Will the new Wonderland be Australia's largest theme park like the original one was? If it is Dreamworld would need to change their billboard!
-
Which is pointless since people just climb over the gate. If they really want people to go through the food and games area they need a taller gate.
-
It's been a long time since the train closed so it's possible that those gates were only there for service vehicles and guests went through the retail plaza. But back the you could ride the train over to the Corkscrew, now the train is gone the gate should be removed to allow easier access between rides.

I found this old ad for Dreamwold from 1992. Back then they had clean water for all of there water attractions.

I noticed the map of Sea World on Google Maps taken in the days of Bermuda Triangle and maybe when the train was operating shows that there were 2 gates at the crossing and 1 has been removed... Image was taken at the time when Jet Rescue was under construction and Sea Viper was the Corkscrew I private messaged Sea World, posted the image twice on their page and also on the Theme Parks.com facebook page and had no response. I guess they can't come up with a reason why the gate is still there. Everyone who is sick of that gate needs to keep bugging and teasing Sea World until they finally listen and remove it. Anyone visiting the park fell free to jump it. It no longer has a purpose which was to close the path as the train came through. When the train was operating the gates were only closed when the train was crossing.

I was at Sea World alone last Monday. The line to get in was huge and I got confused to what line I needed to be in. The first ting I did when I got inside was ride the Skyway to get some shots of the Storm. They were testing the Skyway letting them go empty about 3 or 4 times before boarding (this was after 10). I was in a gondolier alone. I rode Strom twice and then the Sea Viper. Got annoyed by long lines to hire a locker at Jet Rescue so I left at around 12 and headed off to Movie World. Movie World was bad that afternoon. I was in line for Green Lantin and they closed all outside rides due to a few clouds.(They thought there was a Storm coming but it ended up to be just a bit of rain).
-
I put the pic on Sea Worlds Facebook page again maybe they will respond this time. Everyone should photograph the gate on your next visit and post it to there Facebook page and maybe then they will listen. I'm so sick of that annoying gate!!!
-
They do sell the tshirts during the day. You can even see the Christmas Ice Age movie in the Roxy Theater during the day.

If you could give any ride a retheme/renovation...

Vinkings is very short now and there is room under the Storm Coaster. They would need to add some plants and a tunnel, maybe add a short drop so it doesn't become a journey through coaster pillers. Remember it used to go throgh the volcano. Or they could just wind the track around the Storm Coaster to create Coaster Pillers:The Ride! They need to rename it The Leg Crusher. Seriously that is the worst coaster I've ever been on. I wish Dreamworld left the Vintage Cars alone. They were perfect where they were. It's the worst 5hing Dreamworld has done. -
No need for a bridge no trains go through that area. Just rip up the track or at least open the gate.
-
I jump it but it gets annoying having to keep climbing over it. Also older people can't climb over it.
-
There is no water near Jet Rescue they are filling it in. They should revove the train track on that bridge though since you can get a good view of Jet Rescue. I don't know why they even have the train still. They should sell it to make money for the path repair.

Carols By Candlelight from Sunday Night. It was in the Western Stage due to rain that afternoon. (they closed all outside rides due to a storm warning but there was just a bit of rain) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PLN3wuacqM I'm posting the parade and lighting of the lights on my main channel right now as well as some Storm Coaster videos.
-
I put the photo on Sea World's facebook page but they didn't respond. (I think they are trying to pretend it's not there). They even have the train stored below the Sea Viper. (If you sit on the right hand side look down just before the train enters the station). I rode the Skyway to get to the Storm but had to climb the fence to get to Sea Viper. Didn't ride Jet Rescue locker hire lines were too long (another issue that need fixing). Not a good spot for a ride but the gate needs to be opened to make it way easier top navigate through the park. Sell the train to pay for the path repair.
-
Sea World REALLY need to do something about this. Some people may have trouble finding the way to the Storm!
-
Went on the Storm for the first time today and I do think that Bermuda was better. The ride was shorter than I thought. I went on it 2 times in a row it's a good ride but Superman Escape is still the best Gold Coast rollercoaster. With loose items you only need to hire a locker for bags. You are allowed to have things in your pocket but be warned that you WILL get wet! You can get even more wet at the viewing platform at the end of the ride.

What will be the next attraction to open at the GC parks?
Gary86 replied to Brad2912's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Dreamworld's old Blue Lagoon area is perfect for a woodie. It would look great behind the log ride. -

I found this video of Sea World in 1989! Not my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc452Ska2bQ

I wouldn't develop the middle island. It's a good place for a Bushranger show if they ever got the Captain Sturt running again. There is plenty of room for a wooden coaster in Blue Lagoon (see pictures). A woody in that area will fit in with Gold Rush Country and Rocky Hollow. It would look great behind the Log Ride.

Gary86 replied to Zanstabar's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Vikings Revenge could do with a retheme / expansion. Dreamworld have quite a few rides that need rethemeing such as the Vintage Cars (way too cheap and bland compered to how they used to be, they should have left them alone). Thunder River Rapids had a dinosaur that doesn't belong, Log Ride. As for Cyclone Dreamworld should just build another better rollercoaster and tear it down to redevelop White Water World.
