New display name

I can see where they’re coming from, and it’s definitely a reasonable take. Staggered announcements can work well, especially if the goal is to get people talking, squeezing in a final ride, and speculating about what’s next. That kind of buzz during a busy holiday period can be valuable. That said, I’m still a bit on the fence. Based on DW’s recent history, when something is really locked in they usually hint at it early, even if it’s just a “new attraction coming” tease. A replacement announcement can actually add to the urgency rather than take away from it, giving people both a last chance and something to look forward to. It’s totally possible they’ve got rides ordered but haven’t finalised theming or names yet. The lack of trademarks does suggest they’re not quite ready for a full reveal. But for now, it feels more like plans are still being worked through rather than a deliberately quiet marketing strategy. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out once the ride actually closes.

I’m not buying what other enthusiasts are saying. If Dreamworld had a replacement lined up for the Motocoaster, going by their track record over the last five years, they would’ve mentioned it when they announced the closure.

@Bailz I no longer need this, so you’re welcome to have it.

How hard is it for people to make a new topic?

In the short timeframe MW has turned out an ok show but now MW needs to polish it into a great show. (I do agree with @MickeyD leaving the set was a mistake as the show doesn't make much use of it) Skeet's top tips to make the show sing. Stop fist pumping the guest, the show isn't a FMX event. Barry's introduction to the show requires a rewrite. The second I laid eyes on Barry (before the attention was drawn towards him), I already knew he was part of the show. Barry, nobody is walking around MW on a hot day wearing protective clothing (not even Barry). Barry you put the gloves & helmet on like you're a professional stunt rider. Barry choose a motorbike, (aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) it's not the 80's anymore MW, we see the the small motorbike we know he is going to pick it. The fix. a. Loose the protective flannel to needed. b. Have cast member dress Barry. ACT like Barry doesn't know what he is doing. c. Let the cast member choose the bike for Barry to ride. d. Give Barry either a pushbike or a motorbike with training wheels. The choreography requires work for the chases. It feels like everybody is doing there own thing. You miss moments like Barry got the case over there because I was watching the bike on the jump over here. Build scaffold to the front of the building (blue) and have the fight scene on it. Tucked away in the corner is weird. I see you. Stage crew shouldn't be seen and it gives it away that Barry is about to fall. Remind me again, who is chasing who, you already have the case. . Add effects to the gun. (It looks like they are trying to shake the last bit of sauce out of the bottle). I can't even work out how spraying the aeroguard, won the day. The fire effects need a rethink to tie them into better with the show. The show is still overly centered on cars and bikes which gets old quickly. I want to see less cars and more STUNTS. Throw Barry off buildings. Set Barry on fire. Let Barry take a bullet or 2. Why all of a sudden is Barry is in this car? The story works MW, so with a few changes, you can make it a must see show.

Release the Battle Rig..........................................

Compared to Thredbo's coaster, this looks lame.

Great

To clarify,

2 things I believe have been done shit. The disco room has been done shit. The new loose items boxes have been done shit. EDIT: I have a third The music/sounds have been done shit.

What I took away from my experience. MW have this ability to make things worse than what it was before while trying to make it better. It's pure witchcraft.

Clearly you're still a freshman if you believe this discussion has reached peak enthusiast level. We've had a discussion with endless pages & pages of comments, just on the colour of a ride.

a slide is considered a type of amusement ride, especially large ones found at fairs or parks, like Giant Slides, Water Slides, or Helter Skelters, which involve climbing stairs (or a lift) and sliding down for fun, using gravity for motion just like a coaster. Why it's a ride: Amusement: It provides entertainment and thrills, similar to other park attractions. Mechanics: Uses physics (potential to kinetic energy) to move people, often with a specific vehicle (mat, raft) or just the body. Structure: Has distinct parts (stairs, slide surface) and often requires payment or acceptance of terms for use. Variety: Ranges from simple playground slides to massive water slides and carnival "giant slides" with multiple lanes for racing. So whether it's a small playground slide or a massive waterpark attraction, if it's designed for recreational sliding, it fits the definition of a ride.

Has it just reopened or it running like a 🐷?

A water slide is a ride but it doesn't surprise me DW doesn't know. 😆
