  1. I believe around 80% of the track was replaced, with the majority of it being in the disco room as thats the track that would’ve has the most aging due to the forces of the vehicles. The lift system was also completely replaced. I have seen a few comments about the ride is experience is rough, but it seems to be just during the lateral force zones and on the drops. How are the brake systems (as they are all new), are they much smoother?
  2. This was rectified later in the day, with the white lights turned off and the screens turned on playing the whole movie. Movie World did confirm this was going to be the case in a video last week, but I don’t know how I feel about it either. Some of those turns are pretty jarring (nature of a wild mouse coaster) and having the laser lights with the Scooby music blasting was always part of the fun. Did they run out of lighting budget because they added so much ambient lighting to the queue and dark ride portion? The vehicles are new, but I don’t think they’re the newest Mack wild mouse vehicle model. The vehicle theming was removed from the old cars, refurbished and installed on the new ones.
  3. The new presentation begins on Monday
  4. It would probably sell out if they announced Scooby was open during the event
  5. They started deconstructing the stage and outdoor area of the house today. There will be house tours through the school holidays (dates to be confirmed). Gold Coaster was meant to reopen this Friday, but has been delayed to next Friday.
  6. The park is opening at 9am this weekend for passholders to experience King Claw before park opens
  7. From what I’ve heard all of the wall panels are new, everything else has been refurbished, new screens and new lighting package.
  8. Test seat has been installed and is located next to the entry of the outdoor queue. Movie World also shared these images
  9. @Gazza the soundtrack is very good. Reminded me of the one you hear around the Jaws ride, with the addition of sea monster growls.
  10. I haven’t got a photo, but this repaint was completed yesterday
  11. That was the intention. Originally the park was planning on getting all electric vehicles, but after they experienced the ones at Universal Singapore they opted to refurbish the existing vehicles. They had planned to buy at least more electric vehicle which would be accessible, allowing guests in wheelchairs to ride. To my knowledge this vehicle is available, but isnt used unless required by an accessible guests. It’s stored to the side of the load area and is transferred onto the turntable when required.
  12. The theatre experience is pretty enjoyable and is something you can sit down and watch for as long as you want (while cooling down) In dont believe there have been any birds within the aviary since COVID and the netting that was damaged during the cyclone earlier this year has finally been removed Something new is being built next to the wombat habitat The tree kangaroos have a new habitat between the kangaroos and cassowary
  13. The painted image on the Main Street stage is now 3D Works to expand the outdoor seating area of Kenny’s Fried Chicken are underway The Ocean Parade sign is getting a makeover Works are happening on the ticket booths at the front of the park A wall is being built in front of the sliding door within the Emporium to erase the former patisserie from guest view

  15. Here’s a detailed look at the attraction. For the best themed flat ride in the country. Well done Dreamworld. They were also running the ride every few minutes for a lot of yesterday, so I think we could expect a soft opening any day now.
