It was testing 6 weeks ago as well...

The only passes that were extended were those that lost time due to the closure

Busy, as expected. Won’t drop off until the end of next week

Oh great... food options were atrocious last year... can’t even comprehend them being more limited this year. Nothing says Carnivale like a Dominos pizza....

Pretty much.. oh and Batman. its just cross promotional opportunities is all

From TPSN (no idea who the statement came from as it’s not on DW’s page) Statement from Dreamworld Australia on the logride reopening! At the moment most likely it will not be opening Monday. We're in the final stages of testing, but we're currently working with external auditers, Workplace Health and Safety and engineering experts to get the final tick of approval. This end stage is taking longer than expected mainly due to the recent holidays. When we have a firm date we'll update our website and announce the reopening on our social media channels.

Can you post the article?

On the basis of negating an option based on a ride of similar concept existing, then we already have a family dark ride in Justice League. I like coasters, but am by no means anti any family friendly attractions, I have a 5 year old who loves rides and I would love to see more rides we can enjoy as a family. I’m just pointing out that dark ride doesn’t necessarily mean family ride. DW and MW are in competition so the existence of a similar ride at the opposing park doesn’t make a new similar concept an overkill or over saturation.

I’m thinking you’ll probably get more wet... the water that would usually shoot over/past you will now hit the stupid roof and fall back down on you. Fine for summer I guess... if they manage to get it open...

Or you could comeback now and support them whilst they’re ‘down’... whilst the GC has plenty of coasters, the only ones basically worth mentioning are at MW. DW doesn’t have a decent coaster... whilst dark ride eludes thoughts of a family friendly offering... it could be a dark coaster... something Mummy-esque...

In what world is Vintage Cars a coaster? And do numbers 8 and 9 not exist in this strange world?

Not even 10 to list this year... I’ll have to drag this out... 1. DCR front row 2. DCR backrow (forward facing) 3. Superman Escape 4. DCR backwards 5. Arkham Asylum 6. Green Lantern 7. Jet Rescue 8. TOT2 9. Buzzsaw 10. Storm

Could very well be a dark thrill ride.

if It was some type of market pressure to deliver only family friendly attractions, it wouldn’t have lasted over a decade... it’s simply a sign of the changing times and consumer interests.

Not a single person on earth knows that answer definitively at this point in time.

Really wish you’d remove that signature Push.. it’s beyond annoying. I’m not aware of any of this style of attraction that offers multiple ride programs and shows concurrently so I severely doubt you’ll find it happen with the DW incarnation. It will be the same format/theme for at least a few years imo.. that hardly hampers the experience if done well though.. BA:TR didn’t change for several years and it remained popular and re-rideable (well at least the original version)

Whilst it’s lifespan is certainly closer to an end than it’s beginning, in my opinion, it can’t even be a consideration until there are 3-4 strong additions to the park. Do you remove the tower and lose GD too? Or just the track? We’re talking about a park that had intentions on reopening a decade-long closed attraction if it’s was at all possible. TOT2 won’t be going anywhere until it literally can’t make it out the tunnel anymore...

That may be true, but DCA has a lot more going for it that DW. TOT2 still holds the longest lines consistently in the park - partially due to a terrible capacity - but also because it’s a unique attraction to the park. Whilst it bisects a large portion of the park, it doesn’t particularly encroach on the area being redeveloped, the removal of the track wouldn’t really provide enough land for a substantial or equally unique attraction in its place either due to the elevation and layout

Whilst I like IP themed attractions, to put it simply a HTTYD themed flying ride would be a disjustice to the ride. This ride needs to not only appeal to all, it needs to have longevity. HTTYD is a fairly weak movie/tv series, and doesn’t hold a following outside of its target audience. This is one occasion where a generic Australiana theme is perfect for the attraction type.

@RobMac So your answer to returning the park to success is to remove their signature ride in TOT2 and another family ride in MDMC? That is stupidity.

From a tact standpoint any haunted theme ride in the park, let alone in the vicinity of TRR, would be a bad step and likely receive negative publicity.

The maze of elevated pathways is due to be removed. In what manner I am not sure, but would like mean at the minimum a new external queue line and entrance for GD

Sounds promising, though the “could open next year” isn’t overly reassuring. look forward to the press release/ announcement today

Slight of hand and misdirection Push.. at the same time he moved the cross from his hand to yours he was moving your cash and cards from your pocket to his. Abrakadabra!

Pfft... who wants to ride water rides in summer anyways...
