Jamberoo Fan

@AlexB, I didn't 'attempt' to translate it - that's just how I read it but I acknowledge my initial interpretation was probably not what @jjuttp meant. By the way, you said you've been in Jamberoo's former maze - can you tell me more about it (particularly it's operating years & location in the park)? For a while, I've known Jamberoo had a maze but have found little information about it.

I refer to part of a post I made in that 'Sea World Expansion' topic: Here's an artist impression that was released today that shows very well how the development will look next to Sea World: A more panoramic version of the artist impression can be found here.

Kevil Hill: Zombie Evolution has also appeared on the maintenance page. The maintenance page says it is closed but the ride page implies it is open during school holidays.

I completely forgot that the theming on The Perfect Storm's main Tornado can also be seen fully installed in their new TV commercial (I knew I saw it somewhere else) at the 9 second mark. Also, Jamberoo today released this season's Dive-In Movies schedule: 31st December 2016 – Minions 7th January 2017 – Inside Out 14th January 2017 – Home 21st January 2017 – The Good Dinosaur 28th January 2017 - The Peanuts Movie

Probably the latter. I saw the flame effects working on the top (and maybe inside) of the volcano & rode it for the 1st time prior to 2008.

Inquests only occur if somebody died & if the Coroner thinks it is needed or if it is requested & the Coroner/District Court agrees with your request's reasoning. 3 and the QLD Government does do an annual audit on theme parks. As far as I know, Sea World & Wet 'n' Wild (and maybe Australia Zoo) have not released their safety audit findings to the public so we don't know that will end up being the case. In the end, the QLD Government may formally release the findings as they are going to review them. Remember, TRRR's investigation findings are not released yet. For all we know, DW may be at fault.

I was doing comparisons of Scooby-Doo footage with the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster a while ago and it is extremely accurate. Some things have been moved around but it is very very accurate: The ride's exterior is very similar to the one in the movie (00:13) The room where Daphne kicks the door open is Spooky Coaster's station (00:19) The room Fred & Velma are originally in is the 1st section of the coaster (but with small drops) (00:36) The Bookcase Room is the part with the swinging axes so it is in the ride (01:15) 'The Dinner Show' (your 'Feast Room') would be nice to be included but I don't know how would you get the food to fly past onto the wall next to the carriage. I doubt that would happen. The ride was built based on the 2002 movie & re-theming it to another part of the franchise (new movie/original cartoons) may prove not only expensive but difficult (even though re-theming sounds relatively easy).

I was only thinking of the track when referring to permanent infrastructure which I was imagining to be made of cement. Cement can be considered 'permanent'. 2 years ago. I was thinking the exact same thing! Dune buggies make more sense to me - it wouldn't require as much earthworks as go-karts would. They could operate on grass alone. @YLFATEEKS, see above for dune buggy opening date. With those prices, I wouldn't be surprised if the dune buggies never get used.

Bermuda Triangle is my favourite ride - I rode it for the 1st time in the late 2000's & it seemed like it operated as it did when it opened (based on people's descriptions who rode it in the mid-1990's). Unless my memory has made me forget, I didn't realise the twist that one of the recruiters was an alien - I was always confused as to why a human was in an alien world full of robots The only thing that I think didn't feature when I rode it but was there on opening day was the flame shooting out of the flume's exit out of the volcano (see photo from an archived SW website) - I was looking forward to the flame shooting 'out of the tunnel' as the 'research probe' went zooming past it. Can someone tell me if that featured when it opened in 1994?:

@Jordan M., I think they are complaining that your initial post was very vague - you don't write a topic title mentioning 'upcharge attraction' & have the 1st post not mention anything similar to that at all. It's like me writing a topic called 'New Sydney Theme Park Confirmed' and then posting 'Noticed some construction/earth works next to Wet 'n' Wild Sydney the other day in the space formerly occupied by some farms. Some shipping containers around too... I wonder what they have coming.'. There was no link to connect the 2 pieces of information together - the posts literally meant anything. And if the information is public, can you just show us or link us to it? @YLFATEEKS, I figured out the image you posted - why did you even post it in this topic though? Go-karts? Wouldn't that require permanent infrastructure?

Did anyone even notice that the Arkham Asylum Virtual Reality is off the maintenance page?

