It’s a share plate.

News outlets pumping out these stories about “$100m theme park attraction” with “ground breaking roller coasters”? Who is MovieWorld paying off for this sort of garbage? Expense clearly has been spared considering the poor state of the FotWW queue, and the poor planning/design overall. It’s pretty disappointing seeing this as the final product after years of hype and the concept art released. At least Dreamworld’s somewhat matches what was promised? Reading through social media reactions and reviews the feelings on this area are pretty much the same. So much hype for such a disappointing final product.

With the site update/new park map - has anyone noticed that Motocoaster falls under the “rivertown” section? Each land is designated its own colour. Red being main street, blue for ocean parade etc. Rivertown is a light green - also including Motocoaster.

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say you’re right, they’ve completely rebuilt and rethemed the cars, bought two new ones for accessibility, and rehashed the entire ride experience so it’s fresh. Whats the problem? Is that so bad you feel the need to argue tenfold and then contact the park yourself to prove your point?? It’s a new experience, one they’re investing a lot of money into, is it hard to accept that?

@ShakeShack It is astounding just how many assumptions you make considering no one here actually knows what their plans were or are. This doesn’t clearly say they’re using the old cars at all. Until it’s in writing, i’d say it’s safe to assume we are still getting the new ones listed on the website and mentioned multiple times.

I’m struggling to see the correlation…?

Scratch that. If you watch the video they certainly do push the ride-within-a-ride statement 🙄

Seems they’ve dodged any of the *actual* problems. Unless i’m confused, what would be the benefit of closing batwing to “align with the construction”? Is it not just a footpath in that general area? Keen to know what all of these theming enhancements supposedly are too..

Considering all indication of an April opening has been removed, I would say unlikely. Yikes.

What would you consider Hagrid’s at USO to be? Widely regarded as a family coaster and has a spike w a switch track…

It’s interesting with WWF. They can almost get away with the awful nature of the effects on the ride considering the theme. Definitely agree it’s in major need of a re-haul. Easily one of the best themed rides in the country and it’s in a sad state of affairs..

As usual, the precincts seem to be a few actors running around in different costumes (but typically no overall theming to make each area stand out from eachother). One I am particularly perplexed by however.. is the “Maze Hub” precinct. We are surely reaching at this point? 🤨

My god Superman needs a repaint.

Really clutching at straws there with the “first ride within a ride in the southern hemisphere” remark… They’re not wrong, but really? 😅

Been almost a year since i’ve been here! Thought i’d throw in my two cents.. Surfrider going to either MW or SW is a big plus for either park, but the idea of putting it in the middle of Superman? Awful. When you walk into the park, the first thing you see is Superman’s huge top hat standing tall and proud - it’s the signature entrance and what everyone knows the park for. Why ruin that with a tacky one-trick-pony that will stick out like a sore thumb? Will totally ruin the aesthetic. Sea World is definitely the logical option here.

White Christmas wasn't plagued with Omicron. We didn't learn much about it until just before Christmas. Cases weren't in the 50,000+ and we weren't losing any lives. Totally different ballgame now. Not to mention the vaccination mandate wasn't introduced until halfway through the event.

To my recollection none of our parks have ever had any Australia Day festivities, so there isn't a need to make a stand on the issue. No need to poke the bear.

Considering there is an entire area dedicated specifically to the Indigenous Australian culture, I think it would be in incredibly poor taste to host an Australia Day event given the current climate... wouldn't you?

Boy oh boy i cant wait to ride the Stell Tiepan 360° Tailwhip! Considering in peaks backwards for DCR can hit $25, this is totally justifiable.

Fantastic news, this will be an incredible ride. Thought it's worth commending Dreamworld and their marketing team for this one - they've truly set the standard on the proper way to market rides in Australia from here on in. Everything has been executed perfectly and they haven't missed a beat. Really hope this is a fresh start for the park and just a taste of what's to come.

Would have to be over 27m at least? Gravity Wave down in Funfields clocks that...

'Official' and 'Theme Park Social Network' are not two words that go together. If true, it's fantastic that Gumbuya World bought such a grand coaster like Buzzsaw.

Last time i visited only 1 seat was operational... which is also a huge deter for people.

That's pretty fair. Considering DC Rivals backwards seat has seen the $25 figure before. Correct me if i'm wrong but that's what it currently is?

If i'm honest, i think DW might be on the money with this one... Both VIC and NSW are hitting their vaccine targets 1-2 months before Christmas. There genuinely could be a good chance the borders open for the fully vaccinated - and if that happens in time for Christmas, there'll be an enormous influx of tourists from the south. I can dream right?
