Thanks for the update @Luke. I visited about a week ago and notiice those Flinstone looking awnings have gone up since. For a kid's splash zone I think it will be pretty impressive. We always knew it wasn't going to be anything more than something minor and besides, SW is finally going to get that Fountain everyone's been banging on about🤣

Visited DreamWorld today. And I got some shots of the Mine Ride. Not sure if much has changed over the weekend.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster in many years. Went to Dreamworld yesterday for the first time in two years... it would have been quicker to write a list of the rides and shows actually open (seriously). Quite an eerie no-people-around feeling, which to be honest I didn't mind. Thank fully it was a day for the little kids and every ride they went on was "next on / no queue" and some you could just stay on. Feel sorry for the place. They're at a cross-roads... they need some serious investment from people who get themeparks, or from I saw, the future looks bleak.

One factor to take into account is that they aren't giving away the gate anymore. Every passholder from the cheapest to the most expensive used to have Fright Nights included - there were a lot of 'free' entries making up those sellout nights. These days only the higher tier passes have it included, and for everyone else it's chargeable, with passholders having a reduced price ticket. I wouldn't write off this year as a failure for the park - they've obviously managed to reduce patronage, but in the same turn have likely increased revenue - either from 'gate' tickets, or charging more for the passes that have it included. This is the direction we've all been screaming for them to take, so its nice to see that it has worked. Imagine the queues if all the VIPs still had free entry...

Visited Seaworld on Friday morning (27/10). Took a trip on the monorail to get some construction pictures of Cataway Reef. Enjoy!

Saw these all over the interior of a train I was travelling on this morning!

^Looks like the spectacular marketing for DC Rivals is working

You should probably get your vision checked. Given the size of the passenger's head beside the sign - its fairly sizeable text that would be fine to read when standing \ sitting within proximity... notwithstanding the picture being taken by a potato, and horribly backlit. Obviously they've worked with what the body of the train allows, and gone as wide as they can between the windows. It's different (at least to me) and after reading the banner headlines across the roof, i'd be intrigued enough to walk along and read the smaller signage to find out more - provided it wasn't during peak hour crush.

Today must have been the worst day for anyone going to Dreamworld.

All I can say at this point is: WTF????

Here is a wide range of updates for all those who keep asking (Just focusing on new elements of parks) AW - Goliath (Augst 13) Funfields (October 15) Gumbuya World (October 10) DW - Havent focused on anything specifically because no visible changes (September 16) MW - DC Rivals (August 28) Top Golf (August 28) SW - Castaway Reef (August 28)

Somewhat sure Nearmap is like Google Earth in that you can backtrack through captures.

The discussion has specifically been about the Intamin Giant Drop version. It has nothing to do with the Inferno's ride model. It would be like me saying 'I saw Tweety's cages stop halfway through the ride cycle....' Completely irrelephant.
