You arrive early at the park. You're greeted with Dreamworld's newest re-theme. "The Buzzbine" The highest inversion turbine experience in the Southern Hemisphere, BuzzBine is the first menacing turbine ride guests can spot as they arrive in the main car park. Just the sight of it will send chills through your bones. After spinning out on the Buzzbine, you make your way around to the "Thunder river turbine express rapids ride: sponsored by The Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme" All aboard for white water rafting! Travel down a foamy water track past the Gold Rush Turbine Country, speeding up to 45 km/h through the turbine generated turbulent rapids. You'll then be faced with "The Rocky Hollow Turbine Flume Ride" Splash down at the Rocky Hollow aboard hollowed-out turbines as they traverse the watercourse. Climb the aqueduct and plunge down the ramp at 50 km/h. Children must be over 1 turbine tall to ride. Still need more? That's ok, they've got you covered with "The Turbine of Terror 3" "We've already got turbines here, we've just added a few more" While there's plenty more turbine infused rides to choose from, why not head over and have lunch at "Turbine Island" You may remember this place for once having tigers. Not any more. We know what guests want. We've asked. You've said "more turbines". That's exactly what we've got here. Watch these amazing born-in-captivity turbines play around in their brand new, multi-million dollar enclosure and listen to expert talks from some of the best turbine workers in Australia.

This is Dreamworld we're talking about so lets be realistic. It's gonna be themed around a school of turbines flying around.

that's not a spin and spew it's a spin and stick

I think that's universal's MO though - they change out franchises as they lose relevance. I've just been on a VHS-conversion spree recently, and one of the tapes i've converted was a VHS tape sold in Universal Hollywood at the beginning of 1996. The tape showed (among other things) Fievel's playland (from an American Tale), BTTF: the ride, and the ET adventure. All of these things I remember from my 1996 visit - however just opened was the brand new blockbuster show - 'Waterworld'. Now I don't think you need to see the movie for Waterworld as a show to make sense. The narrative and storyline make it obvious who is good and who isn't... but Fievel, Doc Brown and ET are long gone from the Hollywood park... but - each attraction lasted for some time before it was removed. It also takes a year or two for them to build such an immersive and involving attraction and themed land. the WWoHP will stick around for quite some time - as did Jaws before it. When you build something this elaborate - you expect it to last the decade at least - take a look at PASS, or Gremlins Adventure, Batride, Bermuda... all engineered to last. The trouble was... we didn't replace them with an attraction of the same calibre.
