I must admit I wasn't looking at it with more accomodation being available which would obviously change things as I can't see the day-to-day park crowds going for it and it's too far out to be a regular night attraction. I think there's a massive difference when comparing to bowling though because bowling is accessible to anyone of any age and ability. Unless you play golf already, golf (outside of mini golf) is basically inaccessible to everyone.

I'm a golf fanatic but I find this a really strange move for Movieworld. Can't see it being an attraction for families and there are many more interesting options for golf on the Gold Coast.

Would be a good idea if the relevant info was available well before that point, certainly at the gate and even better on the website. No idea if that is the case or not.

I understand that criticism and it is certainly not the most comfortable ride but personally I have never found it to be any worse than that. I hear more whinging from my family about the uncomfortableness of the Scooby Doo lapbar, but the only ride I find to hurt like hell is the Road Runner Rollercoaster after the sudden braking causes knees to crash into the front of the car.

Yep, agree 100%.

Concur with the sentiments expressed by many thus far. DW the stand out park for me, a multitude of different ride experiences and a good, full day of activity, as well as having a nice range of 'other' experiences; animals, Tiger show, Outback show etc..... Of the other parks I rate SW higher than MW because of the variety on offer and I am probably harder on MW because I usually find their shows to be quite mediocre. Water park wise, I see WnW as being a superior park, I must admit I look at WWW as being more of a nice add-on to DW rather than a park in its own right.

Bit rude for Village to flog the same pass for 99 to their subscribers, then deals.com.au for 89 the next week.

Deals.com.au are selling a VIP Pass with an unlimited entry into the three parks and Paradise Country until June for 89.95. 1488 sold to date.

Another reason to keep the monorail is it is the only (albeit less than ideal) link between the resort and public transport. A lot of tourists take advantage of the excellent GC public transport network but the bus stop is a long hike from the resort, and with small kids the best option is to jump on the monorail and then walk out the front gate to the bus stop.

I can't see it being bad for the existing parks. If they capture a large Chinese market there will be a river of tourists running right into the area the parks are in. No-one goes on holiday and only visits one place.

Clearly pretty serious if they have funded the creation of direct flights as well.

I guess it depends on whether or not it is a river or a water feature.

On the plus side, we can now officially measure how slow these morons are, although 10 years is a little less than i would have predicted I must admit.

I've mentioned before that I suspect the complaining about the river is generally done by 'city' dwellers. It always looks pretty typical to me, the only issue is the rubbish and that is just a reflection of ordinary people and hard for Dreamworld to manager.

I fly with all of them all the time, never had an issue beyond a short delay with Tiger.

I agree with you in theory but it is a quality issue for me. I generally find food in theme parks to fall in between fast food and pub standard in terms of quality, which makes it too expensive. I think the parks should take an 'if you build it they will come approach' and increase the quality of food and reduce the price. We saw a similar thing down here in Mexico this year at the MCG. Food and drink prices were high and quality low and crowds and spending was down despite low ticket entry prices. They dropped the prices and increased the quality and choice and crowds and sales have sky-rocketed as a result.

The items on the menu are not unreasonably priced if the quality is there to back them up, however that is a big 'if' in my experience.

Maybe you're right, probably depends on how 'removed' it is. I would have thought something that high running straight down the middle of the park would cause some issues but maybe not. I guess time will tell.

Really poor decision for mine as well. You wonder how long it will be SBNO now, would seem almost impossible to remove without totally closing the park.

I reckon there's enough recent evidence to suspect it might not be an issue anyway, Zanstabar, given the time and effort Dreamworld is putting into park appearance and upkeep lately.

Disagree, I think it is an awesome name and a great idea to use a pop culture icon in the theming. Dreamworld's hot streak continues.

Ahhhh, explains why the spas are so bloody difficult to get into. Looks a much better option than the little bacteria ponds they have now.

Yep, I've been to Dreamworld many, many times post chairlift and the first I knew about it was reading it on this forum.

I don't pretend to be connected with any park gossip from down here in Mexico so make of this what you will. My mother was talking to a friend of hers who lives on the GC and she said her tradie son is very happy at the moment because he has a job working on an old ride Dreamworld are getting going again and he gets to slip off into the park and have a free visit each day after work. Can't see how it could be anything else.

That's a brilliant idea.
