Kids still know WoO, it’s got much more staying power than Gremlins does. And, though it isn’t a massive ‘trend’ right now, I’d be rather surprised if a modern tie-in movie releasing more-or-less alongside the themed land, especially one that’s starring Ariana Grande, doesn’t change that.

Did you read any of the previous replies that have gone into great detail over the slab size and shape, and their previous master planned attractions, and the location based on that master plan? Or did you just look at this one previous reply and chip in your 2 cents for the sake of making a reply?

What about Nickelodeon Land and Castaway Bay?

I doubt kids are walking around pointing out the roofs. It's a kids area and still the best themed one in Australia. Remember this isn't Disney and the key demographic they are targeting is kids.

Two of the three rides I mentioned have already been replaced (indirectly but that’s beside the point) Thunderbolt - gold coaster (if punters on Facebook think that despite them running next to each other for a couple of years then that is what goes) Tower - Taipan Wipeout - chairs, yeah you get the point on that one. Obviously you’d avoid thunder river (or anything in gold rush country for that matter) with a 10 foot pole but that goes without saying. It’s a good opportunity to make some extra cash though you’re not spending much to make shirts. Though the case is strong especially when the current batch of investments are complete and there’s not so much of a gap in the lineup anymore. If dreamworld is happy to change their logo back to the 80s one then I think they’d be happy to make some thunderbolt shirts.

With such a massive hole in their lineup with the losses of so many of their big attractions, perhaps retro throwbacks to old rides in Dreamworld might not be the image you want in the public's mind? Of course, then you have the big issue - obviously you have to NOT produce thunder river merchandise, but then it's absence leaves a hole in the product lineup... what to do.....?

I think that style of ride would be great, similar system and well themed. But I don’t know if the gremlins theme has much relevance anymore.

Dreamworld has done immense progress in 1 year and the park is looking great and things are moving quickly. VRTP cannot relate.

March 2018: Fourteen years post-operation at Wonderland, the trains found their final home at Artisans Park in Bathurst. Here, they are undergoing restoration and will be displayed permanently. Artisans Park is also constructing a station and a section of track to enable the trains to be rolled out for photo opportunities. - From the Wonderland History FB page

Was working on doing that a bit ago, but I’m on mobile so it’s more scuffed than that which is above.
