I'm not surprised they are reopening tomorrow. The police have given the clear that the whole park isn't a crime scene, despite the investigation continuing until necessary. I imagine that area of the park will be closed for some time, but I'm ademant that the park is safe. I think what happened Tuesday was a freak accident. The ride passed the maintenance period, and despite reports it closing due to issues earlier that day I doubt that'll be linked to the incident, otherwise they wouldn't have reopened the ride. I'm glad they are having the Memorial Day in respect of the victims and their families. I imagine it would a week or so before the majority of the rides reopen, but BuzzSaw I see will be staying closed until the investigation is complete. And for the Rapids ride, who knows what will happen. It's just going to take quite a while before DW is back to normal.

Ignore this, wrong thread

Don't know if I missed someone else posting this, but the park will be reopening Friday at 11pm for a 'Memorial Day' and all proceeds will go to the Red Cross in support of the families. WWW will be open, along with some of the smaller rides and Corrobbee.

Went to the park not to long ago to lay some flowers out the front as a sign of respect, and there are already plenty of flowers placed out the front. Such a horrible thing to happen, and am truly shocked by it all. Thoughts are with the victims and all those involved.

Reports have just said that one of the boats slipped on the lift hill of the river Rapids, sliding back and crashing into another boat, causing it to flip. At this stage it's believed 2 people have been killed, and 4 injured. Horrible news, and thoughts are with those injured and their family and friends

Well online now you can online purchase tickets that are for both DW and WWW, and not just for the individual park

Welcome to the forums Carnivale is usually around Easter time. This year it was mid April through to mid May. So imagine it would be similar dates in 2017

The finalists for the Reel Horror Film Festival have been uploaded online:

This map shows it. Where the current fenced off area is will be stage 2, and features another exhibit space, with a pool, allowing guests to get even closer to the tigers. And then to the right of that will be a new space where you can book for the Tiger experience to have your photo with one.

@reanimated35 Nope

I did try the ride when I went to FN, and it did complete 4 spins each way (If i remeber correctly) which did allow it to pick up more speed and more it more thrilling, but for me, it did make me feel a bit dizzy.

No @Jamberoo Fan. Not major steel works, but along the top around the edges I noticed some that wasn't there. But yes there is a lot of scaffolding around the building now

Just in case anyone is interested, this is what Pandamonium looks like without the arms on it:

I hope that DW make it flow from the rest of the entrance, so it doesn't look completely out of place.

Some plants are being installed into the rock faces, work has begun on a new rock face as you head towards the shop, and a railing has been added at the front of the stadium

More steel has been installed

That's strange because I know I voted for the flash, and then I checked back a few minutes later and now it's chicken soup

And why has 'The Flash' changed to 'Chick Soup for the Soul'?

It is possible to purchase in pack, but believe, and I could be wrong, but do think they are a bit more expensive in park.

@Ryande16 I drove past it this afternoon, and turned into MW and drove past the site slowly and there wasn't anything major to take photos of. There were a few more footings, some more materials, but thats it. But as @AlexB, if there is something worth saying about, or taking photos of, don't worry, we will if possible and will post them.

DW have finally decided to theme their rides to Churros

@FoolishMortal999 I think @reanimated35 is trying to figure out of those two people are on these forums or not.

And I really hope those two people aren't on these forums. Because there is nothing I hate more than enthusiast, who probably visit the parks on a regular basis, ruining or affecting visitors to the park who probably don't go often, or haven't been before. And all just to try and get the 'perfect shot'. As many people on here have shown, you can take awesome pictures at the parks, without disrupting others.

Nice to see they've themed it to TOT and not just left it as a horrible brick wall.

That's why I said, I can't imagine the amount of effort and hours that are put into making the event. I do think they did a good job this year, but compared some of the previous years, this years wasn't quite as good. And after seeing what is possible, this year in some areas/parts felt a little flat or could've been pushed even further to be made even better. I loved the conjuring Maze. I thought the improvements to Wyrmwood were great, the other two mazes were a little disappointing for me (F13 because of how awesome it was last year) but still thought they were solid. The characters in the precincts were good, and I thought the scares in Appirations were great, but the Precinct could've been bigger. Yes all these things cost more, but the amount of extra value they add to each night, and the experience everyone gets out of it would make it all worth while. But as said, this is just my opinion on it.
