  1. WB Showcase is reopening November 1st Details were revealed on a Movieworld fan club page on Facebook
  2. After near 9+ months of SBNO This still continues to rot the streets of Surfers Paradise
  3. Last night we were able to get all the mazes done with a thirty minute downtime to get food and drinks with no fast track pass to the mazes- We arrived at the park at 3:30pm to start lining up at the turnstiles and were essentially one of the first groups to get IT done • To anyone going to Fright Nights tonight or within next few weeks Best order to get them done are by: IT Zombieland Doll Haus Leatherface (if everything goes to plan, you should be finishing LF around 8ish at this time) then House of Kain We then tried to get Scooby done after Kain but they shut the queue off just as we approached the ride so we got one ride on Batwing and then watched the closing ceremony • As to the comments about the lack of the characters around the precincts and mazes this year I’ve seen on here, I think it was a safe bet when you are adding another maze to your line up, there will be definitely cutbacks to the amount of the characters around the park or in the maze, this all seems to be a shock to everyone on here with this, but was very well expected from the get go when five mazes were announced.
  4. From my experience tonight - note as this is the first night, this will change throughout the event but as it stands imo.. 1) IT - Obviously where the money went to this year and it shows.. definitely the most advanced maze they have done, Feels like you are in the films 2) Zombieland - just outbeaten by IT - I walked in with low expectations with this one but was surprised with what they had to work with but definitely the shortest maze there - had perfect runs each time in this one 3) Doll Haus - Put my expectations a little high with this one as I was impressed with Kain last year and was expecting to be just as great as HOK - It is great, but you really have no clue what’s going on in the maze as it’s all thrown in your face, the action, queue should have a backstory posted so then it could flow with everyone 4) HOK - I wish this was higher on the list as it was my favourite maze last year, lacks the charm I feel that the maze had last year. I was surprised with how much with the original maze was kept and not altered from the Show Stage to the sheds 5) Leatherface - You are not missing much if you skip this one, it’s the same concept that has been done in previous years and but adds nothing new to it
  5. Checking into Ricks Market Place right now as I speak This is what the place has to offer 😊
  6. They have also done the other side of Intencity building
  7. It will just be General Mainteance Not long enough timeframe if they were to update it
  8. I had a mate who was down at the park today send me these Only two days left folks! 🤙🏻
  9. Concrete has been poured finally for the new tower Fingers crossed to having these done by at the end of the year 🤞🏻
  10. Popped into WWW to check on repaints and Fully Six The pictures uploaded of the slide repaints on here do not do any justice, they are looking incredibly fresh and makes the park feel new again Anyways, few pictures of BRO which I really hope they keep the colour scheme of that they have below I couldn’t express my disappointment though that the Dreamworld Express wasn’t open at WWW, massive deal breaker for me
  11. I checked into Dreamworld today and gave The Monster a go I must say I was really surprised with how fun I had with this, it’s definitely not just for the kids, I saw a lot of parents/adults getting a kick out of it and I found it took a lot of energy out of you if you try to speed run the course. Do give this a try if you are heading into the park for the next two weeks, especially worth it if you are a Passholder as you get free admission, or if you are popping into the Happy Halloween events, which I will certainly be attending Anyways enjoy some unedited photos on my end 😊
  12. For those interested by Tom and Jerry’s appearance at MW (WBW design for those interested) They are coming out at the following times 11:00am, 11:50-12ish, 12.50, 1.35 and 2.25pm and will be making an appearance in the parade as well Anyways, The Coffee Vault!
  13. And speaking of Splash Pad.. The main structure has been removed leaving this
  14. I had a mate who was down at the park today send me this 🤡
  15. I believe they are waiting on more promo shots to be done that they will place at that spot, they originally had pictures advertising pasta and pizza. I haven’t been inside and ate yet, if you been into Ricks since October of last year, it’s exactly the same as that but I think they have cut down on the amount of pizzas available
  16. Yeah unfortunately I believe that time is up with Show Stage hosting mazes I believe they could be using some of it for Grave Death Experience though, but don’t quote me on that as it’s lisiting is slightly off the building on the map like all the other mazes
  17. Thank you for the constant updates sir All of the slides are looking fantastic and greater than ever Hydrocoaster and RIP are looking the most fresh and loving their colour scheme I look forward to BRO, Temple and Rippers repaint
  18. I’m looking forward to checking out ‘My Movie 74’ on YouTube It better be worth the rental price I paid for
  19. Maze locations have been revealed on FN website IT - Dodgems Zombieland & Doll Haus - Jigsaw and Halloween Shed House of Kain and Leatherface - FDTD Shed Not sure how to feel about them doing two mazes in the same shed again, but I sincerely hope either Kain or Leatherface are not being scaled back this year as it is the first time they have done two mazes in that shed
  20. Rick’s Cafe has under gone minor renovations recently The outlet is now referred to as Rick’s Market Place with the emphasis of the outlet being back on international cuisine many years ago
  21. Dodgems is where it’s been talked about atm If they were to put it in the other sheds, it would just make the whole area crowded/clustered so it makes sense to have this one tucked away from the others
  22. I assume it will be just like the River Rapids queue at WNW Mini queue at the top of the tower
  23. I wanted to take the time to compile all my thoughts from my first few rides on Sky Voyager on Saturday. For those who don't know, I have riden Soarin at DCA and Epcot and they are both fantastic rides. (I haven't riden any other Flying Theatre Attractions) So I was very keen many years ago, that there were talks that Australia was going to get it's very first Flying Theatre attraction. December 2017 was when the dream (no pun intended) came true and we would have our very own Flying Theatre come to our very own shores but mainly in particular Dreamworld. Hearing the news on Friday morning, that after a whooping nine months of extra waiting after it's supposed 'ambitious' opening in December 2019. I quickly jumped online and renewed my Dreamword pass, which I was awaiting to renew when the attraction would open. The next day I arrived at Dreamworld at 9am, as I was unaware of what crowds I could be expecting on the day and would hope not to be waiting that long for the ride. I was the first person to ride the attraction/first cycle on the day and got the top row - gondola 4. (Great to see @Slickdoing his stuff and having a chat with him afterwards btw) Everyone on here that has posted an review, has covered pretty much of what leads up to the ride, and I, share the same opinions that I've seen online, *pre-show bad, pre safety video not informativ blah blah* I knew what I was going to expect from SV, What I had in my mind prior to riding was SV is still a going to be a great ride experience as Cutting Edge and Brogent would deliever the goods, but defs not on the same level as Soarin. If you go in with those expectations, you will get a kick out of it, which is exactly what I got. The first ride I had on SV, I got distracted with I thought it was at the time, a tear in the bottom right screen (turns out it was just an emergency exit light shinning through) so I didn't get the best first ride experience. The 2nd ride was way much better. I was on ground floor - gondola 2. This is definitely my favourite attraction that is there to offer at Dreamworld at the moment till ol Blue Fire arrives next year. Like others, I won't spoil the ride experience because it definitely requires you to check it out in person, because words can't describe how great these attractions like SV is. While SV is a very great ride, everything leading upto sitting down in your gondola is agruably what puts me off from coming back and back to do this and I hope like everyone else is feeling, it gets addressed in the future. SV has made me very optimistic for Dreamworld's future for the next few years, with Mack Coaster and the WWW slides coming within the next months/late next year, the future is looking indeed bright. DW's announcements last Friday alongside this residing positivitly with consumers is nothing but a win for the industry. It is a shame it had to take three years after the events after 2016 for the park to get something major but nonetheless it is bloody worth it, just wish it came earlier.
