Certainly not the biggest thing at Dreamworld, but its central location does make it visible from much of the park.
This morning the gondola arm was fitted.
With The Claw being officially announced yesterday, it's good to see construction coming very close to completion.
This firehouse was located where the entrance to Lethal Weapon now stands.
This is the original Batmobile, before even The Penguin had entered the scene.
This is the post-ride section of Warner Bros. Classics & The Great Gremlins Adventure Gallery, a three-part ride. Sound effects and smoke accompanied to car crash to make it adequately realistic. In the background is the set to the Western Action Show.
Young Einstein Gravity Homestead was quite popular in its early years.
The sign at the entrance. It's rare to find a sign that sums up a ride experience as well as this.
Today construction on the Gyro Swing took a major step with the support structure being completed. The axis of the swing will be directly through the circular sections at the apex. The major components, such as motor etc., will be attached to the main structure where the temporary white bars are currently seen near the top.
This toboggan is the second longest in Australia.
Tango Train is the same style of ride as those seen travelling to most of Australia's shows.
The ride's station housing and all but two of the sleds were destroyed in the Canberra bushfires of early 2003.
The coaster has a cable lifthill. The system uses steel chocks fixed on the cable, which the toboggans hook onto.
A further unique aspect of the final straight is that the train passes through an underground tunnel to get to the station.
To bring the train back to station level, there is a gentle upward slope, assisted by kicker wheels positioned along the track.
The final drop of the ride smoothly curves down, followed directly by a two banked turns.
Following the turns in the carpark section, there are a series of drops. Initially they start out as non-curved drops, with minimal transitions.
When the ride was originally built, there was little underneath the ride. Since redevelopments around 2000, the ride is now above a nicely landscaped parking area.
The track is a very gently downward slope, so a buildup of speed will be gradual, though I'm sure impressive as the train starts moving faster and faster.
The carpark section of the ride comprises firstly of several meandering curves.
