Since we're on the topic of Sea World, I actually got engaged there on Saturday! I did it as part of the snorkeling experience and had a bunch of the staff helping me out. They were super helpful and organised most of the logistics for me (getting a sign in the water, having the ring delivered in the pool, etc). Here's a sneaky picture of when everything was going down and she caught on to what was happening. I'm happy to chuck the full story and my planning up on here if anyone is interested.

How many DW projects are currently on the go? 5 How many projects did DW have ready for Christmas holidays? 0 Can somebody show me where in the history of DW a new ride or attraction has opened in Jan/Feb period. Something stinks at DW at the moment and it’s not the Koala droppings.

@CaptainLazerGuns I'm glad my partner doesn't read this site. You make me look bad.

Just FYI the target market is the parents of really little kids, not the kids themselves.

I'm a Dreamworld fan, but didn't really disagree with anything, it is what it is. Wipeout - yes it's working, but still nothing particularly positive to say about it. Ferris Wheel - admittedly lame, not really anything else you can say about it. Logride - still waiting, questionable looking logs - all true. But, there are still tigers!

Negative, negative, negative.... hey look over there, tigers!

That's awesome man! Congrats. Good on you.

I'll just leave this here.... Thoughts?

While I did leave it open I guess with my background of photography and whatnot people would've assumed the context was the imagery itself. In saying that, they're not the only options, and putting a weird cage roof thing is not the only option either.

Ferris wheel was a big waste of money. Small target market so very little return on advertisement. The target market won't be seeing Dreamworld's advertising for that ride. The target market is too young to understand that the ride is new. The target market will quickly forget about the ride experience. The target market is under parental authority.

Flynn wasn't accusing you of having someone else's opinion but was wanting to know why that's your opinion

Should be renamed “Play School Wheel Discussion”

There have been a whole bunch of random street entertainers over the school holidays. The firemen were good for the fact they were spraying water and cool air on hot days. They were not the weirdest by far...

I think the biggest difference is Australian vs American Construction Law. Australia probably has some policies that say that you clearly need to state it's construction, etc.

Look I think the Aqua show is disappointing however it's a first try. I remember the first try at White Christmas. Now if they can expand on that proof of concept and creating something truely unique and spectacular next year it will no doubt be very impressive. You have to start somewhere. The food though they need to nail. The first 3 years it was 💯 amazing! You could not fault it. I would buy a ticket just for the opportunity to buy food. Last year was utterly shit (only words I have) and whilst better doesn't sound like they just went ''make it the same as Movie World." This is no place for ego and 'let them have a try at their own thing.' Simply get the MW chefs responsible for the amazing original implementation to bring that to Sea World. The company stopped that insane Tim Fisher crap of splitting the properties up a while back now so bring that amazing food back to the table literally.

I didn’t want this thread to turn into another case of “who’s top 10 is better”, because we’ve had plenty of those over the years... but since it seems I must explain: this is nothing more than a personal opinion, I don’t expect people to agree with my list. The three Disney coasters I’ve mentioned are great, fun rides, but none of them match the sheer thrills and intensity ToT provides (if you want to argue that then go do it somewhere else). I wouldn’t call RnRC or Crush’s Coaster a Disney masterpiece - Pirates, Star Tours, Disney’s ToT, maybe even HSM yes - but RnRC isn’t much more than an indoor roller coaster with lots of lights, and Crush’s second half isn’t much better than Scooby theming-wise. I doubt someone like @pushbutton would have a similar top 5 to me, but I still respect his personal opinion - some people prefer big, thrilling coasters while others prefer less intense ones that provide more of an “experience”. Happy new year.

Had the best year ever for Roller Coaster riding and Credits!! These were probably my favourite coaster experiences- but hard to choose!! When you go on a trip with 32 coasters to ride its a VERY good year!! 1) Mako ( Seaworld Orlando) So far the best coaster I have ridden period. Its an airtime monster. Brilliant and when I was there a walk on!! 2) Montu ( Busch Gardens Tampa) Best invert that I have experienced. Forceful and yet smooth- loved re-riding this coaster 3) Expedition Everest ( Disney's Animal Kingdom) The best that Disney has to offer. Brilliant theming and a great coaster from none other than Vekoma!! 4) Rock "N Roller Coaster ( Disney's Hollywood Studios) Excellent indoor launched coaster had quite a few surprises! 5) Space Mountain ( Walt Disney World) Great ride despite its age- really enjoyed this one and the rare behind seating of the trains 6) Cheetah Hunt ( Busch Gardens Tampa) Best family /thrill coaster we rode. Absolute joy to ride 7) Shiekra ( Busch Gardens Tampa) My first dive coaster and what a brilliant experience!!! 8) Manta ( Seaworld Orlando) First flying coaster and what a beauty!!! B& M goodness and delivers great forces! 9) Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ( Universal Studios Orlando) The themeing on this is incredible and is what gets it on my list!! 10) Cobra's Curse ( Busch Gardens Tampa) Packed a punch well above its weight, very enjoyable family thrill coaster had a number of surprises!! Brilliant!!

Who hurt you as a child?

It is what it is. Do you want to ride or do you want it to be closed and bulldozed? because those are your only options.

Why bump an old topic?

In what world is Vintage Cars a coaster? And do numbers 8 and 9 not exist in this strange world?

No offence @Santa07 but your top 10 sucks balls. How on earth can you call yourself a Theme Park Enthusiast and put DW's ToT significantly in front of 3 multi-gazillion dollar Disney masterpieces? Sorry Chap but what you are doing is comparing Apple's with Donuts. This is precisely why I hate top 10's. Happy New Year btw 5. ToT (DW)6. Colorado Adventure (Phanta)7. Hyperspace Mountain (DLP)8. Rock n Roller Coaster (Walt Disney Studios)9. Crush's Coaster (Walt Disney Studios)10. Arkham Asylum (MW) Seriously WTF Parkz..
