What is so amusing about all this; For years and years the GP have been begging DW to bring back the Mine ride based on a notion of how good it was. Management today seem almost as misguided as the legions of fans in bringing this thing back. The GP (especially in Australia) are hardly experts in theme parks - even DW themselves can run a better Park! Bringing back the Mine Ride using the existing system is a complete waste of money and if it will take another year to open it is bound to disappoint those who wanted it back so badly. The cost involved in this project would include structural reinforcements, track detailing work, new cars, PLC, safety, braking and all other OCC systems BEFORE they begin to inclose and God forbid, attempt to theme it.. All this would have to be comparable to buying a replacement outright so why the fuck are they making this so hard and really what are they actually going to save?? All this just shows what complete and utter tight arses Ardent really are.

If it’s part of a realignment and focus on their brand, then who cares?? 2 theme parks - 1 gate - 1 social media account not a terribly hard concept to wrap your head around

This is actually a terrible idea from a marketing standpoint as it means now they will not be able to market the annual pass or tickets as including two theme parks which means it no longer appeals to the under informed general consumers sense of value for money

I hope no kid tries to sneak a widdle through the fence.

I’ve heard it will be Paw Patrol

I think theres also the question of "How do you theme a waterpark?" And i think "Like Dubai" is a good way to answer that.

Think about the relocation package though. Plus i would love to see another WB park based around the other titles in their arsonel. As a massive fan of the studio itself, i feel ours to be a tad lacking in the movie department.

I think Australians tend to not care about theming because we never get any of it anyway. I'd say we have 6 well themed rides and 4 of them are in the same park when it comes to the GC. If we had more cohesive and immersive theming, then maybe people would care more.

Looks like it's being demolished now https://www.facebook.com/NewsTalk6PR/posts/1894806233868216

The fountain does not mean “you cant share your thoughts”. But either way that was a mistake and I am deeply sorry to cause any inconvenience. I will pass on your question to my management team for review. Kind regards Jake from Themeparkaddict.

When it comes to water parks, I dont think theming throughout is essential, but definitely a perk to have for individual rides. But when you look at some of the parks in the US, in particular, Volcano Bay; that water park looks incredible and the theme it has seems to really add to the overall experience and feel of the park. For me, WnW, despite not having a theme, the built up vegetation of the park really adds to it and makes it feel like a nice and relaxing place.

I personally think Jurassic world was one of the best movies I have ever watched.

They have a new website. But you have to go to the photo booth and purchase a $19 single-use pass to access it.

If you think Jurassic World was a bad movie then you need to see more movies. I thought it was quite decent.

So the people who filmed AW by drone have uploaded a video of them with shots at both AW & the Maze. Also found a HD POV video of Goliath.

If I have learnt anything for major companies when it comes to refurbishments doing things the most logical and sane way is not the way to go. Backwards and most confusing/stupid is how it is done. Oh and cheap, can't forget doing things as cheaply as possible.

Or they already spent too much on a certain new Hyper? I share everyone's disappointment on this too but I guess it is what it is. If we now have to wait another year I wouldn't go hedging bets on a Scooby-Doo return. What better way to market a brand new ride opening in 2018?

"Strange things have been happening in the park, A Volcano has suddenly appeared"

Yay more closed things at Sea World

Soarin is NOTHING like a hokey ass 7D cinema regardless of scale and the seats actually move less. In true Disney style they looked at the footage, seating position, movement, smells, temperature and musical score as one cohesive experience and created a truely unique and breathtaking attraction. There is zero chance Dreamworld will get ANYTHING like Soarin.

Nothing to see here!

I see rides as an added bonus on night events, if you have time, then great, if not, all good. Make sure you experience everything the special night has to offer that you can’t do on a regular trading day. Obviously DCR is one to tick off in the dark if you didn’t get a chance at Fright Nights, otherwise you’ll be waiting until next October for another chance

No doubt folks here will appreciate a more in-depth look so i've attached a few shots. Giving the kids a chance to get up so close to the tigers is a big win, which will no doubt inspire more of the next generation to give more of a damn about conservation. If you want to see the same photos but from slightly different angles, you can checkout the rest over here.

Just becouse a movie grossed well does not make it a good movie all it means is alot people whent too see the rubbish Jurassic world 2 will only be even worse

sadly starting to look like this could be a DC retheme witch im hopeing does not happen

the problem is if DW did bulldoze the whole thing they would then replace it with nothing in true ardent style i would be happy there is a chance of a new dark ride been made out of the mine ride site

why would we wont a area based on one of the worst movies ever made there is only one word to explain JURASSIC WORLD = CRAP

Ok I get it now

That would be amazing, although sadly highly unlikely!
