I believe it is more likely that DW ditches the gold rush theme altogether and rethemes the area to something new. It allows the following to happen: It allows DW to gain new visitors by capitalising on something that is new; ie: a new themed area It puts the park on good terms with the victims' families by removing the area that caused the deaths of their loved ones. It also allows DW to clean up that specific section of the park that has needed an update since Eureka closed in 2005. The Eureka Mountain ride is iconic my ass. It's about time Dreamworld should get rid of the ride, get rid of the Gold Rush theme and move as far away from the accident as possible.

i don't think they will be building any more mine rides. most likely the whole goldrush area will be demolished and BS re-themed.

I went on today and the whole ride was in almost complete darkness. Nothing to see. So in a way (not a very good way) it was still sort of spooky, a BIT! I couldn't see any temp fencing though, which was good.

All my ideas are pretty blue sky, because let's face it after MW's new coaster it'll be a long time before any big new areas get built anywhere at Village. Everything I've got is pretty vague too so don't demand details. At Movie World I'd love to see an area themed to Animal Logic, that's the Australian studio that made Happy Feet, Legend of the Gaurdians, and the Lego Movies. Think 'Pixar Place' at DHS and you've got the general idea. Placement wise I'd like to take a page out of Universal's book and change the layout of the studios to give the park more room. This would involve moving the admin/reception for the studios towards where the actual entrance of the studios are, instead of so close to the park, as well as replacements for sound stages 1 and 2 built further away from the park, allowing the show stages to be used as a big show building for a big new family ride (not thrill ride, not kiddie ride, family ride). I think Lego batman would provide a great transition between the DC area and the Animal Logic area, and having dedicated family areas on opposite ends of the park would make it feel much bigger. Animal Logic aren't a household name yet, but a couple of their movies are already classics, distrubuted by Village and WB. It makes so much sense, if they keep going the way they're going I think a themed land dedicated to their movies could be great. At Sea World obviously I've detailed in the past what I'd like to see. After that I'd like to see the area around Jet Rescue be themed to an 18th century port, the kind where tall ships are going off on adventures to discover the world and there are all these fanciful stories of sea monsters and the like. The coaster I've detailed previously would fit into that theme, and given you'd be looking 10/15 years in the future you'd be looking at Jet Rescue's land with the view to a ride that takes you on an adventure with one of the early explorers. At Dreamworld I've long advocated for a dark themed land, taking over Blue Lagoon, something akin to Alton Tower's forbiddian valley. After this year I don't think there's an appetite for that quite some time to come. What I would like to see is a back to basics Gold Rush country, a mine train and a chute the shoots. Rather than being themed to an abounded historical site like Gold Rush is now, I'd like to see it look like it's a mine that's still in use; like you've traveled back in time. One of the things Dreamworld copped flack over lately was that the area Thunder River was in looked run down. We know that was the theme, but I don't think Dreamworld should do that theme anymore. Modern mine, maybe give it a bit of a steampunk look and I think you could end up with something. Again, Blue Sky, very vague, but you can kind of see how I'd be shaping the parks.

The point he is making is that if you do a spit spur, then you permanently lock in a situation where the best available frequency to each branch is every 6 mins (a tram every 6 mins from the spit, plus a tram every 6 mins from helensvale = a tram every 3 mins south of the junction to the southern end of the line. (A tram every 3 mins being the physical limit of the system) The issue though is that in say a decades time, only having a tram available every 6 mins on the Helensvale branch would be insufficient to deal with passenger loads. See here for an good explanation of the dynamics of serving a rail line that branches: http://humantransit.org/2011/02/basics-branching-or-how-transit-is-like-a-river.html

@Redboost As cool as that would be on paper, I would really despise WBMW if they did that. I'm a massive DC fan, but even I agree that Movie World should be Movie World, not DC World. I personally feel that the Western area needs to be expanded upon - maybe another ride or two - and there needs to be an emphasis on areas of the parks that AREN'T based on DC heroes and villains. Especially if the new hypercoaster is DC-themed, I feel that they may have overbalanced the park slightly, leaving only the kids' area, SDSC, and WWF as the major attractions NOT themed around DC. There's now plenty of rides and great theming for the DC fans, I think it's time for something different. On that note, I'd love to see WBMW expand into some of their so far untouched properties - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sherlock Holmes, The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Mad Max... There's plenty to choose from, let's balance out the park a little. I love the idea of the beach boardwalk in SW, and I'd like the motorsports attractions brought together at DW, perhaps to make way for a new Australiana area, or even an expansion of the Rivertown theme that has been long lost to MDMC. When thinking of themed lands, I also think back to my days playing RCT3 - a sci-fi area, a spooky area, a dinosaur area, an Atlantis-themed area... they've all been untouched and could be pretty cool in the right park...

This my friends is a clear example of the failure of our education system..

they just put that there to keep andrewh from taking photos of himself next to the back door.
