  1. Thanks for sharing more photos. I do like that they’ve updated it, but I still think it needed to be at least 20% larger so it proportionally felt right
  2. Got a little ahead of myself and misread this part, but I’m sure most of us could agree that for them to say a development has been axed, this is the first one that comes to mind.
  3. It has been confirmed overnight in an article released by GCB that the hotel project has been axed
  4. Could just be the photos we’ve seen of it and it may look better in person, but for me something feels off. The colours of the 2D logo are a lot more muted, while the 3D feels too glossy and maybe it’s not big enough. I think the framing we’re seeing is just the frame from the old logo. Maybe because we’ve had the previous logo for several decades and because it’s new it feels jarring. I’m glad the park have put in the effort to update the logo, but I don’t love it yet.
  5. Has anyone been to the park since it’s reopening under new management? How does the feel look and feel? Are the operations improved? Does it feel like a park worth visiting now?
  6. But only if the park looks after it and it feels like an area you’re allowed to be in.
  7. I was referencing Superman, it opened in 2005! I don’t think they necessarily need to do a new indoor section. I personally think they just need to the queue/loading refurb they announced a few years ago and either do a major refurb to the launch system to either retain the hydraulic or the more likely option replace it was a more reliable launch system.
  8. What about spending that on a 21 year old coaster? No, but it will keep one of the parks most important coasters running for another few decades. And if it goes, nothing is replacing it.
  9. If that’s the case, that’ll be a downgrade from Motocoaster as I believe it was 110cm for the side cars.
  10. People don’t even visit the park during the summer if it’s raining or slightly cooler! They’ve got no chance of getting guests during the winter. Gumbuya World is open all year round and just closes its water park between April and October. The dry park is generally pretty quiet during winter too (unless the suns out)
  11. Two years later and construction has finally started. It’s located to the right of the Whale Watching building at the front of the park and is replacing what I believe was an old admin building https://seaworldfoundation.com.au/wildlife-hospital
  12. Heads up Dreamworld, Tailspin desperately needs a new sign
  13. The ride is closed for a couple of weeks. Wonder if this is general maintenance and they are waiting on a part, or if it’s temple related.
  14. Funfields have been teasing this on their socials for a few months, but they have officially announced that their Kraken Racer is being upgraded to become Kraken Unleashed, with the slide becoming 75m longer. Making it the longest slide racer in the country. Based on the images, it appears that the only part being kept is the final hill and splashdown, with the rest of the slide being brand new and aligning with the elements most modern racers get. The slide will be 235m long, 22m tall and is opening this Summer.
  15. Damn it Village, I thought you had just made a good decision. Don’t get my hopes up like that!
  16. If you have a ticket to the event you can enter the park from 2pm!
  17. What a confusing way to represent this info. They definitely need to find a different way to do it, like with a calendar! Funfields does it very well https://www.funfields.com.au/open-dates-times/ Which means at this stage, they aren’t extending their hours for Easter, which is a terrible decision.
  18. Crowd levels don’t seem to be pretty low this year based on these wait times
  19. It’s been reposted and this time only has a bit of AI at the end https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd8bbumySOf/?stkn=cXl6bml5eGl1MWdt
  20. Exactly what I think about most GCB articles
  21. The DW Express is closed until next weekend, could this be related to LMM construction?
