rabid disney Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Hi guys and gals Thanks to message board member Nathan who was cool to send these photos of dreamworlds next coaster, I give you a construction update. ozcoaster.net/content/view/63/27/
coastermaniac1 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for the link. Is there any stats for this coaster yet or any more information?
SigENeaT Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I guess its good to see more coasters propping up in Aus, but why cant they build something exciting for goodness' sake!? Then again, my rants are premature going on the pictures available so far! Fingers crossed it ends up being something which would help justify a 4,000km trek from the West Coast! =D
deano Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 ^ Yup, i need another excuse to go to QLD so that i can ride Superman Escape again. Not fair, where's our new coaster in W.A.?
Thom25 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks for the pictures and update. Very interesting. I do have a couple of questions after doing some research. In the pics, it looks like the ride is already verticle (left side of pic), but the track pictured looks like S&S, while I found these pictures of the track: http://ozcoaster.net/content/view/51/27/ Has the park made an official announcement yet?
TPDave Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I think thats just another ride in the first set of pics. Looks like it's outside of the construction site.
Thom25 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 ^ Yup, you're probably right. It is interesting to see the track arrived in February, and the footer are now being poured in June?
rabid disney Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 ^ the track in the update you are looking at is for Wet N Wild and the footers I posted is for Dreamworld, The Gold Coast has 6 theme parks and we are getting two coaster in total this year.
Thom25 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 You are absolutely right - sorry about that. Next time I'll take my time and really research a topic before posting.
IwantRevenge Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 In the pics, it looks like the ride is already verticle (left side of pic), but the track pictured looks like S&S, while I found these pictures of the track: http://ozcoaster.net/content/view/51/27/ Has the park made an official announcement yet? those pictures are for the Halfpipe correct?
SigENeaT Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 ^ Yup, i need another excuse to go to QLD so that i can ride Superman Escape again. Not fair, where's our new coaster in W.A.? Adventure World is too busy coming up with more 'packup' thrill rides methinks. They have bucket loads of land; how much would a small to mid sized woodie cost?
downunder Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 For those of you confused this new update is about the rumoured Intamin Booster Bike (I believe it will be the first one for Intamin), and the construction site that has been established at Dreamworld for the new attraction. There is a separate update about the Intamin Halfpipe coaster that is going in at Wet and Wild. I'm going up to Queensland tomorrow, more Superman Escape loving: woo-hoo.
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I know this will have a slower launch, and the ride will be family friendly, so I'm expecting something along the lines of Rita in terms on intensity. It looks like it will an out and back coaster, but I hope it is not a near clone of the Booster Bike coasters. I hope to follow the construction of this coaster, and it will probably be the year's sleeper hit.
the sound Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 ^ Yup, i need another excuse to go to QLD so that i can ride Superman Escape again. Not fair, where's our new coaster in W.A.? Where's our new theme park in Melbourne!
deano Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 ^ Yup, i need another excuse to go to QLD so that i can ride Superman Escape again. Not fair, where's our new coaster in W.A.? Adventure World is too busy coming up with more 'packup' thrill rides methinks. They have bucket loads of land; how much would a small to mid sized woodie cost? Your right, they've got the land and in my opinion are busy enough in summer to justify it. We'll just have to keep dreaming though because Adventure World is owned by the same company that owns Dreamworld, and i'm sure that right now, they are concentrating on competing with Movie World and Superman Escape......(daydreams about SE for about 5 mins). ^ Yup, i need another excuse to go to QLD so that i can ride Superman Escape again. Not fair, where's our new coaster in W.A.? Where's our new theme park in Melbourne! but your closer to QLD than we are, it's a much cheaper flight for you. Plus you've got Luna Park................. um, well, at least your closer to QLD.
SigENeaT Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Edit: Snipped rant about Melb being closer! I guess we should cut you guys some slack beacuse you wont be able to drive any decent cars until you are like 25 >.>
coastermaniac1 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Horrible yellow coloured 2 rail Intamin track is now onsite. Footers are done: Lots more pictures here: http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=180&page=1
deano Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Dreamworld already has 1 yellow (crappy) coaster, why the hell would they make the new one yellow too?
