Dreamworld's BIG new announcement!!! Is this the right choice? 

Hard to think Gumbaya will want it when they've got Rebel - but who knows really!

I think it’s unlikely, since Dreamworld stated its past the end of its service life

@@MaloneysCoasters It cant be all that well made if it can handle only 20 years especially when there are many old wooden coasters still operating around the world!!

@@crazenby1 That’s a misrepresentation. The 2004 Gyro Swing would be past its service life because Intamin have produced multiple new models of the Gyro Swing in the 20 years since, making spare parts more expensive. The phrase “past its service life” means Intamin no longer directly offers support for this model, making maintaining the ride too expensive to justify for the park since any new parts would have to be fabricated from scratch. There’s nothing wrong with the ride - if there was, they wouldn’t be keeping it open until the end of the summer. Wooden coasters often don’t face this issue because their parts are much more simple - structurally, they are just timber, and the non-timber components are fairly applicable to all wooden coasters regardless of model. This is why wooden coasters from defunct manufacturers such as CCI or the early coaster designers have been kept in operation by fabricating parts through another manufacturer or a third party This can also be done for steel coasters and rides like the Gyro Swing, but the risks of unlicensed spare parts from another manufacturer, or the cost of commissioning custom parts from Intamin, and the cost of paying for their fabrication, is probably not as viable in the long-term as paying for a new Gyro Swing and getting another 20-30 years of direct manufacturer support It’s sort of like when a version of Windows is no longer supported by Microsoft. You could keep running it, there’s nothing stopping you, but if you face any problems, you have to find a technician yourself who knows the old version and can help you, and pay them to fix it, which could be expensive. It can be a wiser investment to upgrade so that you can continue to get direct support from Microsoft. Same thing but with rides

@@MaloneysCoasters Okay Thanks
