It says on the Fully 6 slides that you can “ride all 6”, so I am very keen to know if all of them have now been opened. I hope so. I love the transparency too for The Green Room. WWW still needs another slide addition but if they have got some extra slides open after being closed for several years that’s a good accomplishment.

We went to Movieworld yesterday and frankly it is embarrassing. Our passes due to expire next week so we thought we would take a look one last time before they expire. the park was frankly an embarrassment, operations are still dreadfully slow, staging out the wait times unnecessarily. Most rides are shut, running a dualling coaster with one train is an embarrassment and even rides like Road Runner now run on shortened times (12-4). With rubbish food at midday we left and went and ate at Jane’s, then did Jungle Rush, Taipan and Sky Voyager and the conparison between the two parks is as clear as it can be. It’s paying off for Dreamworld too, as the park was clearly busier than Movieworld.

All of the options sound great (pins!) and frankly it continues to show how Dreamworld continues to innovate. If they are offering something like 15% off an unlimited entry for Happy Halloween for the Ultimate pass it would be worth selling for about 200-220. EDIT: Side note, yes they should bring back physical passes but also bring back physical maps!!

Attended the opening of Rivertown this morning and so I can directly compare Movieworld's and Dreamworlds. Dreamworld opened the doors to the park about 9:55am (and had a small contingent of VIPs and Theme Park enthusiasts in at 9:30am) and then had up to Rivertown gated off. At 10:05am we were then escorted down to outside the Jungle Rush coaster and there was about 15/20 mins of speeches and then the ride was ready to go. From the beginning the rides were open, stayed up for most of the day (Jungle Rush had a few periods of short down time) and the experience was really enjoyable. There were plenty of staff rostered on, the area looks amazing and well themed (and i am sure there is more to come, but it looks pretty much finished) and the radio was there giving out prizes. It felt like a true 'opening'. I really like that Greg acknowledges theme park enthusiasts in his speeches and is so connected to the community needs. It's a much more humble approach to theme park management. His offsider Michelle (I believe she is Ops manager) spent the morning in the control booth of JR then went and helped serve at the Rivertown Restaurant, it is not uncommon to see Greg helping in these back of house areas, it shows that even the exec team will jump on board and help out - it's a really good look. This is in direct contrast to Bikash who was quick to scoop into the VIP fast pass queue at 10:05am for the WoZ rides. Dreamworld was alive today and it's great to see the hard work they are putting in paying off.
