Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement
franky replied to Park Addict 93's topic in Theme Park Discussion
So it's a technical rehearsal too (A frame to the right of the yellow brick road). -
Having just watched the video myself it's either as you suggest or a time/cost thing. The chain link fence would have gone in a lot faster and possibly cheaper than the piece-by-piece fence around Jungle Rush. They've recently re-done the fence around the Flyer haven't they? Wouldn't be out of the question to see this updated in time if it doesn't feel right. DW have shown that they are willing to work toward getting the right fit and finish, even if not immediately. I really do hope this investment pays off; while I've enjoyed my more recent quieter visits to Dreamworld, I'm hoping this leads to greater attendance in the park to pay off the massive investment and then help fund the next big thing.

Motocoaster will definitely need to be on the retheme list, or have it's entrance moved after seeing where they're putting the entryway for Rivertown is now; you have to enter Rivertown to ride a Main Street attraction?

If you've owned them for 8 years you also got a payout / buyback after the sale during that period.- 73 replies

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
franky replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I had a quick thought that if they made 'we do the seatbelt' a general rule across the park then it might actually reduce confusion for guests. But then I remembered Green Lantern was a lap belt so that's probably not the reason. -
Has Coast Entertainment given up on Whitewater world?
franky replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
In 2019ish WWW was in my opinion was the more polished product of the two parks, but then DW had closed a bunch of stuff they've now they're working on the rebuild there. Fully6 is fairly new, even if two of the slides are closed- 73 replies

Kinda bummed. Was over in the NYC in Sept/Oct but just couldn't fit in the day trip down to the park, considering there were days the ride didn't open. We got some rides in on Xcelerator though while at Knotts, so I'm gonna call that breaking even. The park has confirmed that Zumanjaro is being removed as well, and whatever is coming is not going to be a reimagination, so everything you see is being removed apparently. This means DW's Giant Drop reclaims 2nd place for tallest operating drop tower!

Anyone else notice the go pro mounted on the train? Might have a POV before too long. Looks pretty fast too considering it's empty.

VR Locals One Pass - price rise coming 11/11/24
franky replied to westical's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I haven't been a DW passholder since 2022 but I got an $99 pass offer email within the past fortnight. It was for a locals pass though; I didn't have locals pass and I'm not a local, so I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion... $99 bucks is a steal though! -
King Claw - Larger Replacement Intamin Gyro Swing for Dreamworld
franky replied to Tricoart's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yes, but there's no sense in plussing the parks offerings if your intention is to do a Sun Way and sell the land for value only. Surely if this is the ultimate goal they're trying to woo another operator into continuing operations. -
Genuinely curious how the capacity increase will work - if they're removing a brake does this mean one less brake zone? Good to see the magnetic brake conversion too. If I wasn't prepared I swear I came off Scooby with a bruised spleen 😆
