damn it, was really hoping they'd say "we're tight asses so we're closing it to save money on labour in the off-peak season"

From memory there is no path on that side of the road. You just walk over the grass area (even if there was a path it would be quicker to cut across)

So why quote my post where I was saying it was a bullshit rumour? And then claim your point was that people make up bullshit rumours??

I'd be inclined I believe someone like Slick who has runs on the board on the forum as opposed to someone with only a handful of posts

He doesn't.

I can't see them building a whole Motorsport area, and I seriously doubt we'll see a replacement boat ride. In filling the lake and making that island area suitable for a ride would cost more than the ride itself

They need permits regardless of the school. You need permits to extend your house! GC PD Online has no submissions

Let's just agree to disagree

None of the examples u give, are examples of full closure of a ride to save on costs. So I repeat, it was groundless rubbish

So why shouldn't they get it then?

If true, it would be 2 separate projects anyway. Not necessarily same company

If it is even correct that Reef Diver is being replaced, the footprint is quite small so I don't think we are seeing a major attraction being built.

And what is that assertion based on? Tell me when DW has previously kept one of their big thrill rides closed to save costs? You can't, so don't post Absolute groundless rubbish

Hope not!

MDMC also down for 3 months, not that anyone here will care...

Should be noticeably more quiet from the Tuesday onwards.

Big Brother is there to stay. Record ratings and revenue for DW

??? Themeparklover your posts are incredibly confusing. On the GTA idea, it's terrible.

A casino is implausible given the situation with available licences in qld and the fact that the redevelopment of crown is Brisbane and the cruise ship proposal, each worth billions, will take the available licences over anything DW could or would ever develop even if Ardent were pouring money in. Same goes for resort accommodation. Barring the teem parks, there is no tourist like attractions to warrant it. It's 20mins from hundreds of hotels and resorts in surfers. The only thing that can return DW to its glory days would be a strategic capital investment plan delivering a number of world class attractions or rides over a period of 3-5 years, coupled with the expansion of WWW to rival WnW in terms of offerings. It's doesn't need glitzy events that draw 10,000 people for a few nights a year (Ala fright nights), it needs to deliver on its day to day operations. In saying all that, I really enjoy a day out at DW with the family, just think they could do a whole lot more

??? What if Dreamworld built an 18 story tall squirrel statue? What if they paint the entire park and every ride pink and re-name it Princessworld? Why put forward a suggestion/question and then say you don't agree with your own idea? Also, the Coomera Motel is already next to Dreamworld, and you couldnt really improve on that now could you...

Hey guys, Sorry if this has been covered previously, but cannot find the info here or on any of the websites. Do the VIP passes give u discounted access for family/friends like the DW passes do? It is a flat discount or larger in your birthday month like DW?

There is better chance of Disneyland opening on the moon than them buying Dreamworld and converting it into a Disneyland Australia. On the scale of out there ideas that ones way off scale. There also isn't as much land as there once was, with DW selling off a parcel for the Coomera town centre development which should start by years end

SE down for 6 weeks? Seems a long maintenance period, has it been that long previously??

Log fencing as well

A lot of those would be re-rides, not unique visitors. 60,000 really isn't that high. That's a thousand people a day, 140 people an hour. Granted its Perth, but most GC parks would double that hourly capacity in school holidays
