The first helicopter took off from the new helipad today

A banner has been installed (TPSN photo)

That’ll be awesome and the perfect kind of ride for DW. I do hope it is themed to gold rush and it uses that land that had river rapids. Bring it on

Why rule out that show stage though? Last year House of Kain was removed and Aquaman was installed all within 6 weeks, so it is possible for them to do that again. But I definitely would love to see them using the studios again and to really spread out the crowds too

I wouldn’t say they should just remove a ride because it’s a little rough though. AA is very rough and has been for most of its life, but that’s still going

@Flynn_Smith that’s exactly what I was referring too. Or some were just so dark, you really couldn’t appreciate the detail

Great to see the park once again bringing an original maze to the event. House of Kain was a stand out last year (even though it had some lighting issues)

They just need something new and do some refurbishments throughout the park. A new precinct, or expansion of H20 Zone would be good. Replace Mach 5 with a couple new slides and maybe even something to replace WnW Buggy. All of the food and retail is at the front of the park, so open some new ones at the back and provide a more inviting seating spaces. They are mostly just tents, add some character to the area. Resurface some areas and definitely fix the toilets/changing rooms. Calypso Beach is my favourite part of the park. It's got some character, theme and feels like you are some where else. Take the ideas and design style and spread it through the park.

@Adventures With JWorld Safety concerns in regards to visitors or the performer? I thought the RR and Coyote appearance/show was really good and always got a large crowd Shame they don’t bring on the Looney Tunes characters out during the parade. I know it comes down to cost cutting, but particularly during the holiday/busy periods, I think they definitely should

Continuing to repaint

DW might have only just submitted the paperwork because they spent this time completing the changes necessary or gathering the correct information, to ensure they didn’t have to continuously keep going back and correcting anything

I personally would remove anything left of Junior Driving School, but also including the Splash Zone and add 3 or four new flat rides to that area. Things that are more modern and maybe some new rides not yet seen on the coast. While Junior Driving School works, what a waste of space. We have this massive show building and they just installed a ride that already exists in that area. They should’ve kept it as a dark ride (not necessarily water based), but something really awesome could’ve gone in. The Ratatouille ride cost $270 million, so I’m not expecting something to that scale. But I’m sure they could implement that ride system in some how. Also, a side question. Lately, has anyone seen Lola Bunny, Taz, Road Runner, the Coyote at Movie World. Even Marvin the Martin, Foghorn, Porky, Sam and Pepe Le Pew, which we’re never common, but where have they gone. They all used to be common characters, especially Lola, but I haven’t seen any of them at the park in over a year now? It’s mostly super hero appearances now (which I don’t have an issue with because the kids love them), but it would be great to see some more of the classic looney tunes characters more often since they are such a big part of the park

If they are getting Tom and Jerry in the park, a new ride based off them would be good If MW wanted to go all out, a ride like Ratatouille in Paris, but based around Tom and Jerry would be awesome

WWF now has a reopening date

Here I was thinking they were going to refurbish the right side of Gotham Hall, but it doesn’t seem like they will be. Personally I think they should have continue the look because now it looks out of place

That’s because they’ve been moved. They are now in the bushes to the right of the helicopter booth (just before you cross the bridge)

But I suppose if they are going to have another maze and new precincts, pricing is going to go up A teaser trailer has also been added to the website, the hints are: 1 will play with limbs and parts (house of kain) 2 will wear your skin as art (leather face) 3 will in inflict eternal pain - ??? 4’s appetite is brains - zombie based (maybe Zombieland 2) 5 is where evil lies and no one really dies - possibly IT

Here are this years precincts

This shelter has been installed at the entrance to the glass bottom boat tour at SW

The Kraken and gates have now been removed and all dolphins have been relocated from the lagoon under construction is complete And the whale shark has been removed too

@AlexB @Skeeta for some reason I was thinking some of those international versions weren’t by Intamin 🤔🤪

Different manufacturer?

Dreamworlds response in regards to why the Giant Drop now hasn’t an age requirement

Seems like construction is about to begin for the vortex

They've fixed that double up of the Taxis and now its just the second maintenance period
