You may well find that's not the case. Most of the manufacturers have kits at a couple of price-points, and the more expensive kit is often quite upgradable, whereas the cheaper is not. If they happened to have purchased something that was nearing end-of-life and was not the top model it's quite conceivable that it was aging rapidly, whereas the rest of the M9 fleet may not be. This will vary anyhow, since different outlets have been seen running different gear. @The Original Belinda Brown - you're doing a great job on your responses. Really, quite impressive.

I like my job. :-)

Look, @reanimated35. They fixed the patch ????

Why am I seeing the same bloody photo of the booth three times? ?

Morning, Just popped in quickly before heading out to greet our guests today, so I will answer a few questions left overnight that other forum users have not already answered for me :-) @reanimated35 - We wanted used a different coating which should be a higher grade of the non-slip varnish originally on the stage. @AlexB - Much of your query has been answered already. 7 years is a long time for anything tech-based. There are also many components to running a themed attraction such as licensing, visitation, and staffing- all needs to be considered when choosing new directions. @Jamberoo Fan - 1. Contrary to popular belief, our industry is as supportive of each other as it is competitive. We all have interests in each other on a multitude of levels. Ideas, technology (not just rides but POS systems etc), tourism, of course some competition however all Theme parks strive to have a slice of the market appropriate to their style of park. We often talk and share. 2. This is a completely subjective response, you see each group is different. Young families enter and head straight, Teens often turn right, groups of mixed ages tend to negotiate or split. AS you would imagine the back of the park i.e. Corroboree is the last to fill as guests stop along the way to experience what they come across, and it is the first to empty as guests naturally migrate back towards the exit. If we have a major ride down then the whole pattern of the guests changes, as does having a certain promotion in park. Thus the reason to move away from suggested itineraries and move more towards build your own experience itinerary. A, because guests get to structure their experience around their personal interests, and this would allow us to collect better data on the who, how and when. 3. I will let the forum guys get that for you, because again the experience is subjective i.e. I prefer Giant Drop at night west side, but I am sure this will be wildly contested. 4. We've kept 1 or 2 of them all and we do hope to have the time to go through our archives at some point to display some of the really fun items. It is a task though, we've had a long time to hoard. 5. I have no idea. I will ask around. 5.a See @reanimated35 reply. 7. No, as it would be seen to be commercial content for which we are not allowed to provide within this forum. Good rule, as I also would not have time :-) Of course we consider WhiteWater World part of Dreamworld, but it is WhiteWater World. Just as I would consider SkyPoint as part of Dreamworld but it is most definitely standing alone. A water park is its own entity during hotter months and during the winter months it is a bonus. Around the world many water parks only open for a portion of the year, we keep our guy going. But Ibis Island... well that is not its name, it was what I called it. My apologies if it seemed "official".

*posts the same picture three times* ME ? also welcome to the forums Clayton, let's see who gets to -1000 first,

@XxMrYoshixX thanks for including a picture of tree for clarification

Probably a fountain

That's a pretty impressive footer for a single rock

I'll definitely be there early that morning. Hopefully I'll bump into you two!

@Zanstabar what time? I'll be heading in during the morning. I think @JaggedJanine was thinking of doing the same (we usually meet up and wander around together ) so that could very well be possible if you'll be there early

In regards to the MDMC, I think the main issue I have with it is ride comfort. I know it would be costly, but I think it would definitely be worth while, not just in ride comfort, but loading speed. New trains like the one shown below seems to be a lot simpler and more comfortable. It would be nice to seem some modifications to the track to provide more drops, but I don't think that would be feasible now.

IMO that would be because the US parks have the money to throw at a bunch of stuff at once and get them all confirmed. It wouldn't surprise me if all our parks had attractions lined up for the next 5-10 years but change the plans every month when something pops up unexpectedly and pushes the budget out a bit. We'd probably be hearing about a new coaster in 2020 or something if they were able to confirm it was going ahead. Look what happened when Sea World tried to advertise 'wild' too early.

I think they have had a few issues with the install. Arms went up. Arms went down. Gear guard went on. Gear guard went off.

This is not going to end well.

Seriously - the race is on for Pop...

Just to make sure you didn't miss it the first time

Tiger Island pic for today

Now what if you "accidentally" left this "project list" on a table, and just happened to "accidentally" take a photo of it, then by some amazing coincidence just happened to "accidentally" send me said photo.......

