Dreamworld Ride - Wipeout

This ride is called the "Wipeout". This ride is known very well at dreamworld and is one of the "Big 7" Thrill Rides. It is located in ocean parade at dreamworld, Coomera, Queensland, Australia. The ride looks like a top spin, except the arms can go in different direction and the left arm and move side to side. The ride goes upside down lots of times.

This ride is only 1 of 2 left in the world. This ride is made by Vekoma, and is a Vekoma Waikiki Wave Super Flip.
The other one is in Mexico at six flags called huracan (Hurricane). Except that one isnt as fast and flipy, its a Vekoma Waikiki Wave not a super flip.

It fits 40 people, 20 on each side. The harneses are all done automaticly, a harness, and a lap bar. They are the tightest harnesses you will ever find! On one of the days i got stuck up side down! The best part of the ride is when it stops then for 10 seconds it does a very slow upisde down turn then a quick backflip.

The scenery has sand, beach houses, a very big wave (which you have to walk through to go on board) pier, life guard seat, a beach closed and tsunami warning signs and other scenery items that fit the ride perfectly. From 1993 (when the ride was built) till September 2007 the ride also used to have 30cm deep water and a fake great white shark named fluffy circling under neath with water jets that sprayed water at you. But because of water restrictions it has been removed also because its safer and at the end of the day the ride operators had to go in to collect lose items that had fallen in.

Anyway this was taken on the 19th July 2010 at 11:30am. On my Nokia E63 phone (not my camera).

Enjoy!
