Tower of Terror ongoing/indefinite closure (Dreamworld)
Tower along with all the other coasters are Dreamworld have queues due to their stupidly low capacity. Building a low capacity ride and getting long queues doesn't mean it is popular it just means it is horrible at handling crowds.

DC Rivals Hypercoaster Climb
Seems the only thing steeper than the stairs seems to be the price to climb up said stairs. Will agree with what's said above for $100 I would expect more than just the stairs. Some sort of behind the scenes stuff like maintenance bay or watching them commission the ride for the day and I'd consider it.

Disneyland / California Adventure / Universal
Park hoppers allow unlimited re-entry on days the ticket is valid to both parks so yes it is ok to leave either park and return later in the day/night. You don't need a hand stamp they just scan the pass again at the ticket gates and allow you access back into the park.

Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster refurb
Because it is only merchandise and not an attraction. There is nothing stopping a park from selling a certain licensed property. Hell King's Island had a store selling both DC and Marvel merchandise. Selling merchandise is completely different to opening an attraction based on the IP.

Gold Coast show 2018
Don't get this statement when Brisbane also charges entry to their show and you then pay to go on which rides you want.

Sky Voyager Discussion
Given the history of the park it isn't too much of an expectation. Kings Island is currently owned by Cedar Fair but I bet the International Street section of the park looked a lot like it does now when the park opened. If Cedar Fair are smart enough not to do stupid shit to buildings in the park is it really too much to expect the same with Dreamworld?

Would say they could do worse but think they already are!

Theme Parks during Ekka
It's known for being a place where the cold/flu likes to be spread around. Some other regions have their show holiday on the Monday so things might not be as quiet as you expect it to be at the parks.

Gotham drink refill station closes during off-peak
Would ask why you can't just buy a season long refill cup but that would stop the crazily overpriced reactivation fee if you wanted to use it a second day. For those complaining about soft drink you're not being forced to buy it and heaps of people choose it. I don't drink soft drink at Dreamworld but that's because the only options there are water or beer.

Would suggest we are finally getting Coke Freestyle machines by that post but no way we would be getting nice things like those which have powerade as an option.

Green Lantern work
Anyone else find it funny there are two Green Lantern coasters currently closed with no real explanation?

10 Year Plans
Some parks are dreaming if they think they have a five year plan let alone going as far as a ten year plan!

Traveling fairs!
Pavilion looks to be the same size, main difference is the wood chop has moved to the the Bowen Bridge Road end of the alley taking up that space.

Wet & Wild buggy permanently closed?
This is one attraction that has never really made sense to me. It seems more at home in sand dunes than a water park. I go to water parks for slides and pools not to ride a dirt buggy. The park needs to invest in new slides not contract third party out of place pay per use attractions.

The same theming it has outdoors?

Looking at the photo of Sea World used with it the maze part would be in reference to the entrance to the park

Theme Park Maintenance 2018
If that's the case they really should have gone the Premier Sky Rocket II but if that was the case they would have ended up with something way more fun 😂

Good chance they have replaced them with new parts and not just repainted them.

Higher up is better, if people are willing to part with their money to have people walk past every so often it's their loss.

USA Group Tour 2019 - Putting Feelers Out
Fastlane or Fastlane Plus? I am about to do a large portion of your trip B and have allocated 1-1.5 days at KI and 2 days at CP so kinda hard to say which I would prefer. That being said 9 hours is a decent amount of time at Kings Island so 9 at KI and 2 days at CP would probably be the better option if I was to choose to do either of those trips.
