Guess I won't be pleased with the addition then Let's see what happens, shall we?

^ Please, God, no! Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is an awful coaster (and theme for that matter). Haven't had a chance to give RnRC a go, but I'm sure it's 10x better. Seriously though, I don't care what Dreamworld builds next. As long as it looks good (theming, presentation), high capacity and appeals to more than just 'kids', I'll be happy.

Back on topic... I'm going to throw my 2c into the jar and say that I'm not a big fan of woodies. I have been on MANY woodies (from very good to very bad) and, in general, prefer the (smoother) ride of a steel coaster. There are some wooden coasters that I like (Prowler, Renegade and Evel Knievel for example), but unfortunately, with age and poor upkeep, they tend to get a tad too rough for my liking. Obviously steel coasters do this as well, but I would rather ride a rough steel coaster over a rough wooden coaster any day. * This is my own opinion and you can't change that -- so don't even try.

I love them! They're not smooth, but not painful either (in most cases). They deliver a thrilling ride and going backwards through the loop offers some great forces.

No outdoor coaster. Just an indoor "Rock n Coaster".

^ The coasters are there, inside the buildings. Seriously, I will only be doing the exteriors. Don't have that much time on my hands!

Over the past few months I have been developing a version of 'Disney's Hollywood Studios' using Sketchup. Now, it's not based on a real park, but some of the facades, rides and attractions are based on actual creations in various Disney parks around the world. Thoughts? (BTW, the park is still 'under construction', so please keep that in mind when commenting on certain facades/areas)

Great news! I love Aussie World. It's such a nice little park, but really did need something new. I really hope this ride is popular with the locals. I rode a few of these in America, and found them to be quite fun. They aren't 'thrilling', but they are far from boring.

I personally would like to see something built other than a coaster. An interactive ride like Toy Story Mania would be a lot of fun, although you can't beat a more traditional dark ride. I have been trying to think of a theme other than 'Looney Tunes' that's currently popular and would fit in with Kids' WB, but honestly cannot think of anything. I wonder if they're going to create a sub-themed area, or change the area entirely (which I would say is very unlikely, seeing as it was changed just a few years ago). Also, Tjay, I understand that they don't have hundreds of maintenance crews. Obviously I don't work for the park, so I don't know whether the park is refurbishing the street or not...

^ I didn't know for sure if it was going to be finished off. Look, I'm not trying to tick anybody off, but simply raise my concerns. Surely all of you can see that Main Street is in need of some serious work... And I hope that work is being done, as hinted by Djrappa.

Probably. Construction seemingly was completed a while ago, but maybe they were a bit slow to finish up the surrounding bits...

Castaway Bay is great -- yes. I'll give you that. I am just going off my experiences from the last few months, and obviously all of today's examples. If you say that work is being completed then I am happy. I do ask though, how is it obvious? (did I miss something?) Anyway, as I said, if I am proved wrong then I am happy. I'm not out to bad mouth the park and give it a bad name, but rather express my concerns. After all, I remember a time when the park had an amazing atmosphere. But, unfortunately, now most of that has deteriorated in my opinion. Just my 2 cents...

Went to the park today. It looked terrible. Every building down Main Street was in need of a refurb... to the point where black duct tape was being used. Not to mention the many windows that were completely open (to the point where you could see the internal roof), to equipment sticking out, speaker covers flapping in the wind and electricity cords running from one window to another. Found it interesting that some things have been fixed up, but replaced with the wrong colour wood panels, or panels that were completely different the building's overall design. Many of the park's major rides are in need of some serious work (Wild West, Scooby Doo, Batman Adventure, Looney Tunes), including the queue lines and surrounding facades. In my opinion, the park is on a par with a somewhat decent Six Flags park... which is far from world class, and also consider that Movie World's "point of difference" is theming, storylines and movie magic. Back on topic... I think we won't see anything too "complicated" replace the River Ride. I believe that WVTP will not want to spend the money needed to maintain a ride like this, as MickeyD has said. I want to be proven wrong here, but if they won't/can't spend the money required to keep the park looking somewhat decent, how can we expect them to spend "big" on the next attraction (theming wise). Of course, things may change once the VIP passes expire. I feel the next big attraction (as well as Sea World's BT replacement) will debut once the VIP passes have finished.

^ Sounds pretty cool. I really wish they'd rebrand the Looney Sports Store, though. It's full of HWSD merchandise!

Does anyone have a picture showing the building's exterior?

Those fly coasters are quite common at Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks (from what I have seen). I went on one at Kings Dominion and loved it. I'm glad that WnW is installing one because I find they deliver quite a thrilling experience.

^ Do you know if the 'Music Man' theme will be removed?

Love the ad! I really hope that the park continues to refurb some older attractions over the next few years. I also hope that they have something big in store for next year!

It might be the pre-show room for that new B&M the park is receiving next year...

I mistyped it originally as 'iMac'... Back on topic... I'm really glad to see that Dreamworld are starting to fix up parts of the park. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come!

That's great! Have any of the external facades been painted? I can't wait to see what happens with the iMax theatre.

Has anything been done with the Marketplace?

Couldn't you just have coaster cars that resemble old cars? Even Disney wouldn't do something that extreme...
