  1. So how exactly would that work with a separate unload/load station assuming the ride operationally remains the same?
  2. I'm sure there will be some productive and insightful discussion on Facebook over this
  3. 195 cm height cut off is a little disappointing, guess that ill never get to ride it as superman and jet rescue is already a coin toss whether or not I can ride depending on what shoes I wear to the parks Intamin really gotta design their flats to accommodate up to 200cm consistent with everyone else in the industry, they’re the only manufacturer out there that has it this restrictive. From what I understand it’s not a clearance thing but it’s a fitting your body within the restraint thing, the logic is that your head needs to be up to the head rest. There’s quite a bit of folk that are going to get turned away at the gate (Upon looking up a few other big Intamin gyro swings around the world there seems to be no height cutoff, so what’s the go here)
  4. I don’t see it that way. Hasn’t Movie world been charging $109 for day tickets for ages (at least that’s how I remember it on my last visit 2 years ago)? have no idea when the $99 ticket came in that’s news to me. Correct me if I’m wrong but movie world was charging $109 (ie full price because it was set at that all year) for day tickets when half the park was closed in the middle of the year Jury’s still out on when it gets to may/june and at least a third of the park is shut. Happy to eat my own words on that but if village was happy to charge full price for that then, I don’t see it being any different now
  5. I really doubt they are going to lower the price for off peak seasons. I’d guarantee they’ll keep it at $109 even when half the park is closed. This is just an exercise to grab more money off the people travelling from down south and nothing else

  7. At least this park seems to be backed by some kind of money, that raises the chance of it opening in any form by about 2% zero chance that it’s completed in its proposed form though. It’ll be reduced to the shops and the theme park whenever the first stake is in the ground
  8. Yep start of this year to Oscar’s group I went in the park fairly recently and it was in horrible shape. Place was dirty and some of the rides were running very poorly. For those playing at home - publicans do not seem to be very good at running theme parks and in fact make current village roadshow look like experts
  9. What a shame if it goes. Best drop tower in Australia imv, it is very intense. If its time is up I hope they can replace it with another drop tower however I know the park have pretty strict height limits to work with. Would love to see an Intamin sky jump on our shores
  10. IMO and just my 2 cents A high throughput family ride is dreamworld’s number 1 need. I’ve been a fan of a shoot the chutes at dreamworld for ages but a modern flume would also be a good option. Please do not put this in ocean parade when there’s plenty of space on the other end of the park that needs something big to distribute crowds Motocoaster is not leaving it’s more likely that it is rethemed Nebulaz where flowrider is, please and thanks Dreamworld in my view is set for high thrill rides for now and I don’t see them installing another high thrill coaster unless they plan on pulling down Gold coaster in the near future (which they aren’t) Kevil hill/trolls village is off limits until big brother stops using it (whether the show is canned again or production leaves dreamworld) WWW is almost a fully fleshed out park, it just needs a lazy river, thankfully there’s a spot ready for one where they attempted to put one before.
  11. You are probably on your way to the park already but I would recommend getting on steel dragon first as it closes at 2 (I believe) each day I reckon you’ll have enough time to do a lap on the big 3 coasters, the park does get packed during the summer time. Make sure you have cash with you if you want to get a fast pass (they are pretty cheap) there’s an atm in the 7/11 next to the park
  12. Must have changed it recently. I can remember the key when I first went on flying dinosaur 6 years ago. They had the piece of paper when I went again December last year. Keys better - no possibility for issues with the scanners not being able to scan your QR code when you come back. The piece of paper won’t fall out of your pocket when it’s being held in by the lap bar It does get very hot and humid over there in summer. Roller coasters tend to run quicker and rougher in the heat, rivals can get a rattle in summer too. Lots of rides in Asia (and here for that matter) have this problem unfortunately
  13. Ride (which looks like a Huss pirate just like the original) not far away from commissioning (from Perth theme parks on FB)
