With a general admission, last year we did all 3 of the mazes twice (Hellship we did 6 times as my son loved the theme and then he did it twice solo, and DCeased once as we felt it was the weakest). Also managed to do DC, Batwing and Superman as well as having an hour to wander around watching the street scarers. Just have to prioritise the main mazes first and then hit the lesser ones later in the night.

As a business model, hells yes it is the smarter move. Just more evidence they can't follow through on anything

Nice to see those Tik Tok subscribers getting more BTS and ahead of the rest treatment. Can't even include key holders?

From where your tickets / passes are scanned allowing you entry, DF is approx. 20 metres straight ahead... That same distance doesn't even get you to the arch at MW from the turnstiles. So if we take it from the arch instead, the closest ride is Batwing Spaceshot at 40 metres, but it is not within the "courtyard" area of the roundabout and is instead off to the side. There is still an open empty area and even some sort of storefront. As I replied above, DF will be within 20 metres of the entrance... Less than the distance between two street poles. As a comparison, the closest edge of Ballroom Blitz at Aussie World version is the same distance to the centre of Bug Run... Just on the other side of a path...

"Off the top of my head I can't think of any other park I have been to that has a ride as soon as you enter." I assumed there would be some out there hence the wording. Jeez everyone still so eager to be right.

Removal of virtual queue at VRTP?
MaxxTheMonster replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Add it to the Village Key to get more sales... Or instead offer it only to tik tok subscribers- 33 replies

While it might look good and I am happy to be wrong if that is the case, walking in the entry straight at a ride feels like it is losing a bit more of the feel. Getting a photo with the globe and then planning your next moves was great in this area because it was quiet aside from other people doing the same. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other park I have been to that has a ride as soon as you enter.

So we have 3 in house mazes. Wonder what happened to end up without a real headliner this year. Don't get me wrong the mazes look interesting, but none that really stand out as if you could only do one maze which would it be. Especially considering the price hike 😕

Dreamworld’s Ocean Parade Expansion 2023
MaxxTheMonster replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I have a 10 year old mini artist in my class who could... Don't be so quick to judge others abilities. -
My curiosity now though with Circursed and DCeased announced, we have 1 in house and 1 IP maze (2 of each including returning mazes). DCeased was the main maze teased in the original release, so do people think we will get another in house or IP maze? Both 2019 and 2021 had 3 IP and 2 in house so I would think they might continue this trend, but now that we have no clues until the next teaser, what could it be or what are you hoping for?

Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
MaxxTheMonster replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Wow... Splitting hairs over the fact it is in a precinct that is being separated into two other areas and it was just on the wrong side of the line... C'mon @Brad2912... You should know better 🤣 -

MaxxTheMonster replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
My first thought / concern was the fact you have kids and families getting wet in that area and then heading a matter of steps next door to the dodgems... I'm sure they will have it all figured out though -
Like there is anything to really compare to though 😕

Has anyone heard anything about the Leviathan quest that was supposed to be happening in August? Son was really looking forward to working towards it but nothing was ever released about it 😕 Seems they are not really making any use on them so far since release
-
So they do it for tik tok subs but not for Village Key holders? Seems right

About freaking time... First concept art was 7 or 8 years ago...

DCeased is a six-issue comic book miniseries published by DC Comics from May to October 2019. It was created by writer Tom Taylor and the artistic team including penciler Trevor Hairsine and inker Stefano Guadiano. The story takes place in an alternate Earth, where a corrupted version of the Anti-Life Equation has infected most of Earth's inhabitants with a zombie-like virus. Lois Lane acts as the series' narrator, detailing how the events took place over the course of a few weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCeased

In all honesty though, WB Kids needs more shaded seating for parents while kids are on the rides 😕

Viking’s Revenge Flume Ride Removal
MaxxTheMonster replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
There were some big plans for the area 5 - 6 years ago but they seem to have gone the way of Wild, Ironclad and Dusty... -
If you read the comment as a whole: i.e. Weekly attendance 20 years ago was between 4,000 and 6,000. I don't know the figures these days but given the parks are busier now than then, one could infer that means more people than that now? Fluctuated is the past tense of fluctuates which is the current tense. The more you know

Just redeemed our Spooky Night tickets and you better believe we paid $22 each for the Tenders and Milo cups

Working in Guest Services over Christmas period at one stage I know we had more than 14,000 in park. I know that Boxing Day (even 20 years ago) was getting more than 10,000 in park. Weekly attendance (outside holiday periods) fluctuated between 4,000 and 6,000. Absolutely agree with you Gazza. I have yet to see the mention of any live music or shows at this time however, which I really hope is present as I love standing around listening to / watching them. They were incorporated into a precinct or two in previous years but so far nothing mentioned

But at 50,000 over 9 nights you are looking at approx 5,500 a night... There are easily more than that number of people on most days. If that is the case then Fast Tracks are pretty pointless. They put through between 12 and 20 people each maze group (round to 15 for maths), over 5 hours and a group being admitted every, lets say 60 seconds to be generous, you are looking at a throughput per maze of around 4500 people per night. Remembering not everyone wants to do every maze, some don't do mazes at all. So it is pretty close for people to be able to do all mazes within the night without having a Fast Pass... Personally I have never seen the point in rides at FN as they can be done at any other attendance to the park, and certainly see no point paying to skip the queue on them. Keep in mind the figures I have used are not exact but based on previous years. They also send larger groups more frequently than I have used so the final throughput could be a fair bit higher (groups of 15 sent every 45 seconds would allow 6,000 people per maze per night)
