Actually if people are riding it that work for Dreamworld it suggests the ride is fine and the problem is getting it registered with the government for the public to ride.

Brisbane yes, Sydney no. Your more familiar with Sydney that's why it's easier for you. Melbournes roads are mostly straight lines with teams going down them. Sydney isn't. Most people agree Melbourne is easier but you can have your opinion it's all good man 👍

Rides missing their opening date (or their return from maintenance date being pushed back) just seems to be par for the Australian course...

It's ok. It'll open in the coming weeks.

It may also well be that Dreamworld's spec for the build was defective, and the contractors delivered exactly what was spec'd.

This link should help explain it.

Wow. It really makes you wonder what did they do with all that money they got to upgrade that ride I know some of that went to actually upgrading it but did some of it went to pay off one of them right employees drugs debts as well? I agree with you there and I hope there’s better stuff.com. But after spending $1 million you would expect the final product to look a little better even if they are working on it. Yes it is and it’s more accurate to the movie with love or hate the movie that’s a improvement. And one of the only good things in that ride so far is scrappy just like the movie ironically, but there are other good things about it to, But I’m just saying that compare to the original ride this is a major downgrade to a lot of people. Basically Warner Bros. just did what Disney did with the tiki room we were expecting something better but now we got the tiki room under new management basically for the Scooby Doo ride. A major downgrade from the original that only has one or two good things going for it. But still makes people missed the original more

That title is a dubious one at best. How some of the world's most amazing cities were beaten by Hipsters who like to deconstruct their toast is beyond me.

Hmm. I do not live in either Melbourne or Sydney but have spent plenty of time in both, for work and leisure. I have driven extensively in both and traveled on public transport in both. In my mind, Melbourne is far easier to navigate than Sydney, in both pubic transport and for driving. You are right in that all cities are planned. Cities expand and out grow their initial planning and sometimes, due to geographical features or other considerations, the planning that follows is not always integrated with what has come before. Sydney was a much more organic city than Melbourne, growing out of the site of the first colony on the Australian mainland. By necessity, it was bounded by the harbour which is so integral to its character and lifeblood. Very hard to grid or plan around such a feature as this. Melbourne was much more planned but was also easier to plan and "grid", given the nature of its site. This is why Melbourne feels so much more programmed than Sydney in its layout. I love elements of both cities, but Melbourne for mine takes the title. There is a reason that Melbourne was name the most liveable city for 7 years in a row, from 2011 until 2017. Vienna has taken the mantle for 2018 with Melbourne 2nd. Sydney, to be fair was not that far behind, in 5th position, with Adelaide rounding out the top 10.

That is even more amazing than Bikash's 'The Ferry will be quicker than driving'. Seriously the amount of people on trip advisor complaining about too many rides and not enough places to sit is unreal, good on them 😂 Wipeout closing forever is an interesting one, it could both indicate trying to turn the place around or not caring about the place. DW need to let a lot of these old rides go, so even if Ardent are trying to fix the park, Wipeout closes. No point throwing money into keeping it going for 6months, may as well get the pain out of the way. Same thing will happen soon with Cyclone, Tot, and Buzzsaw. Equal to that though, they have nothing in the pipeline. That's not a good sign.

Oh just in time on February 36th!

I honestly think it has a lot of life left in it, it just needs the TLC it deserves. Shame LPS aren't giving the Spider any love whatsoever, its a crime to see a Break Dance in that kind of condition, because if anyone here has ridden one in Europe, you'll realise why they really are the most successful machine in Europe, the atmosphere is something i've never EVER experienced on a travelling ride, especially not in Australia.

Been to Melbourne plenty of times, and spent the first 21 years of my life in Sydney. Sydney & Brisbane are infinitely easier to navigate. If Melbourne was planned to be that way then it must have been designed by the same guys now calling the shots at Dreamworld...

RMC COMING TO SEAWORLD CONFIRMED WITH BIKASH IN RECENT INTERVIEW

So they talk the best part of a year to refurbish this ride and still couldn't get the Audio to work? Amazing.

The Wipeout will be permanently removed before the end of this year and Dreamworld have already planned to fill in the area, that doesn’t include a ride.
