  1. Leviathan was supposed to have waterfalls too - seems a common inclusion in artist impressions/mock ups. whilst I would be impressed by their inclusion if they come to fruition, I’m not expecting them
  2. Best Food - Janes Rivertown Restaurant (DW) Best Guest Experience - Dreamworld Best Park operations - Dreamworld Best Coaster - DCR (MW) Best Family Coaster - Jungle Rush (DW) Best Flat Ride - tough one… would have been The Claw but the old girl is dying a quick death… Giant Drop (DW) Best Themed area - Rivertown (DW) Best Show - TBH - none. Best Kids’ Area - Nickelodeon Land (SW) Best new attraction for 2024 - Jungle Rush Best Amusement Park- Dreamworld
  3. After being trapped on Claw for 25mins in monsoon rain tonight - I can safely say King Claw cannot come soon enough…
  4. Yep the ride is a fantastic experience at night. Lighting is great. Got 4 rides in - 2 each way. Ride ops amazing, engaging with guests etc
  5. End of financial year results won’t break down capex expenditures into individual projects, so they won’t. Anything spent on King Claw pre-June 30 will be lumped in with the $$ spent on Rivertown in the back end of 24 (and this year too).
  6. Whilst I have no clue what those parts are for, the rest of your comment is illogical. King Claw would be well and truly already paid for if not in full, in large part. DW didn’t go to a theme park supermarket and buy it off a shelf - it’s manufactured to the requirements of the park - and that only happens when significant down payment has occurred to begin that process. Delivery will depend largely on the timeline of the manufacturer and where the project fits into their timetables. We’ve seen parts for rides arrive months before install many a time.
  7. The banks will also tell you if you order Uber eats or deposit money into a Sportsbet account periodically that you are mis-managing money. That doesn’t make them right. Afterpay only becomes debt if you don’t make your payments. In the same way having mobile phone plan that includes handset repayments isn’t debt unless you don’t pay your bill.
  8. Not lying of myself at all. Paying something off without paying interest - ie the cost to acquire the product or service is identical - is no less responsible than not buying the product until you have all the money in your hands, it just means you get it sooner. some people cannot manage their money to pay off a credit card or a BNPL and those people shouldn’t touch it.
  9. It’s a free country, no one is forcing someone to use BNPL services. I do the exact same thing, if anything it’s a financially responsible way of managing cash flow.
  10. Agree the sliding door has never been used well. It’s a bit of a free for all
  11. Well that’s the thing about scooby. I remember thinking it was going to be a little dark carnival ride the first time as you have no visibility of the ride, whereas JR is in your face. I’d imagine Scooby’s initial attendance for younger / non-coaster lovers would have been much lower had you seen the backwards drop from the queue line
  12. From the switchback and going past old faithful through to the Indian reservation you are scraping the floor 90% of the way. It’s incredibly uncomfortable bordering on painful. So the safety concerns only appeared now after 20+ years that say the water level must be higher, but the new boats must be heavier and lower to drag along the channel - so why didn’t they allow for this when ordering new boats? in its current state of disrepair, bulldoze the whole thing and start again
  13. It makes the ride uncomfortable, annoying, and removes any immersion of being in the boat when you are literally rolling along a rough concrete troth.
