The whole concept of 'Rivertown' kind of demands a boat ride on the river. It's just a massive dead-zone in the park and a barrier to get around right now. Might as well use the space. Personally I'd love to see the return of Paddle Steamer (with a show element) or even something like a Jungle Cruise. Water rides need a lot of space to execute well, so I don't think this is the place for that. I'd rather see that in RHLR area or in the Thunderbolt plot to bridge the Wet/Dry parks (or both). I wouldn't be upset to see a single-rail coaster (Raptor) to fill the thrill/fear gap between JR and ST. Or maybe a Wild Mouse. I know a wild mouse isn't that exciting as a concept, but Scooby is extremely popular and either type of coaster would be a good replacement on a smaller footprint. I'd also like to see another family friendly flat - something like a Zamperla Demolition Derby. I know they're kind of lame, but they're visually impressive to look at if themed well, and they're a great ride for little kids to ride with grandparents. Then the park has Dreamland for little kids, Rivertown for Families/Everyone, Ocean Parade/ST/GD for high thrills.

The day is finally here! Post from Dreamworld: Motocoaster is revving up for its farewell at Dreamworld, with the iconic thrill ride set to close on Monday 2 February 2026. Since 2007, Motocoaster has delivered high-energy fun for nearly two decades, including its legendary years as the Mick Doohan Motocoaster 🏍️ Whether you’ve ridden it a hundred times or you’re yet to jump on, now’s the moment to buckle up, soak up the nostalgia and take a victory lap (or two) before Motocoaster takes the chequered flag. Your last chance to ride: Sunday 1 February 2026.

This was an early December change Locals Annual Pass/Interstate Annual Pass > All Worlds Annual Same thing, just no post code restriction/same price for everybody. $10 price increase from previous locals pricing to $169 online (full price). Saver Annual Pass > Dreamworld Annual Pass Value Annual Pass no longer available There’s also the seasonal WWW pass @ $99 and Groupon has a $99 Dreamworld Annual with “Interstate Residents Only“ in their terms Approximately a week ago they introduced a “limited time offer” for Locals only at $124 Adults/$114 Kids for the All Worlds Pass.

Exactly this. If they’re going to build a dark ride they should be doing it in either rocky hollow or ocean parade. Or even better, use the big shed that was formerly laser skirmish for it.

It wouldn’t be the first time a park said a ride is permanently closing only for a re-invented version of that same ride to reopen a year later. Until a bulldozer rolls in or the word demolished is used I will keep an open mind.

Yep is a new Mack ride. Pretty sure there’s one that’s been built already. Looks like an awesome concept, but I’ve been huge on a well themed shoot the chutes for Dreamworld for a while now. Something like Jurassic park on the coast would be awesome.

An awful lot of arms length knowledge on how atmospheric effects work in this thread. 1) Dry Ice machines can never produce atmospheric haze type effects for use with lasers. They are inherently expensive and hazardous to operate (you are putting pellets of solid CO2 into boiling water) and all your get is low hanging vapour that sits on the ground and then vanishes - totally impractical for something like Scooby. 2) Most all water based ‘hazers’ are neither of those two things. They use glycol and water mixture, so when they say ‘water based’ they mean not oil basically. They then use a traditional smoke machine style pressure pump and heating block to produce smoke and then combine it with a fan to make the ‘haze’. The cons are more cloud like haze that will set off any sort of detection system based on particles, and they tend to use a lot of fluid which is expensive (think $400+ for one 25L bottle). 3) People have a a misinformed idea that Oil Based Hazers = mess and CO2 powered hazers = expensive to operate. They are both inaccurate. The indisputable best haze system on the market is from a Canadian company and uses both Mineral Oil based fluid, and CO2. It uses their proprietary tech to break down the mineral oil under heat and pressure into tiny micro controls particles which result in an extremely fine, dry haze that leaves no residue, lasts for hours and uses very very little fluid. Rather than a pump it uses pressurized CO2 to push the fluid through the system, and tiny amounts of that to. Its both cheap to operate, works great, is reliable and in many cases won’t even set off particle detectors it’s so fine. So you then probably ask, “why doesn’t everyone use it?” Most simply because of scare opinion that Oil = Bad so they don’t even try. But in fact Village themselves use the same system at the Outback Spectacular show, uses so little consumables it uses maybe 2.5L of fluid a fortnight and runs off the waste CO2 gas from their low fog system. So it’s not about amazing detectors, or being too cheap or any of that. It’s about perception by the powers that allow these things or not. And if the risk analysis won’t allow something then no amount of ‘passion’ or ‘attitude’ is going to change anything. It’s perception at that level that requires altering and that’s much harder than buying a fancy purple haze machine