This could be interesting...

Update from TPSN. We can now see the space where the door into the show stage (used during FN) has been left open. And the slab, for what I'm assuming is for the queue line has been laid.

Hi @Ashley - No plans for either ride to go anywhere. Can't see it being left just as a big Tower landmark, it would have to become something. No new rides planned for WhiteWater World this year due to current project list but we might do something special to mark the birthday occasion.

It is too!!! I give up.

Thank you @Theme Park Girl !!! Great pics. I can't get out of my head that a walk through of a dry River Rapids would be tremendous. I don't know why, it's just there and won't go away! :-D Add the Mine Ride into that too. Thanks again. The theme parks should give you a job doing this.

Here you go @UpperCoomera... As promised. I may have more on my laptop, will have a look tomorrow when it's not 1.30am ??

I'd read that as "it's M9's thing" so why should they compete with themselves. As in, why pay for M9 if you have a dreamworld pass and can do it for free while you're doing a bunch of other fun stuff?

No worries @UpperCoomera And don't worry, I have similar fascinations that others would find weird lol. I drive my family nuts because I love to take photos of "everything" I'm currently trying to get a photo of every coaster on the Goldie in an empty state (ie. no passengers) as a personal challenge. And, unlike the majority of the population, I actually WANT a ride to break down whilst I am on it. Especially Scooby Doo! Never happens, though We all have our own quirks, I guess

Should've gone to Specsavers

never knew a garden was a fountain...

It has been one of the ideas that has been discussed. Hey, Theme Park Girl pretty much answered that for you. Fluffy retired :-( Hi ClassyDeadra, 1. The technology was really dated and became almost a full time job to keep it going. So when talking about what we would have to do to keep it going we decided that we would be better off letting this type of attraction be someone else's speciality. I know it was loved, and it was a long debate to have to make that decision. 2. That is some great feedback, but also part of the reason we have a centralised system now. While great that the style was so personalised, it should be consistent with the park not the operators. That doesn't mean we don't want to take on suggestions for style for consideration when we do update playlists. 3. I am happy to throw this on the table. We have discussed it before and to be honest we have avoided it in the fear that it locks out first time visitors who should also get the chance to book a session. We trialled it once too and found that some people booked but didn't turn up, and wanted to change dates or refund etc. In the meantime we had been turning guests in-park away, so for the moment we have stuck to allowing Night Rider bookings online and trying to keep most FlowRider sessions for those in park on the day. Thanks for joining the Q&A session. Sorry about the responses. Hey Razza, So hard to get this right and make everyone happy. We get asked about kids rides for under 100cm the most at the moment, then about bringing back some of the past attractions, more for non thrill seekers to do, and from this group we get asked for a big coaster more often than not. It is a balancing act we have to match against current plan, available capital, precinct development and demand. I'll keep your request in mind :-) Regular visitors will tell you that you can already see the change and we most definitely have long term plans that will bring a lot of change and additions to the park. He was giving you his honest opinion and showing the determination. Look at me go... :-)

The only reason to have the ride basically completed this far in advance of the opening is because of the way theming and scenery will be built around it. It's not that the ride is taking a long time to build, it's that it needs to be in place before the rest of the precinct can come together around it.

These two.

Ninja knows. He just side-tracked me by suggesting the Fairy Shop would go.

Nah, he is safe. Just.

Movie-World, Sea-World... Dream-World. We were built from a dream to have an Australian style Disney inspired park. Something to be much loved, by many, for many different reasons. The direction is to remain an Australian Celebration, which is why we have started with the Corroboree project. To celebrate all elements of Australia with some theatrics. Direction and plans, identity discussion can go on for days and are all part of bigger strategies. At the end of the day, all those memories you had of Dreamworld when you were a kid, that become treasured memories are the same ideals driving us today. Hey, I touched on Lego above. Cub Kindy will remain an activation space but the cubs will become part of Tiger Island when their real home reopens.

THE FAIRYTALE SHOP??? ARE YOU MAD?? It will be located near Front Entry. Let the speculation begin. Skylink is not coming back. Yes, we should find time to remove the old towers. It has been replaced with new attractions a few times over in the time it has been gone.

Kenny would not make it through without crying. Did I really miss your query?

I meant lastest photos damn spellcheck

Last pictures from Doomsday site at Movie world

Workers working on the motors again at doomsday
