This is going to be awkward as hell for those people who sleep in the nude.....

I know they only recently fixed it up, but....... time to replace the wipeout?

As if the parks weren't busy enough, now every cat and their dog will be getting memberships. Disney did this years ago (albeit more expensive) but it is believed it is one of the major contributing factors that the Disneyland resort no longer has an off season. Now was the time with this pass to introduce blackout periods and different tiers, and they just blew it. Good work!

I think OG is using the word 'replacement' in the same way that we say Junior Driving School replaced LTRR. It occupies the same landspace (in part) as the space that was previously for the former attraction. in that sense - COTD is what replaced Wild in terms of that space... and just like JDS - isn't really up to the standard of the former attraction (or planned attraction) and wasn't a direct replacement... but I do agree jungle animals in an ocean themed park wasn't the best of ideas. Dinosaur Island - although many 'expected it' to be gone in 12 months (June'12 - June'13) it did in fact stay in the park until June'14 - or two years. COTD was always intended to be temporary, but longer term than Dinosaur Island (based on FoF information) - so i think it's safe to assume COTD will be around longer than 2 years (and the discovery trail, ranger and collector cards is a great idea to keep it 'current')... all SW needs to do to refresh it is release a 'new set' of cards, and suddenly it's a whole new attraction for card collectors again... Anyone who is unaware of the impact these card collections can have needs to visit Woolworths and Coles facebook pages when they've got those items on a promo. People go NUTSO SKITSO for them. I've seen a BOX of Jamie's Garden cards sell for $150... for something people get FOR FREE \ With Purchase. Sea World are GIVING THESE AWAY (and giving you even more when you spend $20 in an outlet). Finally the Marketing Mystery Wheel has landed on a good idea....

COTD isn't a replacement attraction, the scale of COTD is no where near what was going to be required for Wild. I don't even think COTD is seen as a permanent attraction, it will be similar to Dinosaur Island and be around for 12 months.

So finally Dreamworld worked out how overpriced these things were lol... yay for price reductions ???

Someone should spank that monkey, very naughty. Barnaby Joyce has offered to euthanize the offending animal personally.

Found this on my Facebook news feed, and I can't seem to find anything about in on Theme Parks.com.au. Looks like this will be the new Gold Pass!
