G'day guys,
My first post here, so I'll try and make it informative.
It was reported in Brisbane's Courier Mail today that Dreamworld has purchased the Big Dipper from Sydney's Luna Park. The article can be found at:
http://www.couriermail.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,2014728%255E3102,00.html Just in case they remove these stories from their page each day, I'll post the article here.

Now, some questions from those who have ridden on the Big Dipper.
First, is it any good? I'd heard rumours that Dreamworld were going to build a wooden roller-coaster as thier new attraction, which I was certainly looking forward too. Will this make a good substitute?
Secondly, the article mentions that it will form the center-peice of a $5m new attraction. How much would you estimate the Big Dipper would cost. I'm just wondering if Dreamworld have any more tricks up their sleeve.
Finally, any idea where this ride is going in the park? Is the thunderbolt being taken down? It would be my least favourite ride at Dreamworld, and it always seems to have somewhat short ques.
Anyway, cheers.