That's what the photo description said on the Gold Coast City Council website.

How do you know: Is it is a new attraction? If it is a new attraction, that it is an upcharge attraction? All I can tell from that is that they are digging there with some tyres laying about.

Happy 35th Birthday Dreamworld! That Facebook post by DW that @reanimated35 shared was very interesting: Despite opening a year later, Thunderbolt & the surrounding Country Fair must have been planned to open on opening day as that park map of DW was published in the Gold Coast Bulletin on opening day exactly 35 years ago. The area we consider Main Street was originally called Plaza with Main Street being the bit between Plaza & Country Fair (current day area between Top Spin & the Main Street Fountain). Kelly's Shooting Gallery (known for being in Town Of Gold Rush) was originally in Gum Tree Gully. The island's original name was Castaway Island. An art gallery originally featured near the Ice Cream Parlour. The Fairytale Treasures was not there on opening day - instead it was White House Souvenirs. The Bumper Cars were originally located in front of Thunderbolt. A helipad existed originally where Town Of Gold Rush stands. An 'Indian Camp' existed near where Dreamworld Woolshed now stands - the purpose of the Indian Camp? It wasn't for the Captain Sturt Paddle Steamer, you'll find out in the article I've posted below. If anyone wants a more high-resolution look at that newspaper feature that DW posted, click here. It's nice to have an opening day park map that clearly states every single ride, attraction, shop, amenity etc. This photo from Gold Coast City Council shows Rix family members on the Captain Sturt Paddle Wheeler at DW's official opening (Norm Rix - furthest family member on the right - was the Gold Coast City Council Alderman for Ward 2 at the time) This article from The Australian Woman's Weekly archived on the National Library Of Australia's Trove service was published approximately 2 months prior to opening: The last sentence of the above article is the most important sentence in the whole article.

This true information.

FlowRider was taken off the maintenance webpage suddenly on Monday I think. Looking back on historical sources, @joz is correct on all of them but I should point out that Sea Viper's permanent closure was announced on the 17th of July 2014 with it's removal beginning 12 days later on the 29th of July 2014 so @AlexB is correct on his initial point that Sea Viper was quickly removed after it's permanent closure was announced. Also, I should point out that Sky High Skyway had it's removal begin weeks before it's permanent closure was confirmed too but like DW, it's support towers/stations still stand. If Viking's Revenge is like Sea Viper, it's removal would begin on the 22nd of December but given the holiday period & the complexity in removing it, it probably will still be SBNO until at least after the summer holidays.

I'm not sure if this has been built anywhere in the world but I found this recently from Dynamic Attractions - their SFX Coaster.

It would match what they did for SE if that ended up as the case - SE was first formally announced to the media in a media call about massive expansions at all VRTPs. That media call happened in mid-September 2005. In my guess timetable, I've put it as early June 2017 but I've also put construction fencing marketing being added in early March 2017 too.

Some interesting quotes from news.com.au: Does anyone know if that attendance figure is for DW-only or DW & Whitewater World?

I know but I've never seen what it would look like back pre-1986 from the point of view of the walkway between Rocky Hollow & Central Park Station. For all I know, they may have hidden it with trees along that walkway until Eureka Mountain was built. As I've only ever seen it covered by Eureka Mountain as a means of hiding it, that's why I would find it odd - I expect some sort of theming to replace Eureka Mountain when it's demolished.

I agree & I did say I think the mountain/ride is guaranteed demolition now. I did speculate them re-building the mountain/ride though.

I just would find it odd if the Dreamworld Cinema had all it's exterior walls themed except the huge white back exterior wall.

Well unless they decide to re-theme Town Of Gold Rush, I think it is possible. They could even include a different type of attraction in a new mountain. Either way, something interesting has to hide the huge white back exterior wall of the Dreamworld Cinema.

About 4000 is very good if their daily average attendance is about 6000 (or less if I could somehow exclude SkyPoint's daily average attendance to that figure). I know there are variations in attendances due to holidays & weather etc. (like you said 12,000 is a very good day) but if they just follow the average until Boxing Day, that would be good for DW.

Tallest full-circuit rollercoaster in Australia? But seriously, my current guess for the hypercoaster's length is 1.9km.
