  • New 2015 footage of inside and outside the old mine ride at Dreamworld. As the ride closed down in 2006, there isn't any POV footage available. This video is the next best thing to a POV.

    I went to dream world a week ago and watched the demolishment of this beloved ride. I rode this as a child with my father and late poppy. Such good memories was very sad to see bits of the ride being thrown and cut down.

    I am surprised no one smashed their teeth out or something, on this ride, or fell out & died. Most un-safest ride I have ever been on. I went on this in 1995. I was 12yrs old. I was small, light & skinny and so the belt didn't fit by a mile (it was just some basic strap that went around your waist, there was nothing else!). It was so loose, it was like I didn't have a belt on at all. I hurt my arm on that ride. I wish I had known what to expect, before getting on. I certainly didn't expect that ride to be so fast & sudden with the direction changes.
    Then later that day, me & my father were waiting to go on the rollercoaster ride. We were standing in line for ages. We are finally at the front of the line, & among the next to get on ......when........ the power in the whole park goes out! All the rides were frozen. It scares me thinking about it, to this day. The thought of being halfway-through that rollercoaster ride when the power had went out ;(

    I went on a family holiday when I was 11 (2002). My sister who was 9 at the time rode that ride with me soo many times. There was no lines for that ride the day we went. We kept on going back on until our parents had to drag us away. I was sad to see it was closed on my last visit to the park (2014)

    For a wild mouse, it was extremely uncomfortable to ride even twice. And being so short and rider throughput focused it was often the park's shortest que time. I remember on Prime television (a Local news network) there were mechanical wear issues that Dreamworld CEOs condemned the ride years before they did close the ride. I recall this back in 1998 when the park expanded and Rumors from the staff on a day I visited at the park were talk of a re-theming the entire gold rush precinct. But as we all know now, it just sat unused. Dreamworld was the Gold coasts second contemporary Theam park, the first was "Sea-world".
