I've heard that the show stage where villains unleashed is was being gutted out, as it still had its seating and stage. So maybe this could relate to that?

Okay, yes. I wasnt really think about some of the examples you have given. Was just a quick thought I posted. Areas like Harry Potter most certainly are immersive, and definitely area about the amazing spider man ride, that ride is one of my all time favourites.

I think you've always got to use your imagination in a theme park, no matter how good the theming is.

I get the point you make here, and I agree with the majority of what you say in the article. But they aren't advertising massive rides they don't have, it's more tiny experiences. If I saw this as someone who hadn't been to the park, I'd think oh cool they've got this canoe experience. But if I got to the park and found out they didn't have it, I don't think I would be massively dissapointed because I could hire a canoe and go somewhere else and do it. They show a boy on tiger island, but if I got there and saw that Log and a tiger on it, I wouldn't be disappointed because there is a tiger on/near it. But there is an experience I can do to get close to the Tigers. I think these prints/posters/billboards are trying to take what DW have and show that all off, but then add an extra element to it that makes it part of your imagination. I see the people in astronaut suits and I don't think, wow that's so cool, I can wear one while on the ride. It's just a marketing way to get people to think differently about the things DW have to offer, and encouraging people to use their imagination. To add that extra bit of magic to people's day. Theme parks to me are about creating experiences that you can't just do where ever and whenever. You can't just go anywhere you want a see a tiger, you can't launch from 0-100 in 2 seconds. And you can't drop 120 metres without a a parachute and survive. Theme parks bring people's imaginations alive, especially for kids who get to meet their favourite superhero or dreamworks character. This campaign to be is about reminding people that theme parks are happy places for everyone to enjoy. Do things you can't or haven't done before. It's about bringing imagination back to people's lives.

@YLFATEEKS I haven't visited the park since the firsts day they closed for maintenance. Batwing already had maintenance crews carrying out work, but with JL there isn't a way of telling

Why is the future of DW in doubt. What the hell. No it isn't. It's fine. It's safe. The ride it's job. The media need to piss off.

They still have this one

Channel 9 and 7 news are still outside the park ?

Ignore this, wrong thread

Billboards have been updated

Sure do:

The theming was removed as it is believed they did not meet fire safety standards, therefore being a hazard it was immediately removed. Theming is believed to currently being remade and we don't know when it will be re-installed, but as guest services have said, probably going to be during the next maintence period. Unless they slowly add it back in after hours.

Superman Escape is now scheduled for maintenance on Monday 24th April and will reopen Monday 15th May 2017.

The video is titled 'For all astronauts in training. So I don't think in any way that they are saying the ride is themed to being in space, but it is more about the experience and the forces and speeds that you face, like astronauts face in training.

Dreamworld have uploaded all the content onto their website https://www.dreamworld.com.au/imagination

Good to see they also did smaller videos highlighting individual aspects of the park. Well done Dreamworld

Banner for the campaign

Good to see they are doing something to the space of some sort. If they aren't planning to do anything with the space at this stage, it would be nice to just leave the grass and plants, and leave it as a green space for people. Just a few benches in the space for now. I'd rather that than have a concrete space that's useless.

I don't think in any way DW would've thought that those lyrics refer to the incident, and I'm sure they wouldn't have published the advert if they had any doubts about it. And do we know that the victims did drown, or was it the weight of the boats/the mechanical elements that caused there deaths? I know people can have their own opinions, and some may take offence by that lyric, but I personally don't.

I think the description DW gave for this video really explains what it is all about right now "In a connection created with heart, soul and nostalgic passion, we’ve reimagined everything Dreamworld has always been; A place of genuine experiences, forever memories and a giddy, giggling mix of escapism and home." It really is all about reimagining everything we've known to love about DW. It's about brining happiness to everyone, not just thrill seekers, or small kids, everyone as a whole. And with what happened last year, this is the perfect time for this type of campaign. Get people excited about the park and really show what they have to offer.

That's the exact same thing that i first thought of @Redboost and all the childhood memories I had watching that film

I'll also add that the logo has been updated again and has removed the 'star' effect from behind it New Old I really think that right now DW are stripping everything back and going back to basics and try to get as many people through the gates and bring happiness and allow people to create fun memories. And I definitely think that new ad does that, and I'm really happy for DW right now. They've got a fair way to go, but they are definitely on the right path to doing so.

Dreamworld's new advert for their ' Pure Imagination' campaign is out. And I must say, personally I think this is a great advert and campaign and really allows them to show off all aspects of the park in a really nice way. "Welcome home to Dreamworld; A world created to inspire wonder, where learning has no finish line and where anything is possible when powered by dreams and imagination."

It definitely is the lighting, it's still looking very bright and red. This was taken last week
