    I don’t think it’s the gaps, I think it’s from the openings where the coaster track goes outside that daylight comes in

    Yes agreed. If they don’t then we won’t see further progress. Cash doesn’t grow on trees unfortunately.

    No I mean outside of his remuneration. I mean for DW to see record ticket sales, market share, etc

    That is disclosed in coast entertainments financial report . Already granted . This is a step in right direction but still a long way to go to get the business in better shape .

    Greg has been working tirelessly to turn DW around for 5-6ish years… and it’s done it by leading from the forefront. The man deserves some reward from his efforts via ticket sales, market share and share price *he’s

    I have never watched the movie but $100m has been spent and they couldn’t get a CG animation on a screen remaking this where the mural is currently? How are they doing things worse than 2 years ago?

    This is an example of what a good boss looks like. Some of us might have worked jobs where your crappy manager/owner will do nothing and sit at his desk and not interact with anyone as opposed to acting in a front facing role towards customers when you can. Hopefully the reception of the two areas from general audiences after Boxing Day is similar to the observations on here and causes the tide to change. I mean not having aircon or fans in parts of queues for rides in Oz should do that by itself, if movie world doesn’t change that ASAP they are kidding themselves. It’s time Greg and his team’s efforts in turning dreamworld around get rewarded

    Even with low expectations of VRTP I was surprised there was this bit of Arkham hidden (but still guest accessible). I’m sure there was a reason to build the mural further out in the courtyard but would have expected this to get the “cover it all in green paint” treatment the rest of the path to Scooby did.

    Tidbit about this from opening day: The drivers seat itself can now be slid forwards so that kids can reach the pedal.
  14. Dean Barnett
    I've got an idea that could fix this.

    Single rider was open, it is quite far into the queue though just before the actual loading station. Same area you chose to start forward or backward.

    I'm so glad to see Greg and Michelle being so hands on with the park, and all the projects. It really does make a difference when you have people who are passionate about what they do. It's also great to see how far they have come since working with them many years ago back when Michelle was just a supervisor down at Movie World. Just goes to show that true passion and hard work really pays off. It's almost like they are not just running the park as a business, but it's like a passion project for them. Have the right people, in the right place doing the right thing and it's truly amazing to see the end results. I can't wait to check it out in April when I'm next up the coast

    Anyone know if the single rider was open?

    It’s all movie. So it’s a long way of public domain still
  20. Coppertine
    It's based on the 1940 film, they have the licensing for it. Like 80% of the visuals and audio are based off the film.
  21. aaronm
    Assuming this land is based on the book it’s all public domain IP, so no licensing fee.

    Attended the opening of Rivertown this morning and so I can directly compare Movieworld's and Dreamworlds. Dreamworld opened the doors to the park about 9:55am (and had a small contingent of VIPs and Theme Park enthusiasts in at 9:30am) and then had up to Rivertown gated off. At 10:05am we were then escorted down to outside the Jungle Rush coaster and there was about 15/20 mins of speeches and then the ride was ready to go. From the beginning the rides were open, stayed up for most of the day (Jungle Rush had a few periods of short down time) and the experience was really enjoyable. There were plenty of staff rostered on, the area looks amazing and well themed (and i am sure there is more to come, but it looks pretty much finished) and the radio was there giving out prizes. It felt like a true 'opening'. I really like that Greg acknowledges theme park enthusiasts in his speeches and is so connected to the community needs. It's a much more humble approach to theme park management. His offsider Michelle (I believe she is Ops manager) spent the morning in the control booth of JR then went and helped serve at the Rivertown Restaurant, it is not uncommon to see Greg helping in these back of house areas, it shows that even the exec team will jump on board and help out - it's a really good look. This is in direct contrast to Bikash who was quick to scoop into the VIP fast pass queue at 10:05am for the WoZ rides. Dreamworld was alive today and it's great to see the hard work they are putting in paying off.

    Amazed if either is even on the GC….
  24. Michelangelo
    I’ve really tried to remain unbiased, but damn the differences in openings are polarising. I really hope Clark or Bikash get a chance to visit Dreamworld today for some learnings they can apply to MW…

    Great feed, chips super crunchy and schnitty is big. Awesome spot to stop for lunch, will be my new go to when here.
  26. RobC
    Quite busy, about 45 minute wait for jungle rush running two trains. Ride ops are consistent though! Have a few radio pop up gazebos giving out merch. Not even going to attempt the cars. Queue is full. Sadly steel taipan is only running one train, hopefully bring the other out for the boxing day crowds. Hour + wait Trying out the Restaurant for lunch, theming again is great!
  27. New display name
    How are the crowds @RobC?
  28. Brad2912
    It’s a 4 person serve. Look at the photo. It’s a literal platter if anything I think it’s great value
