Time for the Vekoma and MACK Rides interviews Both companies enjoy a steady momentum, and it's great to hear from senior professionals some explanations!

I agree and I believe history, sometime in the future will show that as something of a nasty pimple on the surface of commercial common sense. Like CEO's that earn 20 times more than the next level below? No one person can make that much difference, ever, except Branson perhaps.

I would probably agree. Most of what you raise is about scale, however. Corporate shareholder-driven leisure business is a flawed model in my view when it comes to high-end experiential businesses and most struggle over a long time frame. ouch.

Tree is now complete and more decorations have appeared throughout

I think it's time I got a new boat.

The Old Waterpark or the Old Old Waterpark? It used to be part of the park, and free. Then someone had the brainy idea to close it to theme park patrons and make it part of the resort. I expect that this will be included in admission - primarily because there won't be the capacity issues we saw with the mammoth, and because the park is so seriously lacking in things to do that they need to take the pressure of somewhere. If this is an upcharge, VRTP need to just neck themselves.

About 3 times a day.

We're talking Dreamworld though, right? The villains unleashed precinct had some very special people working on it. WBMW has been lifting the standard, i think, predominantly because of these sorts of people being involved. Dreamworld doesn't have that... And regardless, a clone still reduces costs.

I understand the feeling, but a clone tends to reduce costs. A clone of a universal attraction, similar to what we saw with Dreamworks - means that there are certain theme standards for licensing. High standards tend to breed more high standards - so I only see this as a positive.

This may be your opinion, but you can't argue with the fact that the Jurassic series is a popular one. Universal continues to have successes with this franchise in it's theme parks, and with the World trilogy still to release two films, it has stamina. I honestly don't see it coming to Dreamworld, but the franchise is a good one, regardless of your personal opinion of it.

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

Seems like the new kids precinct will be themed to Trolls. As stated in the parkz article - "Their first new addition in this space is an area under construction in the far corner of Dreamworld's Ocean Parade area. "I can tell you it will be a precinct aimed at little kids. It'll be a really cool activation of one of their brands. "The attraction is yet another that relies on licensed brands, which Mr Davidson believes is a key strategy for Dreamworld. "Ultimately licensing and simulation I think is a really good place for us to be in the short term."

Food for thought, If the move away from thrills rides is indeed due to the negative stigma they may bring due to the accident, let’s remember TRR was a family ride..

All thgood shading has now been installed, but there are still quite a number of large areas of path which are exposed directly to the sun
