Ardent: We have poor results due to the weather. Village: We have good results despite the weather.

Me? I'm lovely to everyone! FWIW, if this turns out to be true, feel free to bring our attention to this thread and point out how right you were, and we'll even believe what you say in the future because of it too. In the meantime though, I don't believe it. Nothing personal, just seems like a fanciful story to me. Myself and Djrappa and others often have occasions where we can't reveal our sources, but 90% of the time we're right, and even when we're wrong it's often because plans changed (I know I can't prove that but believe me it's happened). That's why people listen when we say stuff. There are many other posters on here who have the same respect from me, and that's just the way forums work. Don't feel bad about it, just accept it, and if you're continually right people will believe you in the future too.

I concur with pushbutton, thank you Jacob. If anything Jacob has provided an interesting point of discussion that is much needed in our comparatively quiet industry. If he doesn't want to disclose the full details of what he knows to protect other people, that's fine. He could've kept the information to himself and I'm sure he, along with other members, will do so in the future knowing that half of us will strike them down. I personally think that's a shame and will eventually lead to a community that no one will enjoy being part of.

Unfortunaltly I agree with people who say get rid of the ride. I think the park is stronger without it. At the very least it needs new train which does away with the current seating. Maybe Jet Rescue style seats with a motor bike theme? Anyway, it needs a new train and a retheme. Thing is even after you do that it'll still be a weak ride, so it's probably not worth the cash. IMHO, they should just get rid of it, put a real blockbuster ride there and retheme the area

The next person to suggest tearing down the Motocoaster and putting the vintage cars back is getting banned.* *if I was a mod

Are you aware of the irony? My apologies for trying to keep the train on the rails. My opinion? If JacobSibbald has heard a rumour, cool. Should we question his authenticity? Absolutely. Should we be constructive about it and positive rather then negative, condescending and derail an entire thread so the opinions of few can be found to be right and justified? I don't enjoy reading pages of unsubstantiated junk just as much as the next guy. But this isn't the first time everyone's jumped on some poor sod who's just tried to participate. Hell, I remember being the guy with crazy rumours at one point. So let's be adults, yeah? Maybe then the lurkers, the google searchers, the new enthusiasts will actually want to register and post too, and that way we'll have a forum for likeminded peeps who want to share with other likeminded peeps, instead of the two/three thread race filled with the same people bickering like we have currently. /end rant. With the exception of Green Lantern, i'd dare say we're a little inversion poor. Has anyone else been on Takabisha, in Fuji-Q Highlands? I found it very intense and quite amazeballs to ride, particuarly with the hidden barrel roll and the 120 degree drop. Would this make a good fit? It's marketable, it's the right capacity and i'd dare say the right price too (roughly). If dreams came true i'd kill for a B&M Batman Clone. If fantasies were actually possible (some of them are, technically, if you know what I mean) a 4D Coaster much like Dinoconda would actually put Dreamworld on the map again for another 15 years (considering that's what TOT/GD did afterall). ALSO, I don't think Dreamworld's done anything truly commendable since The Claw in 2004. Even Tower of Terror 2 was bastardised to a certain degree, with more of the same lacklustre themeing and questionable extended tunnel blocking off half the park, and let's not go into: [*]how putting Flowrider in a dry park is a smart idea with water park next door [*]ripping out one of the better family attractions to put in a wad of concrete in called MDMC [*]stopping the boat people (Paddlewheeler) [*]Shockwave (remember the "blue green-ocean themeing" turning out to be spraypainted wood chips?) [*]ripping out the helipad for an obversation deck of the car park and BuzzSaw [*]Mine Ride. Yeah. [*]AVPX in Ocean Parade (Yes, I get it works well for corporate nights to put all your shit in one area. But its still a bad idea) [*]Taking the water out from underneath Wipeout [*]The Main Street Roof. Oh god, the Main Street Roof. [*]IMAX? What IMAX? [*]being illusive about the Looney Tunes Ride replacement timeframe.

Maybe this is half of Dreamworld's $25m spend?

The constant bickering and arguing on this site is getting on in years...

^ I might return to the park
