Happy Halloween 2021
A well planned event generally doesn't have heaps of complaints all over social media. A well run event would be full of praise. This event was not full of praise. You have an opinion but are wrong here regardless of your view.

Stand up coasters.
I rode Riddlers revenge at MM and i enjoyed it. Was a different feeling. Front row makes the ride way way better than anywhere else though. It heightens the effect of standing up.

Get in with a too-good-to-be-true $50 annual pass to Dreamworld before Steel Taipan opens
These are for Gold Coast locals not Brisbane. Two different cities with different councils and different offers.

Are we starting to see the decline of VRTP?
I would say this is the main reason.
-
VRTP = sold?
yeah they are sold. This sale has been on the cards for about 4 months or so.

What should dreamworld do to the murrisipi swamp river
Look man, Ive been here since 2009. I have worked in the theme park industry for years here and over seas. A rep count and post count means someone spends a lot of time on the internet. I just want a source. Having worked for Ardent for many years its the first I ever heard the river was "protected" area. I just want to see a source. I am not doubting someones knowledge but I want to see some proof and the point of a forum is to chat about stuff. Your rep count means nothing to me sorry and for someone who seem to be such a regular on a forum you seem to have no idea how they work. If you dont have an answer to my question dont waste my time trying to put me down and act like some online forum legend no ones ever heard of.

Travel tips? Six Flags Magic Mountain
Some non ride advice I can offer is to be aware of your belongings. The park has a high rate of theft and does have some issues with teens that hang out there. They have their own police station believe it or not. Its not unsafe but just be sure to be aware of your self and belongings a bit more than you might be used to in Aussie parks. Also it can get cool there even on a hot day. I left LA on a hot sunny day and got there and froze my butt off and had to buy a jumper in the park. You can street view walk the whole park on google as well https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Six+Flags+Magic+Mountain/@34.4235468,-118.5960072,1667m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c280a5bffa65c5:0x8f03c1443c734740!8m2!3d34.4253305!4d-118.5972191

Movie World - The Next Few Years
The need to put some money into the kids area. It used to be a such a great part of the park and its really old and average now. It never recovered from the looney tunes river ride being taken away.

Trip Report: La Ronde
The place is rundown but its still better than any park we have here in Australia. The park closes for a good chunk of the year due to the heavy snowfall Montreal gets. If they spent a bit more on cleaning it up it would be fine. Its a good size park with 40 odd attractions. Gardens and those little things just arent something they worry so much about for a park that sits closed under snow so many months of the year

What's gone wrong with SkyVoyager?
At this point its going to be cheaper and easier to make Skypoint one of the new "big rides" and create a park cue that leads to a bus that takes you to skypoint and back. Ardent would probably try this now I think about
-
Dreamworld passes - Cheaper at the park.
I just cant do Dreamworld now. Its depressing walking around what used to be a good park.

Sea World to reveal $50m spend
This coaster is going to look awesome across the broadwater from southport/labrador. Just as I was thinking the Gold Coast theme park industry was dead this happens. I am beyond excited for this.

New Dreamworld CEO: Ardent Leisure takes a gamble with divestment expert with no theme park experience
The lack of competition would be the biggest worry. Village would have no reason to invest in new attractions and as you said can charge what they like. Also besides what other people have stated here, Dreamworld make alot of money from overseas. They have a whole division that work just with the Asian market to bring in tour groups and market to Asia in general. Dreamworld do alot of tour groups from China and its a big part of the business.

No reopening dates for BuzzSaw, Hot Wheels Side Winder and Tower of terror
the best thing is their reply this week on trip advisor to someone complaining nothings open. Read this bit through your mind again.. "This maintenance is vital to keep rides safe and operational." That's the problem, half the rides aren't operational........ Its school holidays and nothings open!!!!

WhiteWater World Needs Major Refurb

-
Gold Coast show 2018

Dreamworld's Peter Brock Experience closed
wow an events space. Brilliant. Cant wait never have a reason to go their unless my company books a function there. They arent even trying with that post. Best to have just said Brock was finishing up and at least lead people on about what it might become. Now we know its an empty room that converts for events. haha Take away tower or terror for a sexy new events space. Take away wipeout for a crazy new events space. Make the lego store a day care. Seriously though, whats next? Make the cinema a low cost half arsed version of Disneys Soar'n... Oh wait ;)..
