Maybe the topic should be renamed: "Village Roadshow has gone to Shit".. ?

It was once an attraction but over time DW has removed all attractions elements. Like the Bush rangers which once held the train up to the waterfall.

Sea World's monorail takes you over the quarantine pools on the eastern side of the main entrance (behind the ski boat docks) where you can see animals in rehabilitation. It's a stretch, but honestly - it's not efficient enough (it's neither fast, nor frequent) to be considered transportation. I've seen many people trek up the ramps to wait for the monorail only to trek it back down and walk back to the front gate because of how long between trips it is. I would argue that 90% of passengers riding do so for a place to sit down, and ride around for a few minutes in their day to get away from the crowd, and take the kids up high for the novelty of riding a monorail, whilst travelling at near walking pace around the park. Going off Brads definition of seeing \ experiencing things you wouldn't if you'd walked - the tour of the train sheds, big brother backlot, blue lagoon sneak peak, rocky hollow lagoon, the aboriginal rock art behind billabong, the different perspective of the birdlife in the wildlife experience, the TOT drive sheds... there are still things you get to see on the train that you otherwise wouldn't. Likewise, the fact that it only does a circuit once every half hour and then sits at main street for 10-15 minutes, its not really ideal for a 'I don't feel like walking, let's hop the train'. it is not the most efficient method of getting to another part of the park - especially since it has such a roundabout circuit surrounding blue lagoon to get up the grade. I'll say again - it can be both transport, and a ride, but its a stretch to consider almost any closed circuit attraction within a theme park as 'purely transport' unless it got you into or out of the park... I'm not arguing that these things aren't transport, just that they are rides \ attractions

Sorry - I don't have anything to share that would help you, but my, that prop is rather phallic, don't you think?

Check your dates, because depending on when in Sep/Nov you may still be able to hit the Halloween events as the big ones start end of sep and go a few extra days into Nov. You never know 🤞

@-nick.white.1543 I know it’s not my question to answer but I am gonna anyway. The DW Express takes you through all the ancient / not operating attractions and so it’s a “History Lesson” 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Lost your marbles. Lost your marbles. Lost your marbles. Lost your marbles. Lost your marbles. Any more outburst like this and I'm seriously considering setting up a go fund me page for locating your marbles.

I am guessing that the new theme will incorporate the spirits being snatched and put into scrappy do like in the movie. That is where projections, holograms and other trickery could be used. It would need a big druid circle section thing, so disco room may change. I do hope they get Rowan Atkinson's voice behind it.

It's 100% a form of transport. Theme parks like to install them because they know it brings out the weirdoes who think they are on a ride. I don't believe it was mud stains.

I mean really, if they had any interest in not being shit, the building IS in Ocean Parade. They should be looking to do something like Voyage to the Iron Reef at Knott's. Not a cheap out version, literally that exact same ride. Get some family appeal in there, have a dark ride offering, and ease back into adding rides without the impression they might be 'scary' in any way.

It's really great that you took the time to waste a ride manufactures time to get info that was already obvious. Your point is the stupid one. Given you can get an original spec Arrow train made right now from the original manufacturer (even if it's changed hands 3 times!) the fact a ride model is no longer produced has NOTHING to do with original manufacturer support and parts. Movie World just had White Water West (who bought Hopkins) work with them on changes to Wild West Falls, another ride where even the manufacturer doesn't exist any more. As for the X Car stuff only being listed as Specials on their website. Any manufacturer will happily make you something that no longer produce for the right price! Your efforts to shoot down people on this forum and make them look dumb is actually only serving to expose you as the ignorant one 'my stupid friend'.

My first thought here was 'don't be ridiculous, that'd have dreamworks characters in the middle of ocean parade, worlds away from their themed land... then I remembered it was dreamworld.

One of these buttons brings everyone to a safe stop to enjoy the rest of their day... the other creates Orphans... YOUR GUESS WHICH ONE! Welcome!!

I love how they made that FB post like guests should be excited... its really become the point of where the place is just funny how awful they are at EVERYTHING. Oh and why be dark on Dreamworld? I dunno, maybe because they LITERALLY kill people through their incompetence.

Hello my very dumb stupid friend, 1. i have emailed Maurer Rides and the out come is they do not produce any of the rides that I have listed as per the email below! Due to the great expense they no longer produce the x-train / skyloop coasters due to cost. So now I am calling Bullshit on you. 2. Dreamworld probaly didn’t know they were gonna stop producing the product so it’s kinda just loads more bad luck for them at the moment.
