Thanks for that vague inside scoop.

But why do u want it gone if it is a popular crowd puller for families and people looking for 'light thrills'?? Every ride in a park can't be a record breaker or a insane thrill ride. In my opinion, removing if would cause more negativity towards the park than there currently is. I think you (and others) just need to let go. You've just hooked onto this idea without any real base for your opinion. You may as well just say to remove every ride u don't like or don't ride. Why not rip up the Dreamworks area and build a coaster there? Because the park has to cater for everyone!

If I was thrown in as management and was told I only had a few million to turn the park around, i'd rip every square inch of motocoaster and Mick Doohan branding (not to be confused with themeing) off the coaster, strip it bare, and turn it into some jungle bikes themed ride and attempt to revive some dignity back to that god-awful corner of the park known as "rivertown." Let's face it, the station is poorly designed, the building is ugly, and the whole project is essentially the steaming tip of the current Dreamworld dog turd. Dreamworld kept virtually everything studio-wise that was theirs in place because it would've cost money to actually do anything that required effort. Simple as that. That's why the Big Brother Compound itself was in such destitute before the show got picked up again. We're all forgetting here we've got a large group of managerial hot-heads who are never, ever, ever going to admit they cocked up at some point over the past few years. Park morale is at an all time low. Long-standing employees are leaving because of this. The park is the way it is because of management, management and management. Sure, another park down the road may have had similar issues. The key difference however is Village are experience-orientated and driven, have a great park lineage, are self-aware and thus bounced back quick. Ardent is a different beast. From the cutback ride hours, the steam trains, to the SBNO attraction list that probably outdoes some parks that are actually closed permanently, to the clusterfuck streak of mishandled decisions (IMAX & Goldie the Clown is just a starter), it's clear that management are on another planet entirely, and clearly don't give a rats except for numbers and riding the brand for every cent its worth. Settle in lads, we're in the long haul.

Oh god where do I start? Someone comes on to post a rumor about a new ride (which has been done before (by WWW Worker) and RWC suddenly has the inside goss that it HAS TO BE a coaster... Ok - so you later correct yourself and continue the speculation - but anyway moving on - the point about building a big woodie out where the studios are makes a hell of a lot of sense. As for why they didn't do it the first time - who is to say that the networks weren't in talks with the production company from day one? Dreamworld may have known it was coming, and hence why they didn't do anything with the studio site? In the end - stick a big woodie out there - and the skyline would be amazingly changed....coasters pretty well from end to end. Sure its a few years off (BB has to have it's run again) but I sincerely doubt if 9 axes it for poor ratings (which they eventually will), nobody will be game enough to revive it again... clearing that site for DW to construct a beautiful woodie in it's place. In my opinion - the cost of building a woodie wouldn't be that different to building one in the US - usually when we compare costs to construct, the Australian coasters have far higher costs for three reasons - shipping, labour costs, and OH&S requirements. The shipping cost here would be virtually non-existent (just the coaster cars would need to be shipped - and if they moved quickly - the old Bush Beast cars are for sale!)
