I’m pretty sure the park has had that sort of attraction in the past (late 90s). I believe it was called Creature Cruise and was a very similar type of ride to Jungle Cruise, but I don’t think it had the comedy aspect like Disney’s version. I also don’t think it was on the main river, but I smaller river in the area that Dreamland is today.

KQ - no idea on this one TOT - Tower of Terror RT - Rivertown MM - Murrissippi Motors KBDL - Kenny Belinda’s Dreamland OP - Ocean Parade RH - Rocky Hollow

Not sure how long this has been effect, but Dreamworld have made some adjustments to their annuals passes. They now have two offerings being either just a Dreamworld Annual Pass which is now $149, or an 'All Worlds Annual Pass', which includes all the additional perks for just $20 more. For only $20 more the All Worlds pass is very good value

Exactly this. If they’re going to build a dark ride they should be doing it in either rocky hollow or ocean parade. Or even better, use the big shed that was formerly laser skirmish for it.

Them saying it’s permanently closing is them saying it’s being removed. If it was being refurbished, they would’ve said that. Motocoaster is gone for good!

The day is finally here! Post from Dreamworld: Motocoaster is revving up for its farewell at Dreamworld, with the iconic thrill ride set to close on Monday 2 February 2026. Since 2007, Motocoaster has delivered high-energy fun for nearly two decades, including its legendary years as the Mick Doohan Motocoaster 🏍️ Whether you’ve ridden it a hundred times or you’re yet to jump on, now’s the moment to buckle up, soak up the nostalgia and take a victory lap (or two) before Motocoaster takes the chequered flag. Your last chance to ride: Sunday 1 February 2026.

You do know that boats can be manoeuvred on land via trailers and trucks? An existing paddle boat could be modified to connect to a track I highly doubt this. It is much easier to build boats on land than in the water. The river has also become an active ecosystem in recent years and I can't see them wanting to significantly disturb that by building a boat on the water. I'm no boat expert, but looking at photos to compare them both, I'd argue they are of similar scale?

Saw a news report earlier that said that since opening they’ve averaged 10,000 riders per week.

I feel that this is them testing the waters to see if it’s worthwhile for them to offer it all the time. Of course from a customer perspective it is, but maybe they’re wanting to trial it from a business perspective. I know there were a few changes in upper management last year and this may be the start of more changes to come.

The original deal with Nickelodeon i believe started in 2011 when they introduced the parade at the lake and a Dora stage show, the land then opened in September 2015. We don’t usually see licensing deals last much more than a decade in Australia, so will be interesting to see how much longer it lasts.

Sea World have quietly removed the TMNT characters from the park, with the only reference now being ‘Donatello's Ninja Flyers’. No shows, no character appearances, no photo ops. I contacted the park and they confirmed that due contracting an internal review, TMNT has been removed from the park. Does this mean the cost to have TMNT went up?

They just need lasers. Thats it! Thats what the disco room used to be (with some vertical wall led lighting), but if they just add a heap of lasers that’ll be enough.

A One Shot would certainly be worth it for Wild West Falls Remember when it used to be one of the highest capacity rides in the park…. good times!

Village has changed their Fast Track system again for the Summer holidays. Movie World is now $245pp and only includes use for up to 6 rides. Sea World is $129 and includes one use on every ride. Wet n Wild is $139 and is for a half day (either 10:30 to 1:30 or 1:30 to 4:30) and provides unlimited use on all available attractions during your allocated time period.
