Moderator. Such an impersonal name - can we call you Sven?

Couldn’t think of anything worse to do in the heat of summer, and all for a elevated view of a carpark and motorway. if the stairs are anything like the ride at the moment, every second one is probably broken anyway….

At least they could get some ongoing marketing/naming rights royalties out of it

Have Disney completely demolished a 30+ year old attraction and then built a replacement attraction that’s a different ride style altogether and given it the same name/theme as what replaced it? dreamworld isn’t re-theming or rebranding an existing ride - RHLR is gone. It’s building a brand new attraction and as such, it should have a brand new theme.

Wedgie has only been operating the last hour or two of the day and green room closes when this happens. No split queues

Agree. All staff should be wearing this

Good to hear it opened eventually. We hit scooby after the buffet, was about a 20min wait

DCR has jus reopened after being down for about 90mins too Scooby re-opened about 30mins ago

Sold out night both scooby and Road runner are down due to technical issues. without WWF basically means no family crowd pullers other than JL. yikes.

In the WC video put up by Jaggs Journey he said it’s opening Boxing Day. Not sure if that’s an opinion or fact

Movieworld called, they want their superhero back…

I’ll do it once, and possibly again in the future if mates are holidaying and want to give it a go - same as what I have done with DCR backwards seats

Pepsi would be very unhappy you’ve called Sunkist by that name…

Glad you got that off your chest. Appreciate your opinion. I disagree with quite a lot of it, but don’t have the energy or the inclination to retort it. We’ve both had our say on our thoughts - they are clearly gulfs apart - and that’s fine. unless it’s related to mandates impacting specifically theme parks, I’m out of this. Mic drop away all you like.

Just realised I don’t want to spend my time on this forum arguing. No one is going to change another persons mind (nor is it or was it my intention to). i’m happy to make a comment here and there regarding specifics of mandates on the parks and impact etc - but just don’t have the appetite of a back and forth on the covid issue en masse.

@pin142 is the winner! Dec 15th is the day, marking the 40th Anniversary of the park. Well played! https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/business/gold-coast-business/gold-coasts-dreamworld-to-launch-its-32m-steel-taipan-coaster-on-for-40th-birthday-on-december-15/news-story/f08ce5246f1e9727b81eeb356ce17e85

From December 15, riders will be able to experience all 1.2km of the 105km/h, triple-launch coaster with its multiple inversions and spinning gondola. The launch date coincides with the theme park’s 40th birthday, which will be celebrated with a range of additional entertainment, giveaways and fun for team members and guests. “We couldn’t think of a better gift for our 40th birthday than the opening of the biggest new attraction in Dreamworld’s history, offering a new, world-class thrill experience during the school holidays, and just in time for the border reopening,” Dreamworld CEO Greg Yong said. “Steel Taipan is a truly fantastic addition to our attraction offering, featuring the Southern Hemisphere’s first triple launch system and the world’s first spinning rear seats. “You’ve got to feel it to believe it, so we encourage our locals to visit from the 15th to see what all the hype is about.” The Steel Taipan project, the biggest single investment in Dreamworld’s history, has created more than 200 jobs, with about 98 per cent of contractor packages awarded to southeast Queensland companies. Mr Yong said the Steel Taipan was likely the largest private sector tourism attraction investment since the pandemic began, and hoped aviation, accommodation, and other tourism businesses would benefit from the visitors drawn to it. Shareholders in Dreamworld parent company Ardent Leisure will be hoping the roller coaster boosts sales of the park’s annual passes which range from $99-$119. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/business/gold-coast-business/gold-coasts-dreamworld-to-launch-its-32m-steel-taipan-coaster-on-for-40th-birthday-on-december-15/news-story/f08ce5246f1e9727b81eeb356ce17e85

I'm amazed at how many tabs you have open on your browser window..

Off go the old carriages. credit to Dw Golden Years. they hint that where they are headed to is a BIG mystery.

The entry theming looks amazing imo. credit to MW fan club FB group for the photos

It's unlike Bikash to exaggerate.... Maybe he meant in the Oceania region of the southern hemisphere.... haha

So Bikash is his recent insta post has further isolated the records associated with the new slides - after the media's inaccurate reporting of it being the longest slide in the world (hahaha). So apparently its the biggest, longest and tallest tower based slide in the southern hempishere. I guess anything can be record if you break if down far enough.

cheers for clarifying, was not aware of that at all

what do you mean by the Batman train and the Joker train? Both trains are themed identically.

Given any medical professional is suspended or sacked and lose their creditations if they suggest anything other than “get jabbed” you’re unlikely to hear anything but a one sided conversation. I’d consider the significant number of heart related reactions, especially in young men, to be an issue. 870 in the first week of November alone. I agree That’s not the experience I have heard or seen first hand. Any reaction is at first attempt palmed off as “coincidental”. Data has been misreported and used since day 1. It’s a documented fact that initially there was an overstatement of deaths attributed to covid. If you die with covid, you are ascertained to have died because of covid. Without doubt, our federal govt royally f**ked up, as did states. We had CHO’s say that getting AZ jab if you were young was more dangerous than getting covid. Then a week later they backtracked. If you don’t think that doesn’t play on people’s minds about the honesty and transparency we are receiving then I don’t know what will. Mandating that people have to get a jab to keep their job, career, livelihood is the definition of force. Providing “rewards” for people to get vaccinated is the definition of coercion. I’m not sure - i am not an anti-vaxxer. The average testing and data collection phase for vaccines prior to a full scale approval and rollout is near to 16 years. there is decades of data on the potential short/medium/long term reactions to childhood vaxs. Parents can make the decision for their children knowing what those are, they can’t in this instance as we have no medium/long term data whatsoever and even the short term data is murky in how it’s being reported
