The surfboards – which were completely refurbished a few years ago but weathered quickly – remain missing.
Wipeout remains one of the final rides still closed. As one of the park's oldest and most complex rides it's not too surprising.
Dreamworld gets in early for Christmas 2017!
As work continues on the reconfigured exit point for the park, Dreamworld have neatly placed this temporary stall in front of the construction fencing.
The Lego Store gets a sensibly sized logo that would make branding experts happy, but clients scream, "Can you make it bigger???"
Continuing our theme of largely meaningless car park photos, here's Dreamworld's at midday. Best guess is 60-70% full.
Let's hope that the redevelopment of Viking's Revenge Flume Ride fixes this confusing labarynth of dead-ends and blocked off paths.
The Viking boats sent off to digital zoom hell.
What's that giant billboard photo on the right?
"It doesn't look like anything to me..."
With a replacement apparently not due until 2019, we'll likely be looking at this standing-but-not-operating ride for some time yet.
So many lockout tags. You get the impression they really don't want the ride to accidentally start up.
Rubble has appeared in the Viking's Revenge station, though doesn't appear to have come from anywhere nearby on the ride. It does create the illusion that something's happening with the ride though.
The basketball game has been relocated from the front of the park to make way for Carnivale's main stage.
AusParks.com.au say it's a long shot that we'll see a B&M coaster replace Viking's Revenge Flume Ride in 2019. I'd say it's a long shot that Sea World even know what they're filling the area with given how far off its replacement is and Sea World's penchant for changing their minds.
The Ninja Turtles show draws a sizeable crowd in the afternoon sun.
Our favourite theme park bar is still great. You know what would help staff and guests here though? Signage instructing where to queue, and also noting that you should have a table number ready before you order food. The staff here spend their days trying to kindly convey these two points to guests.
The main stage. We'd show you some bands playing here during Carnivale, but you know... daytime and all...
The view from the main path along the back has all the charm of a local sports club kiosk.
The closed midway games that fill half of the plaza.
Here's an empty stage for Carnivale.
