Why would they need a Pirate Ship type ride? Doesn't the claw basically do the same thing except spin?

The claw makes you sick now? I just find the claw relaxing and fun. But the wipeout on the other hand... Also I don't know bout discounts but DW had 99 dollar passes around november last year for locals.

Okay. I didn't end up going today as I've decided I want to head down on the 30th for the last ever PA show. I hope Scooby will be running by then. But I will call the park anyway on Wednesday to see if is or not.

I am heading down on the 30th to see the last ever PA show. Should we try and organize an "Unoffical" meet up for then? If we get enough interest I may make a new thread.

So do you think Scooby will be open tomorrow or not?

All I know is i'm heading to Movie World tomorrow if anyone wants to tag along. PM me for my mobile number so we can arrange a meet. I wanna see PA for the last time

Yeah, cause every park needs a eureka! EDIT: 800th Post

Maybe they recruited the Big Brother ninjas to work for WVTP? I mean they switched the FNL sets so quickly, why couldn't they do the same with Hollywood Stunt Driver?

Well, it is a Zamperla ride... But it hasn't ran since xmas from what I recall. The rocket part of the ride is no where to be seen.

Apparently it hasn't been operating for a while. It wasn't running alot of peak season from what I could see when working there.

Well certain people may have been told. And as far as I can see he / she isn't breaching any park rules because they aren't disclosing the location etc.

There would be several ways of getting that info. Knowing someone who works at the parks He could be a WVTP employee of have been a WVTP Employee etc. There are lots of places he could have got that info.

If I can round up some money I will head down. I will let you know if you'd like Gazza.

Well, if they DID replace the Stingray with something else I wouldn't object. The ride is starting to show it's age. And that was proven with the unexpected downtime earlier in the year. We could only presume that something was wrong with it that required URGENT attention. It was the same story with Eureka but not as complex as Eureka is seeming to be. I mean it was there from 1983 as the Roulette Wheel, which makes it 24 years old now. So it's certainly lasted it's lifetime. And if it's costing too much to maintain, maybe it is time it gets replaced.

Ah cheers for that. It should be interesting to see the finished product.

Mainly the time at the top though... Or they could just hire a 3rd person to be grouping while 2 run the ride... Or maybe synchronize them that they dispatch at the same time. Only using the western control panel that can control them both. And then the 2nd gondola operator could be grouping riders up so they can just get on and go.

I still think it is STUPID how long it takes for the car to go from when it slows down to releasing. Not to mention when it goes slow at the end before engaging the gondola. If they went faster during that time, Capacity would greatly improve I reckon. Shaving off around 30 - 40 secs of the cycle time.

Dreamworld Opens at 1:30pm, and closes at 5:30pm on Friday.

I think my fondest memory of that was when they had the Stand up and Sit Down gondolas. I think i was loaded with a girl who wore a pink tutu... way back in 1994

The Parachute tower ride that used to be at Wonderland Sydney. If I remember correctly it was near the GoldRush entry.

I have actually noticed them several times, just never been bothered about it really. And how long did it take for the GD to come back down? I've seen it having to come down slowly from about halfway up several times and it took about 5 mins from there... You would think they would make it descend a bit faster lol.

What I do at night is between me and the teddy!

See Okay... I didn't source that one out... but we can pretend!

Hmmm... thats one of the few things I actually would have NO idea about. I shall try and source it out asap... But I would presume it would be for emergency contact.

Hmmm... If all else fails I may try Wiki. But I don't really see much point in DW going to lengths to remove it if construction starts tomorrow. There wont be any point hiding what the ride is going to look like etc.
