I disagree. I'd rather a park honour it's history than turn it into storage sheds.

It's a detail that people will either notice or they won't. I don't think anyone is going to look at the old claw and be disgusted by it, nor have they sacrificed any quality in King Claw's presentation just to shoe-horn in the reference. It's literally hurting no one. At the end of the day, in this case it was probably so easy for them to add a little monument to the old Claw that they had no reason not to. The theming was already there, and it fits fairly well tangentially into the new theme. It would have been just a matter of keeping it instead of turning it into landfill. Really, I see no reason to complain. If nods, Easter eggs and references are not your thing, they're not your thing, but they aren't hurting anyone by being there. I'll come back and agree with you when they come up with some convoluted excuse to force in references where they don't fit or ruin immersion, but for now, they're doing it subtly enough, so why not?

Probably best not to honour all of DW's history.

Good thing i'm not old and never said 'museum' then hey? I said 'honour their history' - and little nods in new constructions are the perfect way to do it - like how Disney incorporates clever nods to replaced attractions - eg: skyway gondola in Matterhorn, Eeyore (parking sign) inside Indiana Jones to name just two. But you'll also note I said that i'd rather than than turn it into storage sheds. So if given the choice - i'm going with nods than bulldozing guest accessible areas to store back of house shit.

I think he just likes to complain. He's the Robb Alvey of Parkz.

when are you not complaining about something chile… it’s mile better than what’s down the road so why are you nit picking.

Really loved the detail of the monsters tentacles wrapping around the wrapping, simple but really effective and fun. Seeing the level of theming dreamworld has given everything these past few years has me hopeful for the level of theming and storytelling they could give to a future dark ride or water ride at the park.

We’ve got more theming! 🌊🦑⛵️- Photo from Dreamworlds socials.
