Next up on our Aussie tour was Dreamworld!

Oooh! Looks like TPR may learn something today!

First we were given good bags filled with surprises...

Then we were introduced to the "Dreamworld Challenge", a scavenger hunt that would put TPR teams against each other!

But first we were taken on a backstage tour of the park...

First we checked out the water park filled with all kinds of great Proslide rides.

We checked out the water filtration and heating systems.

Head of maintenance, Bob, explained how the filter systems work.

Perilite for the filtration system or what Charlie Sheen calls Saturday night...you decide!

Next was a behind the scenes look at one of the most anticipated coasters of the trip! Tower of Terror 2!

We got to look under the vehicle.

They explained how the track is not welded to the supports, but is placed in these grooves so it can have flexibility to shift back and forth.

arently these are a pretty hot commodity to parks that run an Intamin Reverse Freefall coaster.

They let us check out the ride manual.

Here's the control panel.

And a very efficient way for riders to store their stuff. This swings out towards the car, so it's easy and quick to put away your bags, and then swings back so departing riders aren't in the way when the next train boards. What a GREAT idea!

Here are the new backwards trains.

Dreamworld claims they first had the idea of the backwards car in 1996.

And then of course...TPR got ERT on TOT2!

Backwards Tower of Terror is awesome!!!
