed.

Dreamworld Express Steel Taipan Dreamworld

A collection of anchor cages is piling up in the corner of the compound. These are cast into the top of the foundations, with bolts arranged such that supports can sit precisely in position. Mack Rides are well known for their cream coloured anchor cages, so many a coaster fan has identified a Mack ride might be coming simply by spotting these on site.

As soon as one shipping container is emptied in the fenced off staging and storage lot, another is brought in for unloading.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

It's still not clear when the roller coaster will be built given Ardent Leisure's ongoing financial uncertainty and the global situation with COVID-19, but at this point Dreamworld have to unload and store parts for an attraction that's already making the long shipping journey from Germany piece-by-piece.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

There's not a whole lot of twist to these upward-curved pieces of track unloaded so far, so there's a good indication they'll form part of the vertical loop, one of the few sections of the ride to not feature side-to-side twisting.

Another piece of very curved, straight track is unloaded.

by Parkz, 4 years ago

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

The tops are open to allow cranes to lift the pieces of track from the containers.

More track awaits unloading from open-topped shipping containers.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

Lots of interesting columns like this one will be dotted around to support the spaghetti bowl of track once built.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

Bold and undoubtedly very visible from the highway once assembled. Though not a whole lot in common with its presumptive namesake taipan snake.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

Once again Logan Steel are tasked with assembling this flat-packed array of steel into a world-class roller coaster. This local company has built many of the Gold Coast's past roller coasters including DC Rivals HyperCoaster.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

The colour scheme of the ride is very bold and industrial with contrasting dark grey support columns and "high vis" orange track.

by Parkz, 4 years ago

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

The latest is this bright – very bright – orange track.

Steel Taipan Dreamworld

More and more roller coaster parts from Mack Rides fill the car park at Dreamworld.
