Park Addict 93

Carnivale bookings/dates are live for February 2024. General Admission is the same as last year $69 Adults $49 Kids Aqua Light Show and Affinity at Night confirmed as returning, website homepage advertises "ride the Leviathan and Trident at night" although the current maintenance schedule posted for Sea World says Trident will be unavailable on the 16th and 23rd. Upcharges Disappointed to see the Festival Flavours Pass is now simply one food item (full size serve) + souvenir sipper / unlimited refills, a single scoop ice cream and a churro. Is it really festival flavours if only one item is not available during standard day trade? Although objectively its good value when a souvenir sipper is now $17 on its own.

I'm thinking LT for now and closer to WOOP opening it being a mix.

I dont mind this pricing, think it’s low enough for casual/infrequent visitors while encouraging anyone that would be local and visit more often to simply fork out for an Annual Pass.

Worth noting that for the day parade Joker and Harley as well as The Justice League have been on foot for awhile now (they also were on those old style "wide berth" floats). I don't doubt there is/was a plan to retire this style of float but they still did have one in operation during the parade (Santa). Overall as others have said, very similar to last year. No Marilyn or Scrooge character this year although there did appear to be more roaming elves. Crowd cap appears similar to last year too, despite being sold out it felt very manageable.

A fair bit of pooling at ride exit (which is between the ops booth and the que). Slightly wet floor at the front of the general single que. Certainly less than the photo above, my understanding is the fountains have been "turned down" since initial staff testing. Ride Express que runs along the inside of the ride and was dry. 2 staff checking restraints, didn't take too long. As soon as everyone exited from the previous cycle the double seat que was admitted, then the ride express then single. Single seats simply have the restraint between legs, you can do your own seatbelt (*cough* Trident).

So it soft opened this afternoon around 2:00pm Solid ride, cycle approximately 3mins. I was at the front of the que for my second ride and did get a light mist at points but I certainly don’t feel that was an issue.

They also still advertise the parade as "Movie World’s BIGGEST parade ever! " Despite two floats being retired since last year's event and are now static props between SDSC/Midway Games.

Not my experience, always an entry host but yeah may have been behind the CCTV bench. They also are at entrance to manage the FT (and formerly VQ) verification.

Really good deal (link for those interested) https://al-dreamworld.secure-cdn.oc.accessoticketing.com/packageDetails/2032 Credit to Dreamworld for lowering the renewal price to $99 and still including the bonus vouchers too.

Definitely another great addition to a park already ensuring all guests can have a fantastic day at the park.

Exactly this, previously the parks would charter a bus to Helensvale Station and earlier years Surfers Paradise after Fright Night for staff and customers. They no longer do this. A quick look also seems like the Top Golf shuttle also no longer exists.

I don’t know if they even still have the second train, it hasnt been used since before Covid as far as I have seen. Haven’t seen it in the maintenance bay even.

Globe certainly has spun before but it was a bit inconsistent.

Didnt notice the single rider line but on night 1 despite not being listed as included I can confirm those with Fast Track Ride did have an entitlement in the app for it.

i don’t remember seeing any pre shows besides the conjuring So the “bonus rooms” for Fast Track/VIP in each of the 3 new mazes are essentially pre-show/backstory. Saving my review of the event as a whole til after my second visit tonight. DCseased que at the start of the night. 1hr according to the app.

To clarify I was talking about club entry/2 drinks. ($35 staff price vs $75 General). As others have stated though despite being “sold out” ticket for the night in general are still available (as are staff tickets at $44.50).

Perhaps speaking to the popularity of “The Underground Club” a last min staff offer for $35 for entry/2 drinks has been made for the first 3 nights (also the dates that were available for staff discounted entry).

Agreed that it’s not the best setup but when was the last time JR ran with two trains? I cant recall it doing so in recent years. For those curious

Unlike JR though they have been paid lockers for quite awhile.

Either that or they simply arent that secure eg. Green Lantern

Seems to be some confusion here, general maze fast track includes access to the special rooms. That wasn’t exclusive to the ultimate package. Whilst the package is now listed as sold out in the T&Cs I honestly doubt it would have been overly popular considering all aspects are still available separately. Possibly they simply wanted to change the allocation of fast track with the package to general fast track sale.

Correct! But that is what it was always announced as.

Very odd being on the water last night and seeing it missing from the park outline.

SE was also down Saturday (presumably all day, when leaving around 12 it had been added to the maintenance board at park entrance). Indeed it did, even the new Starro projection has been working fairly consistently.

It changed roughly a year ago if I remember correctly.
