That sounds very much like an arguement FOR a change, when you consider Mick Doohan's Shittycoaster and Cyclone, neither of which have feasible and viable theming. Buzzsaw does, as does Tower Of Terror 2, but you've got at least 2 rides that are clearly sub-standard. Also I'd want redevelopment of Dreamworld, a major overhaul, possibly with assistance from the QLD government, not just the same old park rebranded and with exactly the same layout. I'm talking totally closing, redeveloping it and reopening it after a major facelift and redesign. Some rides and areas staying, but most of it redone compleatly. That has happened to many other tired-old-slowing parks(and also other entertainment based places, Melbournes' Showgrounds for instance) before in the past, both in our country and overseas, with varying results. Not exactly out of the question.

Lol, I enjoyed that post. Deserves full quoting! What's dishonest about signing your own name over again? Usually I just do it again if I come across the petition again later on. I wouldn't "rig" it and sign under some bullshit name at all. Nothing dishonest about that, unless it's dishonest to exploit the assumed weakness of the person who the petition is addressed to, which it obviously isn't(it's called being ruthless... Different to dishonesty). You want to get shit done(especially with councils and governments) you have to push as hard as possible. Usually if discovered, they will have the commonsense to assume it was done out of passion for the cause in the petition. It would only be dishonest if you didn't sign your own name, which I have never done.

Except for the fact that most people reading it will not, from my experience, read exactly who signed it and how many times, but instead will count how many signatures(and pages) there were! People are lazy! Ergo it's more likely to help the cause rather than devalue it. If it is discovered, it can still help anyway as if several people do it, it shows high level of individual passion. Physical petitions of cause. Web petitions are harder to sign more than once. It's not for everyone I guess.

I would sign it 10 times if it was pertition to partner, fully license(the whole park) or just plain sell it all to DreamWorks Animation....

Nines' deal is with the production company, who are using Dreamworld as their current studio. Although it probably does mean Dreamworld will be used for the next 2 years and probably has a deal with Southern Star, If DreamWorld went down, they'd most likely find another studio. Or else Nine would sue Southern Star, or cut their losses and cancel the show(if ratings dropped).

I think it is a great idea you're putting forward. Besides I think most of the extra cost was probably construction costs over in Perth.

WBMW is kicking it's ass. It needs a turnaround.

I agree with you spotty.

I'm fed up with Ardent. And ironically my last trip to Dreamworld was pretty good(all rides were on, everything was fine). But I'm sick of the Park not getting the cash it needs to be totally overhauled.... To at least have a plan to do something to Eureka(maybe within a few years) a plan for a wooden coaster(or any fair coaster that's not a damn motocoaster), and a plan to restore rides like Wipeout to their original "splendor"(why not put the pool of water back in!), It's running like an early 90s Car that's barely able to get the engine started, because the owners are too stingy to go to the mechanic and get everything fixed, or upgrade to a newer car. I hope they sell it to someone who will give it a good ole restoration and buy new parts(rides) for it!

Yes that's true, in light of that, would it be a good purchase for DreamWorks? Hostile takeover/buyout? Partnership? Does DreamWorks have a pre-existing Theme Park division? Edit: Yep, appears so... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1576251/DreamWorks-to-build-theme-park-in-Dubai.html Why don't they offer Dreamworld a lifeline and get fully involved? Good idea to me. Perhaps it could rebranded to be in small print "DreamWorks presents" and in large print "DreamWorld"....

Can Dreamworks just buy it? They're already licensing their properties to it... Why not just buy it? Sink some cash into redeveloping it and maybe become a partner with Ardent, if that would help DW be interested in getting into it... But I'd rather Ardent just sold it all to them. Dreamworld the name can obviously stay(perfect for a fully DreamWorks themed park anyway) as can most of the rides/areas(with upgrades, some new rides and re-themeing of cause)... But they can rework it as Dream(works)world. And give it a DreamWorks-style logo. Have Shrek and Po become the mascots. Would very much be in line with the founders original vision of a smaller Aussie Disneyland.

I know, but $12 million smackers has got to include at least some! Lol!

$12 million I think it's safe to say probably includes the Perth construction costs, and theming(no doubt there will be some on this ride, more than the usual Adventure World rides anyway). It costs more to build stuff in Australia than most other countries.

Yep! In particular the brick wall at the back. Certainly given away as a low to the ground coaster... And we've already got two motocoasters. Also the budget too. But ironically I picked up on the "Mi1" codename the most.... A "millitary/espionage" themed coaster (currently) called The Secret.... Fits a Eurofighter like a glove! Was I the only person here who saw Skyfall? That was an obvious giveaway in hindsight.

Myself I picked it from the layout alone.... Obviously one. And "Mi1" obviously a reference to Mi5(real) and Mi6(James Bond). No need to apologize. I accept your enthusiasm as enough. most likely Gerstlauer as others have also claimed.

That's good enough. Obviously I was not saying that.

I didn't say that. As in 'It's on Facebook, so I'm clearly not the only person who believes it.' Where's my apology for that clear misquote please? Lucky you are on the internet as in person, obviously you would be forced to. The internet is a cowards paradise. Jobe, I agree with you here, but I say AlexB isn't exactly helping out right now.

There seems to be multiple minor trolls on this site at the moment, like that guy who puts everyone on ignore if they dare be rude to him... You know who im talking about! lol.

I agree with this.

Distracted for a moment. Seems finished for now anyway, I hope.

I will also, until the track arrives.

I was just told on facebook by someone living in Perth it is indeed a Eurofighter apparently similar to "Typhoon"(Gerstlaurer)... So I'm not the only one! Not what I said(Not certain of exact model myself, so I won't claim it) but that is what he has claimed. Dude is in the "comments by other users" section.

Nope. I accept the statement, but I do not accept it's contents as truly 100% valid. Fact is I am not the only one who believes it this time.

nope. I suspect it was a sideshow.

Ok I accept that, however when it does turn out to be true I expect you to apologize.
