DC World - Superheroes on the Gold Coast.

RE: Re-use the Rapids Ride Cave for a relocated Vintage Cars No. Just no. That is a horrible idea. Re using any infrastructure from the Rapids ride is in poor taste, and would serve as a constant reminder about what happened. Also people are suggesting keeping the Gold Rush theme and moving the Vintage cars to the area; the last Goldrush was over way before Model T Fords came along. The only advantage of a rethemed area with Vintage cars is that it would be very cheap; it's just the cost of demolishing what's already there (which they have indicated they're planning to anyway) and pouring a new roadway. The cheapness is literally the only thing the idea has going for it.

I'd like to see the whole area completely cleared (including Buzz saw, which could be relocated elsewhere in the park where there's space for it) and a completely new themed area created. The theme: Doctor Who (obviously needs applicable licensing from the BBC, but I don't know of anywhere else in Australia Dreamworld would be competing with on that, and Dreanworld already has the BBC tie-in with ABC kids world, so should be possible). There would be several awesome rides, and various other experiences. One or more of them could be accessed via a Tardis, and after walking and / or riding through various rooms you would exit through the Tardis but in a completely different place, out of sight of the one you entered through (giving the illusion the Tardis moved). Upon entering you would go downstairs, and a small part of the attraction would be underground.You could then (if necessary) go back upstairs for the main, central part of the attraction, and then downstairs into another underground section for the last part. In this way, both Tardis would appear not to be attached to anything, hence giving the illusion of "bigger on the inside". This would be something like the Doctor Who experience I've been to in London, and also (much earlier) in Blackpool, England. There are many possibilities for ride, cinematic, educational, live entertainment, and walk-through components both within the Tardis and elsewhere in the new themed Dr Who section of Dreamworld. Of course there would also be a shop selling Dr Who merchandise, some of which would not be available elsewhere in Australia. There could even be a Dr Who themed restaurant maybe (although apart from Fish Fingers and Custard I'm not sure what it could sell)!!! On second thoughts, maybe we'll skip the Fish Fingers and Custard, or at least serve them separately as 2 different menu items, both accompanied by something else!

Tourism International tourists come here to see Australia, theme it to that and they're happy.

I'm hoping it's nothing to do with DC comics and they actually theme it around a Warner brothers movie. Kinda getting repetitive with all the DC themed rides in the park now

There you go @AlexB

Much better theming on the station now.

Damn it, you got me... no I haven't played RE7. Though I have played every iteration prior. i have seen a gameplay trailer and there looked like standard zombies to me... the thing with a property like RE is that if you fork out the $$ for the rights, you would need to draw from the entire series to do justice to it. You also would need to use 'generic' zombies/victims to simplify the costume/makeup requirements, just as they have in every other licensed property used before

Wow.. are we the top google search for RE7 forum? 2 new members join today and both of them have a first post about Resident Evil and disagreeing with me 'generaling' the zombie/dead thing genre..
