Project Details

Alder Constructions was awarded the challenging task of delivering Dreamworld’s newest world class flying simulator. This family attraction is the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and boast special effects such a wind, sound, light, mist and various scents, providing a complete 4D simulated ride experience.

The design and construction evolved in parallel which in turn provided the Sky Voyager team with logistically challenging decisions including daily changes testing an already tight programme. Open communication and common goals allowed Alder Constructions and stakeholders to manage complicated works effectively within a live operational environment.
