Spotty

The year Superman Escape opened up, I lined up in the shed out the back of the ride. Was a 2 hour wait on a 40 degree day.

Thats good to hear about Scooby Doo and Hollywood StuntDriver. However I'm very sad to hear about Stars Cafe going the way it was. I remember working there and how great the food smelt!

Call dreamworld and say you have the e-mail and can't make it down there. Thats what my mum did And she was able to get one.

I can tell you that the ride overhaul has been in the works for quite some time. You will be pleasantly surprised with what they have planned from what has been hinted at me. I am unable to go into specifics as I have not been told exactly what they plan to do. But I have been told the Tower of Terror will be restored to it's former glory. Also I would much rather Dreamworld be spending their money overhauling major attractions like this, and returning them to their former glory than spending the money on new attractions just yet. It seems that we finally have a CEO that has his head screwed on! All I can say is... BRING ON 2010!!

One word about that tent... FAIL

Moving the Twister wouldn't be such a bad idea. But there is no use with the Speedcoaster. IMO the Kamikaze and Tornado offer a similar experience with the Zero G Feeling that it advertises.

Have you seen photos of it recently? When it went to LPS last year, it had only just arrived and was looking very minimal. I've attached a few photos from AAF. Full Credit for these pics go to TopGunner14 on there forums.

WVTP prices went up a whole 95c this year.

Prices are as follows, with peak seasons from 26th Dec - 26th Jan. DREAMWORLD: $75 and $49 - Peak $72 and $45 - Off Peak WHITEWATER WORLD PRICING: $49 and $34 - Peak $45 and $30 - Off Peak 2 DAY WORLD PASS PRICING: $109 and $79 - Peak $99 and $69 - Off Peak 1 DAY WORLD PASS PRICING: $89 and $62 - Peak $85 and $59 - Off Peak To be honest I was expecting a bit more of a difference but anyway, that's the prices.

Travelling Coasters in Australia that are limited to 1 or 2 shows a year. Taipan (Sydney Show) Big Dipper (Adelaide) Python Loop (Perth) Wacky Worm (Moomba and Ekka) Gold Mine Coaster (Sydney Royal Easter Show) Coasters that travel more. Crazy Coaster (All Capitals + Regional shows in Victoria) Kiddie Roller-coasters (Sooper Jet's / Dragon Wagons)

Also, by the looks of things half the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Queue line will be used for a maze of some sort. It was blocked off today, as well as the Chinatown alley.

Exactly, they don't have to stick to the same scripts every time as they don't have to worry about copyright / licensing ect. in the same way as they would have with Police Academy.

I rode around 20 minutes after park opening. The main room for the ride was rather good, still a few MINOR things not working, but it's the best I've seen it in a long time which is a good thing. I also saw Hollywood Stunt Driver for the first time today, and I don't really see why everyone was bagging it out so much. It was NOT as good as Police Academy, but I still found it rather enjoyable.

With only 9 cars instead of 10

According to the Myfun website, Lethal Weapon is back open again. I will be heading down there tomorrow so I'll let you know of any changes etc.

I believe this was mentioned in another thread about Superman Escape's maintenance. It's getting a bit ridiculous, and I wonder what could be wrong with it.

Oh, they actually have to run downstairs and re-set it? I thought it could just be done on the panel. How far away is this resetting implement if you don't mind me asking. If you are not able to disclose this information I do understand however.

Well, judging by the way he /she presented themselves makes it hard to decide weather or not he is a legitimate employee of WVTP. Also going by the fact that he openly admitted it does make it harder to believe that he / she is one. Just some advice though if you do work for WVTP, be careful what you say on these forums as it could be in breach of your work contract.

Hmmm, Tower of Terror is not even scheduled for maintenance yet but it's been running fine the last few times that I've been there. The claw has had the main arm re-painted and new seat covers and is looking brand new. Hopefully the rest of the ride will get the same treatment. I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Dreamworld is making a comeback, and the future is looking bright with Noel at the reins.

I'd just do the all 3 pass anyway. I wonder if Dreamworld will do something to compete with this or not.

Freakin NICE! My Movie World pass expires in September... so it's tempting. It was funny, I've been really sick lately, and I dreamed about something similar last night. I must not have been dreaming though!

Hmm, it is normal for the Tower of Terror to do what it did. It would have been a drive trip. Normally the ride pulls itself back into the station using the magnets, but not by the steel cable. Which leads me to believe that it was a epic fail. At least you can put AVPX on Q4U now

Personally, I don't think the Wipeout needs replacing yet. Sure it may be 15 years old now, but it's still running fairly well for it's age. It may have had it's problems but I don't think it's on the chopping board just yet. Also as far as I'm aware Vekoma do not make the ride any more, and It would be disappointing to see a Moser replacement as apparently they just do not compare. As for a new thrill ride, I'd love to see a decent full circuit roller-coaster like a B+M sit down or inverted. With the economy the way it is going, Dreamworld or the other parks should not be taking massive risks only to have them flop. They need a decent quality roller-coaster that is going to last.
