Ah yes... I can totally agree with your comments about the Male Supervisor (I'll call him JM) haha. Cranky, but also a great bloke. I will admit I have some fond memories of my time there, and some not so fond ones haha. Overall it wasn't bad, but around the time that I left things were really starting to go downhill slowly. Glad I left, but glad I had the experience

As far as I know it was sold by Intamin but built by ABC Engineering. They have built several other flat rides including the Toubillion Model that is also known for having major issues (Cyborg Spin at Six Flags for example)
-
The Funtime models for the most part have been proven to be very reliable, Sea World cheaped out and brought a lemon much like they did with Doomsday.
-
The only place that they could really expand (and I'm not sure if they actually can for structural reasons) would be ontop of the carpark. But even then you could maybe fit 1 or 2 flat rides at the most. The only thing I can think of is maybe a repaint of the front half of the park and just giving a general refresh. Not really much could be done given the space they have. But any investment is good investment.

Snowy River Sam here, please keep moving all the way down. Remember 4 to a row, or the boat don't go!

Normally Superman was Feb - April and Batwing would be March - April depending on when the school holidays / easter long weekend were. If the easter long weekend was in March it would go down in February but if it was in April it would go down in March. Would make sense for Flash and Superman to go down at the same time though. If possible I'd try to have Batwing not at the same time anymore because 3 major rides at once is a bit sucky...

What ride should replace Doomsday Destroyer?

But they can do what they do best... run it at half capacity, maybe even 1/4 capacity! -
Maybe in 12 months it will hatch into a diamond? Or maybe a subtle dig at village that even they can make a turd look better than what is down the road.

Thanks... I can't unsee the reference you made earlier and I hate it haha.

I'm getting FotWW queue vibes... hopefully they will add more to it over time. I have more faith in Dreamworld doing this than Village Roadshow.

I can tell you right now... 3 of those they had no intention of reopening once they closed (Bermuda, Tunes and Pirate). Pirate was up for sale anyway, no idea why they got rid of it when it had no major issues. Bermuda and Tunes had structural issues that were going to be very expensive to repair and from the very early stages of the closure they knew it wasn't going to reopen sadly. I still remember operating Tunes on its last day of operation, the last operator to be in the lift room when it closed.

They have a decent amount of land behind Wild West Falls where they house the scare mazes for Fright Nights that they could use for expansion. The area behind Scooby Doo / WoZ is quite large as well and you could fit a few rides or a whole new area in there, especially if you utilise the Doomsday area and the old show stage building. Another coaster is NOT what the park needs right now. As multiple people have stated they need a few decent flat rides to help soak up the capacity as the park is struggling with that right now. -
I can pretty much guarantee that Batwing is not going anywhere and something has happened. The ride for the most part has been very reliable except for a few teething issues in its opening weeks and a cable snap in 2012 (This can happen on any ride). I'm not concerned in the slightest about the future of Batwing.

HUSS still makes the Enterprise https://www.hussrides.com/en/family-thrill-rides/enterprise-2g-2gh/ and other companies such as Zamperla make similar rides.
