Gold Coast Amusement Force

They wouldn't be posting on instagram that it is opening on the specified date and have staff on the ride if it weren't commissioned.

I mean, the experience of having Model-T Ford Parts probably means nothing to most guests, especially when new flash cars are replacing them.

Bit of a park update, lots has already been covered here.

@themagicianDid you see around the section where you come out of the backwards drop, new town set pieces in the back? I haven’t noticed them before but maybe that’s why the town isn’t working, it’s being replaced?

Just tuning in... Went today, Lots of positive changes for Wild West Falls. - New ride audio throughout the course of the ride - Ride audio upgrades, Can hear the audio much better coming from multiple speakers - All lift hills plus station section have rails now - Loading station now has Wild West gates which open up upon entry. The boat stops for you to enter instead of a continuous movement. - Not sure if I just didn't notice prior, but the loader now has a control panel - The crane animatronic prior to first lift hill now works It all had significant upgrades and little bits and pieces added in. Once you are at the Wild West Town part of the ride, none of the animatronics like swinging gates or the water coming out of the tower work, only the audio is present. When you go up the lift hill, the TV is now off and the audio yelling "get out" is not present. Sorry if any of these changes were already noted, haven't been on in a while.

No need for an adult event at a park that attracts mostly kids and families. There is only a couple rides for adults.

@webslaveYou made your decision based on whether they gave a press release to Parkz. Im sure you'll find you are the only one in that boat.

Yeah, I think they're going to have half the crowd they could have had because they didn't issue a press release to Parkz. Wouldn't surprise me if protests start.

Didn't they say they were making a seating area? Could be that

But surely they wouldn't remove it just because it's unpopular. They desperately need thrill rides and Buzzsaw was bound to become more popular when ST opens.

Well village passes are around $170 - $150 now, and people are clearly willing to pay that if the offerings are as great as villages offerings. Dreamworld's own fault they have to offer a discounted pass because the offerings aren't there to ask more.

No, assume it’s still being tested because some of them, the gondola wasn’t in the frame

Same spot near the train track where the elevated seat is.

Not sure if already mentioned but Giant Drop has ride photos again.

Well maybe they are waiting to see the site after filled, are still in the process of deciding what to place there, water ride is being built elsewhere. Point is it most likely isn't confirmation of anything, would understand why it sounds like that though!

Geez, it seems like the rides come out of maintenance for 2 months or so then go straight back down for a month. Not bothered if it's off peak though.

Probably wouldn't sell a conveyor belt

Oh alright, cheers

Wasn’t the park after dark included with your pass the last time?

They never had a marvel precinct though, did they?

Buzzsaw is down

Well if I had to look at the bright side, hopefully they are conducting maintenance now so everything is open during holiday periods, however they shouldn't all be down at once.

This could be completely wrong, but maybe the noises you heard from the shed at RHLR was the pumps controlling the water level. If they had turned them off since the ride retired, the filters and pumps might have clogged with debris and they wouldn't be able to drain the ride without external equipment.

Doesn't help when its promoted on this forum which gets them heaps of clicks.

The only person I trust is the dipping dots guy
