I agree. An example is during the construction of the Storm Coaster. Sea World never posted any photos of it, until a week before it opened. There have been times when they have given hints (Such as when GL was being constructed, Movie World posted small separate images which were parts of a puzzle). I don't know if other theme parks across the world post images during construction, but I think the GC parks should. Even if they only ever post one or two, it would be good to get some hints from them about what is going on and what the attraction will look like or be. I do hope Dreamworld give some hints about what their two new rides will be in the next month or so.

If it does get delayed and it is a good attraction, then thats fine. I think Dreamworld may try to open the Wipeout at the next Screamworld (July 4). That probably won't be the case, but it may be their aim

Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster fire and lighting effects
Why have the different coloured lasers and the amount of smoke been minimised on Scooby-Doo?

The only thing is I don't belive it could be constructed in 4 months. I could be wrong though.

Whatever it is at least they are adding another slide. WWW desperately need more slides. I don't know how much land Dreamworld own, which could be expanded to make WWW bigger. they may never be able to have as many slides as WnW, but they need to add more to compete.

That is true, but I really do hope they don't do that. A ride like the Taipan at Jamberoo Action Park would be really good.

That's what I was thinking as well. If they put it behind little rippers there is very little land to clear, as there isn't much there. I also don't think they will use another tower. I know people have said they did that with wedgie and no one expected, but I can't honestly see how they will do it this time. If they do build another tower, then that may allow for future slides to be added to it as well. For all we know the pieces of the slide could be on there way right now. I don't think they will get a S&S Screamin' Swing. It is too similar to the claw. We will just have to wait and see. I would expect that by the end of the month work will have started.

What waterslide do people want to see WWW get? I personally want to see something similar to WNW Sydney's Bombora or Typhoon.

Dreamworld have updated their website again, announcing that the Big 9 Thrill Ride and waterside will be opening in September. And - New Food Outlets and Coffee Shop - Opening Soon (I think if WWW are extending their land for the waterside, they will put the new shops there).

I also think JL is better ban batman adventure. I'm mixed about whether I prefer Bermuda Triangle or storm though. what about other ride changes. Such as the speed coaster and twister to aqualoop. And the upgrade to the kids area at Dreamworld? I think they are better now

I love the sound of that. But would that be a quite expensive transition and is it possible to do to the GD?

I think that a Star Flyer will be a good addition to the park and will fit well in that area. The thing is though, on the sign it says opening in September (so it will be most likely opening for the school holidays). It is now May. They have got to get rid of the Reef Diver (I would say it will be gone by the end of the month) and then they only have 4 months before it opens. What ever it is, it isn't going to a something that isn't to complicated to build in a short time. So if it is a star flyer, this could be done. My bets for the make over is on either the cyclone, or river rapids.

I don't think it will be the cinema because it says a major attraction. I don't see the cinema as a major attraction. The cyclone, log ride and river rapids are the best bet.

I just think they haven't had a new ride there for a few years now, so they must (hopefully) have a good water slide in the plan. I don't see where else they could put a new ride.

Cyclone Replacement/Refurbishment
Well Dreamworld have posted on there website that two major attractions will be getting a major makeover within the next year so maybe cyclone is one of them

It now says on the Dreamworld website that Wipeout won't be reopening until July 2014.

Oh really. Well there you go then. I'm looking forward to all of these. I'm looking forward to this. I hope the make over will be for the cyclone. The new Big 9 thrill ride will either be replacing the Reef Diver or Mine Ride and the waterside will obviously be going out the back of WWW, behind the little rippers. I hope the water slide is something that hasn't been seen on the Gold Coast before.
-

Well. I don't think there will be a new thrill ride. But I do hope they replace the Reef Diver. I also don't think that we will see any new water slides this year. Maybe next year instead. And yes I would like to see the makeover of the two attractions. We have already got one, so why not the other.
-
Cyclone Replacement/Refurbishment
As I have said before, I find it the most uncomfortable ride on the Gold Coast. I have got bruises from the ride before. I just think it needs a new train. When it goes up the lift hill it is quite slow and you always seem to go back a bit before the next pull. Also when it comes back into the station, it stops and then goes and then stops and goes and stops again. Why can't they just fix these small issues and then I would go on the ride again.

Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster fire and lighting effects
thats alright alex. I do think the volume should be turned back up a bit because sometimes you can hardly hear it. It would also be good if they had a few extra coloured lasers. Another thing. It seems every time I go on it the.breaking is really hard or nice and smooth, why isn't it ever the same?
-
Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster fire and lighting effects
sorry the first time I went on the ride was in 2011, so I don't know

Besides the lasers and smoke, are there any other major components to the ride that have changed since opening day

What would you like to see at Gold Coast Theme Parks soon?
I don't think they will get another ride in this area. I would like to see a new western themed show.
