Honestly, I noticed the roof way more on LTRR than Overboard. People seem to forget that Australia has been home to many great, world class dark rides over the years (Gremlins, LTRR, Bermuda, Lassiter's). We’re clearly capable of producing and supporting quality attractions like these, it’s just that current park management aren’t interested in doing so which is a shame. As it currently stands, Overboard is by far the best and most immersive dark ride in the country, visible roof or not.

For the love of god please don’t let a single one of those hideous colours see the light of day (or night!). The ride will look elegant and spectacular with lighting sequences of all warm white colour mimicking the incandescent festoon globes of old. Hopefully they resist the temptation to put it in Full Kebab Shop mode and run awful colours on it (the above video is just testing so judgement reserved until it is finished).

We already have one park filled with coasters. Can we not do a good dark ride in Australia?

Great post - I think after 2024 it's time for DW to add a water ride. I think Dreamworld themselves said they have a few surprises in store in terms of attractions over the coming years. I don't take that as rides as such, but maybe things like a giant adventure playground (similar to how they have added a splash pad) would really expand the park out further too.

Vintage Cars was there in 2006, no? Before Gingy's, it was Spongebob Flypants, in roughly the position Seabed Splash is now, IIRC. Not sure which year it arrived though? A well put together list - even if not entirely accurate. I think although the attraction count might not differ that much, the quality of each may be the difference. This is the same story for Movie World however - the loss of attractions like gremlins (although scooby is a fair replacement), studio tour, special effects show, maverick \ stunt show, LTRR, PASS... while the numbers don't make things look bad - the actual experience from then to now is vastly different, and arguably not for the better (at either park).
