Haunted Mansions at Disney Parks. Now THAT is a Pre-show that's entertaining. Anyway back on topic. With a tightening up of Operations and a few little amendments here and there, I reckon what DW have with SV can compliment the ride. They really just need to work on informing the GP better about the loading process with what they have, which in turn should speed up load time Regardless, it is so fantastic to finally have a flying Theatre in Australia. The experience will easily become a favourite among GC Theme Parks. Oh and those 'bumpy' motion effects are most definitely intentional! - you can tell because it is at the moments interrupted by likes of going through a Watrtfall and the Fireworks. The motion is for the most part smoothe and executes the sensation of 'swooping' downward beautifully - imo just as well as Soarin does! Those moments are truly thrilling! Seats are definitely smaller than Disney, but can still accommodate most larger guests. The "mist" fx are perhaps not so convincing as they spurt out with a bit of a PSSST sound effect and some of the smells are a bit off (ie grapes smell like lolly grapes).. but what do real Grapes smell like anyway? As a sound buff, I think the Audio is BRILLIANT and anyone who appreciates that kind of thing should really enjoy it. Also the Music Score is OUTSTANDING and frankly Disney quality. The soundtrack is emotional and powerful. Sure the image quality could be sharper - which is still possible to achieve with upgrades as years roll by. When the ride finishes, People even clap their hands - something I haven't seen in an Aussie Theme Park in years. Sorry MW and SW but with SV I truly believe DW now have the best Show/family attraction, something for them to be very proud of.

Yeah new coaster at the royal show first time to debut in Australia a new spinning coaster from Malaysia.

Thank you for the constant updates sir All of the slides are looking fantastic and greater than ever Hydrocoaster and RIP are looking the most fresh and loving their colour scheme I look forward to BRO, Temple and Rippers repaint

I’m looking forward to checking out ‘My Movie 74’ on YouTube It better be worth the rental price I paid for

This update was too short for it's own thread.

Good to see a positive reception to the Vortex.

and get a decent flume ride too...for a WATER focused park....bring back Vikings Revenge and dolphin strollers....and...and well...just bring 'em back! 😎

So I don’t work for VTP so not sure what their lineup of shows has to do with audio on a ride at dreamworld. But thanks for your juvenile attempt of trying to call someone out on a theme park forum thinking they know something personally about them that you actually don’t. But you didn’t say the sound was above it’s weight and could be better you said “brilliant” “amazing” and “Disney quality” You affirmed those comments by prefacing the by saying you are a self proclaimed expert on the mater. Is the sound adequate? Maybe. But that’s far from what you described.

@jaginator18 not possible because the rest of the building is open, only the dodgems side is fenced off

Thinking may have been royal show sorry

Maze locations have been revealed on FN website IT - Dodgems Zombieland & Doll Haus - Jigsaw and Halloween Shed House of Kain and Leatherface - FDTD Shed Not sure how to feel about them doing two mazes in the same shed again, but I sincerely hope either Kain or Leatherface are not being scaled back this year as it is the first time they have done two mazes in that shed

I agree. With a relevant and entertaining pre show, and improved staff training so they understand the importance of the script (I've heard them miss some vital parts), it really is a world class ride. Loading can be easily improved by simply showing how to fasten the seat belts in the safety video.

Does anyone know the official story why the Viking's Revenge Flume Ride closed? I assume it somehow relates to the TRR incident and the modifications made to the ride during Storms construction. Insurance costs potentially? Also, is there a possibility this ride could be refurbished by someone like Intamin and resurrected? Or do you think it will be demolished? Sorry for asking a question that I'm sure has been asked many times on here, I just can't find the answer in my searches. Cheers.

The thing with the pre show, is if they are loading properly and running the attraction to its full capacity, i’d Prefer to sit through the pre show than to be standing outside in the bullpen with nothing to do. Could it be better? Absolutely it could be, but I think DW need to be given a patt on the back for attempting to do a fully inclusive experience with a pre show experience, as let’s face it, none of the parks have included a pre show on any of their new attractions in recent years.

The Bro may have a double meaning, but I’m pretty sure it’s Bro because it refers to the Blue Ringed Octopus

You're right. Their competitor has a product that is really popular. They shouldn't offer that, and just let everyone spend their money with the competition...

I would've taken a GS over Doomsday Destroyer across the road.

Push?
