    Is this even a possiblity? I'd have thought they'd need both sides running to balance the weight of the system.

    Nooooo! There's still a hole in the ground that needs filling in!

    If one station is always filling the train leaving no space for the others, perhaps a solution is to leave one cart empty at the busy station. Disney do something similar with the Skyliners - they leave a few cabins empty to leave capacity for stations down the line.

    Wishful thinking, maybe something is in the pipeline now and they need to get moving on it's removal?

    Can't imagine how a company would go about trying to repo DC rivals if VRTP didn't pay their lease

    For me that remains a fond adult memory We went in 2019 just before it closed, I must have walked up to the entrance about 5 times before I built up the guts to go in, then when I was waiting in the queue the ride went down. We were sitting on the stairs and they started testing it again and I nearly walked out - it added so much to the 'terror' atmosphere. Still remember being anxious as hell but having that feeling of release after the first ride is over is indescribable now. I kind of miss that rush now that I'm not really anxious about rides anymore. After that you couldn't keep me off it. Until they closed it for good that is. As for JR, I'm resisting the urge to watch a POV!

    If I had to guess, I'd say ticket sales and staffing budgets were set for the event with the expectation that the rides wouldn't be opening til Boxing Day.

    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?

    No idea. Better than a poke in the eye though right?

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

    Looks like the same go-away-green the back of the building is being painted 🤷‍♂️ Loosely themed

    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.

    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
