  1. i about spat out my lemonade lmaooooooo
  2. I'm so disappointed. Just saw it's in the old spot the Octopus was in and it's basically another chair swing style spinning ride except it has carriages and they move outward more. Lame!
  3. So it's the 24th and i still can't find ANY information on this ride, searched twitter, facebook and instagram - nothing. Except for this tiny blurb on AW's website:
  4. I continue to be shook every time i see new supports and track in. Movie World are slaying the game right now, i cannot WAIT to ride this beast.
  5. SHOOK!!!! I really REALLY like that name and the aesthetic looks promising! Come through AW!
  6. The log ride and the model car ride won't do much to improve their prospects, but it's a start i guess...
  7. I think the back seat will be an upcharge of $25 p/p. I think it's going to be a lot more than what most people think. I mean, look at it this way. The demand, especially in the first few months and probably for a good few years, is going to be massive. Every thrill seeker is going to want to try the back seat. So MW will be in a position to essentially charge what they will. They won't go TOO high but it'll definitely be more than $10, and i'd be willing to put bets on it being $20+.
  8. Movie World's skyline now is stunning. You have the charcoal black coaster right up the back, with the red coaster to the left, then the green coaster right up front with half of the completed "fuschia" coaster. Breath taking. #themeparkporn
  9. Did you really just compare Disneyland to Dreamworld? Disneyland has several annual blockbuster films (Pirates, Star Wars, Pixar, etc etc list goes on and on) which propel it's attendance every year not to mention the best back catalogue of any film company geared towards children. Yes, nostalgia works for Disneyland because of that back catalogue of characters and films they get to work with but Disneyland also continues to thrive because of their use of CURRENT Disney-films. Dreamworld has none of that to fall back on. Nostalgia will not work for them, I'm absolutely sorry to say. They need to keep with the times or they will be left behind - just like Wonderland was.
  10. I found the perfect ride for DW. It's new at "Movie Park Germany" which looks like it also has a ride like Bermuda Triangle from SW in the background.
  11. I don't agree with this at all, i'm sorry. The market TODAY is so so different to the market back in the 80's when Dreamworld launched. First of all, Dreamworld only had to compete with Sea World and it's main competitor today (Movie World) was still a decade off launching. Second of all, people back then didn't have the expectations they do today. It was such a huge thing to even have the Thunderbolt back then. I remember in the early 90s, when I was a small child, driving past DW and being in awe of the Thunderbolt from the highway and always wishing I could go on it. Thirdly, there is a huge reason why DW went the way of the 'big thrill rides' as their park stared to evolve; they saw the market changing and they realised they needed to keep adding these type of attractions to grow their business and keep existing customers coming back. Your point about "appealing to people's nostalgia and planning to bring back old favourite family rides" is really only going to appeal to parents who went to DW as children. No one under the age of 25 will care about that "nostalgia" at all unfortunately and I certainly think it could be in vain if they spend big money trying to bring back these rides that have far less appeal in today's market than they did when they launched. My two cents.
