Prequel

I would suggest something, but to be honest, I don't know what flat rides exist that would go well in that space, that Dreamworld hasn't already got. Would the public accept Movie World installing a frisbee/gyro swing or any other flat rides that another park close by has? I guess it doesn't have to be a flat ride, but it is an area that they do sorely lack in, and is an easy crowd pleaser. They might just replace the attraction with themed seating anyway.

I recently swapped passes from Village to Dreamworld, due to not having been to the park in more than a decade, and the sale they had on passes during Black Friday. I feel like Dreamworld should remain the priority to build up. Neither W&W and WWW see frequent slide investment and offer pretty similar experiences. Dreamworld really only lacks in the coaster department (and a water ride) when compared to Movie World. They have a superior flat ride selection (by far) and a flying theatre which is better than the Roxy Theatre at Movie World. I think if Dreamworld gets an airtime focused thrill coaster, with how much less an annual pass costs compared to their competitor, a lot of others might consider switching passes.

I still wouldn't take it out of the question. Refitting the ride to go along with the new theme for the area would be an undertaking in it's own right, and maybe not something the park feels comfortable with when they have already lost so many attractions in a short period of time. But it makes a lot of sense. New trains would do wonders for the ride, I feel like that's mostly people's problems with the ride, it's really uncomfortable. Sure, the layout is not anything to write home about. But I do not think the ride would have a bad reputation around here if it was given less uncomfortable trains.

I've complied the list so far on Letterboxd. I appreciate your help! @Ogre

There is a few possibilities that are in my head, a new log flume, a first of it's kind flat ride, and a thrill coaster. I doubt it will be a thrill coaster. Steel Taipan, investments wise, was not that long ago, and they are yet to complete their new for 2024 family coaster. A flat ride is possible. Less desirable for me personally, as I do not really like flat rides. But Dreamworld need their ride count to go up. A new water based ride would my bet, as others have pointed out. It just makes sense for Dreamworld to be keen to replace what is a gap in their line up, now that they no longer have either a rapids or a flume. I have doubts over a Intamin water coaster, but you never know. Intamin is dedicating space in their booth, which is designed to advertise to other theme park operators. Which is what makes me really excited for this announcement. I just have doubts Intamin would want make the announcement at their booth if it wasn't something semi-big.

I do remember there was a poster of Stallion Road. I remember it well because it had Ronald Reagan, which I thought was quite cool. I just had the urge to watch all of the movies that are displayed in the queue. I might turn it into a letterboxd list.

This is a strange inquiry. But I was wondering if anyone had a list of the posters found in Wild West Falls' queue?

Speaking of the devil, This is the happiest day of my life!

I've only ever had the staff members use the tray for my glasses, which was something I didn't expect them to do. (But I very much appreciated still being allowed to wear them in the queue.) I don't like the current locker system, but I don't see how they could fix it without a complete redesign of the stations.

So Village wouldn't need to renew the license in 10 years?

I think the back of the park is in need for more urgent care than the Roxy Theatre in my opinion. With Scooby Doo out of action, it's just really empty. It's a whole lot of nothing until you get to Wild West Falls. They should have really themed Doomsday to the wild west in the first place. There just needs to be more reason to spend time at that side of the park. The Batman Legacy showcase also feels so out of place, it's really cool, but it should be moved closer to the front of the park.

Why is this allowed? They are direct competitors. It's like Pepsi and Coke merging.

If Ardent sell the park, what does their company even do.

Why is it always Disney when people discuss the expansion of the theme park sector in this country, It's exhausting to constantly see new articles about some empty new land that could house a Disney Park. Why is it never just a theme park in general. A well built theme park with good attractions will attract people across the country or even abroad anyhow, I don't see why these "proposed entertainment lands" have to only house a Disney park.

I mean, Movie World consistently themes their new attractions to the latest WB blockbuster, and The Flash just came out a few weeks ago before this announcement. So I'd say that's the thinking behind it.
