Sticking a sponsor/supplier's umbrella in the middle of the ride course is that "Dreamworld touch" we've come to know and love tolerate.
The roof back in place on the ride's pumphouse.
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...
Work underway installing these bizarre awnings on the boats.
The rider instruction signage doesn't appear to have changed despite the vastly altered boats and loading procedure.
The queue building is looking tidy and ready for summer queues.
The ride's signage ins once a gain on display with the large walls having been removed.
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.
The ride's course remains unchanged despite the removal of tunnels.
This winding section of the ride was enclosed for 35 years.
The removal of the tunnel gives the ride a much smaller feeling.
Testing has happened in recent days but the channel currently sits dry as work focuses on other areas of the ride.
The Log Ride prepares for reopening with riders now meandering around a simple lawn where once was a concrete tunnel.
The chairlift components are gone but it's clear that the themed structure will remain. They are currently remodelling the restroom facilities on the ground level.
The park is packed with guests, even in distant corners like the Vintage Cars.
Even the normally empty cafe at Corroboree attracts sizeable crowds.
