2016 for Movie World
That would probably be because Disney now owns Marvel & want to see Marvel attractions appearing in their parks in the future rather than a rivals.

Old video footage of our Aussie theme parks in 80's/90's
I have a love/hate relationship with the roof. I love what it has allowed the park to do and what they can do with it/hang from the roof. However I much preferred the atmosphere the park had without it and all the massive trees that lined Main Street. I feel the same about the video screen. It allows people to see what's going on all over Main Street, but I don't like how you can no longer see the Daily Planet building properly.

2016 for Movie World
You should some photos of the shop windows with business names since all those name have something to do with the people who built the park like Menzies & C.V Wood.

Man hospitalised after falling out of Dreamworld Log Ride
To me it would be crazy not to have a big company like DW hooked up to some sort of system that recorded the ride for this very reason. The business we had worked on motion detection, every time it picked up movement it begun recording and after a about a week or a month (I can't remember) it wiped those files. That legal company though sounds more like its representing the idiot than DW. A quick read of their About on Facebook makes them sound more like ambulance chasers rather than a big firm that would represent DW.

2016 for Movie World
You know it's funny I don't get to the parks much so I didn't think I'd get audio on GL but of the 4 rides I've had on it, including one after its recent reopening I've had audio every time.

I found this really cool video of Space Mountain stopped with the emergency lights on and staff then coming around to release the brakes and push the trains to get them going again:

Cedar Point - Valravn - World's Tallest, Fastest, Longest Dive Coaster
I've always thought a Dive Coaster would be great at MW, with a flying coaster at SW. Both coaster types with very unique experiences. Budgets however make that a little bit unrealistic.

Maybe the LW theme wasn't so outdated afterall. FOX has greenlit Warner Bros. to go ahead and produce a TV series. http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2016/05/fox-greenlights-lethal-weapon-exorcist-series.html

Carnivale 2016, Movie World, Sea World & Wet'n'Wild
You don't dress up. The park is just full of performers as superheroes and a good chance to see superhero merch like those Batman & Superman capes. The park had a similar event years ago for DC comics birthday.

Why couldn't they do a Superhero themed night since that's what most of their rides are now. Stunt show in the arena and a comic parade at the end of the night.

Sea World updates 2016
^ I'd love to see it return to WnW next to the other Mammoth slide and enclose one of them with lights and music.

Wonderland Sydney 2.0
I don't think people are haters and against it. Just that from the beggining a lot of holes have been punched in this proposal, which makes a lot of people skeptical. If this put forward by VRTP you'd be more optimistic, but even they've had set backs, African Safari World anyone?! People have responded a lot better to the Wanda proposal and they haven't said anything concrete other than they'd like to build one. But that's because the credentials of that company stack up far better than this one.

ABR article "Takeover is the new theme around Ardent Leisure"
I've long thought a merger would be a great thing, especially with a media company, much like Comcast & Disney. We already have Village into movie production and theme parks and until a few years ago a radio company with Austereo. I'd love to see some big entertainment/media company with the likes of TV company, radio company and theme park company together. If Village did that they could even extend their production into TV shows.

Movieworld, or rather Comic World?
I think Mad Max is a missing theme at the park. I'd like to see more LT rides return, the omnimover being one in part of the old river ride buildings. The other being a Rapids, because the park could really use another water ride and have it like the Popeye one at IOA. Finally another theme I'd like to see is Lampoon's Vaction, unfortunately the last movie bombed. But a stunt show (with more family appropriate humor) would be a nice change from HWSD. You can still have car stunts since its a car trip but I picture a return to PA like having a character like Rodney back.

Tiger Island Refurbishment - Dreamworld 2016
I know it seems to be launching at different speeds. But I don't think it just launches will my nilly with the same force each time and the weight determines how high up it goes. i think you'll find it weighs the car once loaded to determine how much force the magnets need to launch the pod up the tower. Same way Batwing and SE weigh themselves before launching. I mean the ride isn't a continuous circuit so it would be pretty irresponsible if it didn't ensuring it doesn't overshoot up the tower, although there are magnetic brakes at the top of the tower like at the end.

If Joz ran Sea World
Another question, I know it's in the video but it's always moving. How many cars are on Serpant's Fury and how many trains can be on the track? My other question is for both coasters. What kind of theming will they have. Will Serpant's Fury have a decked (theme wise) queue and station house? Or will it be a very nice generic looking station like Corckscrew? The spinning coaster I guess is just themed to a pier style coaster? Just much nicer then most pier coaster station houses! The other thing I'd love to see as a nod to the old Sea World is the disappearing UFO trick from BT back in some way on the shooting dark ride, just obviously not a UFO.

If Joz ran Sea World
Well going off council it seems you can get past the 3 stores limit if council signs off on it being okay. Considering the coaster and any other ride plans for the park aren't full on building but only rise up here and there I don't know why the council would have an issue. Joz I also love the nod to Corkscrew in Serpant's Furt with the corkscrew over the monorail.
