Japan Disney (And Universal) is no good with kids. WAAAAAAAAY TOO crowded. Not to mention stupidly expensive to stay close by the DL resort. Longest wait times of any Disney or Universal Park anywhere. The quality is amazing, sure but not worth the wait. Especially with kids. With nothing new at USS since Transformers and Sesame st (and still won't be for years to come) Hong Kong seems like a pretty obvious choice. The new Antman ride looks pretty good with lots more on the way plus you have Ocean Park down the road.

Snazzy! A Super Nintendo World expansion is a logical choice for USS. But it is a shame that all of this expansion will have to come at the cost of "byebye!" to FarFar Away and the Waterworld Stunt Show Area, -given the Park has literally no wiggle room to look anywhere else.

In that case unsurprisingly, I don't know anybody that eats Popcorn or Fairy Floss or Soft Drink at DW. .

... "Soft Drink and either Popcorn or Fairy Floss to Snack on".. How extremely generous of you Dreamworld.

What's with the dancing at the end? -
Oooooooooo a Giant Sea Worm😊 - early rendering, no doubt first of April edition.

Mostly White. With a Blue track.

I'm fine for Travelling rides to fill a void in a Park while something better is in the works. So long as it is in perfect shape and can be integrated well into the landscape, much as SW has done. Long term however, SW absolutely needs a Giant, permanent version of one of these rides, that would compliment the popular seaside amusement Park vista coming end of next year. DW really should take note and only need look to their own passed with this too. Right now they need to fill gaps in their line up, while getting SV ready and other rides fixed, put in some travelling temps (like a KMG in the former Wipeout spot) that would absolutely help right now. Affordably so too.
-
So what/how much more is it going to take to get SV open? (Is the 25 million dollar question!) This is turning out to be one Damn expensive Flying Theatre. Maybe they should have put it at Southbank. At least it would have been open by now.
-
...Considering so much of the ride was re-built not that long ago, couldn't it have been sold rather than just destroyed?

This was actually a very early days idea for MW, believe it or not and the Theme toyed around at the time was the movie "Towering Inferno". By early days I mean BATR (early 90's) This ride experience was a tonne of fun. Felt more like a ride on the 'Zipper' with the Cage like cars and how you wound up on your back before being swung back down after reaching the end of the run out. I experienced the one at 6 Flags Magic Mountain and from memory it was a super Popular ride with long lines. The freefall experience was quite terrifying. I would dearly love to see Intamin bring back this experience with a modern day look and feel.

Maybe they should keep their drains clear of leaves.

Dreamworld March Update
MickeyD replied to Gold Coast Amusement Force's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If you were to believe the Spin of DW's Marketing department, sure why not. -
Nope. I believe the issues are with the Building/Structure that houses the ride, I am sure the ride itself is fine. The main reason for the delay is DW are still trying to figure out how to fit cages over the top of the Gondolas and adding safety "nooses" to slip around the necks of Rider's and keep them from falling out of the seats. It's all part of DW being Industry leaders in Safety!

So they talk the best part of a year to refurbish this ride and still couldn't get the Audio to work? Amazing. -
So pretty and a perfect addition for Luna Park😃 It will add beautifully to the already Impressive light show from the Harbour at night

If they had you would already know, so no. -
Wow those old Wave Swingers last and last! The MM one was not brand new in the 80s and to think these things are still going around decades on! I had heard it went to Wonderland, what after that? Is it the Aussie World one?
-
Wow
-
Finally a new Stunt Show?
-
Looks like the Magic Mountain one but from memory that Park re-opened in this form around 1983?
