    The Leviathan backwards seat is now free

    For reference, this was the former logo I think the new one is quite the downgrade and that marketing image is very messy.

    6 weeks* No we don’t, but surely if you’re spending $100 million on a ‘world class’ land you’d expect everything to be built with quality?

    Ain't going to happen! To my knowledge they are also part of the reason why Wizard of Oz turned out the way it did. The difference is, DW had an internal team with the knowledge and skills to essentially take over the project to get it across the line. For example, Jane's was completely done in-house (Pico weren't involved in that part of the project in any way). Nearly all of King Claw has been done in-house All of that stuff is non-compliant theming and won't ever be used. All of the black mesh fencing in Rivertown was never meant to be there... it was all meant to be themed fencing.

    @Spotty it is a HUSS

    Interestingly they have been some changes with when rides are closed and while some rides still have maintenance lasting a couple months, the majority of them are much shorter. Maybe this is the beginning of a shift in how the park is operated, because if so, it’s great to see (but a shame it’s taken this long)

    With the changes with the logo, do we think the park will invest in changing all of these… or is the change minimal enough when it’s bronze plated that they won’t bother

    The same applies to Carnivale and if im remembering correctly that event didnt sell out this year. Happy Halloween at DW is included in the pass and they seem to be improving that event!

    The park has also opened Kansas Twister during the event

    Adventure Park Geelong have announced today that two new proslide freefall drop slides will be opening with the park on Nov 22. They have a height of 25m, are 105m long and speeds of 35km/h.

    Maybe don’t look at it as them leaning into nostalgia, but more that it’s forming part of King Claw’s story line. The larger more dominant creature (King Claw) has attacked the smaller creature (The Claw) and has left some of its remains amongst the carnage of the dock.

    Like they’ve done in Jane’s?

    Agreed! A lot of schools do end of year trips to the theme parks too, missing out on that potential market. They’d make less money and no one will pay to go to quarter of the park. In my wind it’s either open the whole thing or dont, there’s no other option. I’d speak with park management about the potential of opening WWW full time again (or at least more than it currently is) and they aren’t against the idea, but when you may out all of the info (demand, costs, etc) it hasn’t made sense from a business perspective to have it open more than it is. My initial reaction to this was the park needs investment to make the park more appealing so that more people will won’t to go. I understand closing for the winter, but not opening more regularly (ie opening full time from late November) still seems like a strange choice.

    Hopefully this time the refurb is properly done so there isn’t a weird mix between Italian streets and Aussie country town

    New ad promoting the park with its new logo: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/169PdLtCXq/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    They’re all no good either. Everything being stored in that area won’t be used and will end up in landfill, or be repurposed in some other way. I’d say that Rivertown is pretty much complete, but it’s a forever evolving land and I don’t think the park will ever just be done.

    @Sammus77 did you notice what the wait time was for Dreamworld Flyer? That ride has become the most popular in the park and with the largest capacity per cycle in the country it gets through crowds real quick. It does take a while to load though with so many seats to fill and check.

    Big Brother is airing from November 9.
  20. themagician
    That’s great to hear and I don’t think it has been like that in almost a decade. How did that make the park feel and what were the wait times like?
  21. themagician
    That’s some nice looking themed fencing!
  22. themagician
    Decent wait times for most of the rides and mazes for the start of the event
  23. themagician
    It’s a good model, why not just replace the old with the new if it’s popular. I’d love to see Sea World get one again!
  24. themagician
    I don’t see this as anything to worry about because a lot of coasters that are closed for extended periods of time get listed as SBNO. Scooby has also been listed as SBNO the whole times it’s been closed.

    But what if you don’t have a pocket? And for the sack of argument you’re either a single rider or no one in party has pockets either!
