“We are planning something new but I can’t give details” Super. She wouldn’t be doing her job if she wasn’t planning something new at some point…

That wasn’t my experience at all. Think the most express pass queuing we had was on Journey at about 10mins, actually maybe it was Minion mayhem at around 15, but standby queues at the time were both in excess of 90mins. Why is ensuring rider and guest safety overzealous? Clearly these were put in place out of necessity or they wouldn’t be there Would you not have preempted what your toddler could ride by checking restrictions prior to visiting? and to circle back to your first paragraph Monday was a public holiday in Japan. If you thought visiting the second highest attended theme park in the world on a public holiday was going to be calm and easy going adventure, you failed to plan

Could Big Brother return to Dreamworld?
Brad2912 replied to zacsta_1997's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Whilst there is zero chance of BB returning to DW, the original iterations of the show filmed at DW were highly successful and had a positive impact for the park in terms of revenue, visitation and marketability. not sure why you are hooked on “pathetic stupid rubbish” as a descriptor, and while I agree for 2-3 recent pre-recorded series have been failures, the twisted comment makes no sense. -

Seems like a real missed opportunity to not open the biggest pool in the country…. -

so... if they had gone with a 47m swing height, would that have then be classified as incredibly sized? And then moved from "average" to "good" ? You have to remember the Claw plot isn't exactly in clear pastures, the clearance margins are finite, and for all we know this is the total extent to which they could go without having to remove a neighbouring ride or greatly alter the footprint / site which would then have exceeded budget.

What fanfare are you speaking of? because to this end, there has been none. Its just chatter on a theme park forum. it's 2m shorter than Beast, which in the grand scheme of things is nothing, and Beast is a travelling ride so isn't even included in records for permanent installations at theme parks. 2m of height doesn't change whether something is "premiere" or not. The massive jump in height will already alienate some riders that currently enjoy Claw - which is an immensely popular attraction. Add a full inversion to it and you are then moving from a moderate to high thrill ride, and scaring away a hell of a lot of riders. I think the decision not to go full loop is the absolute correct one in this case.

Maybe, though I don’t see them really as competing parks tbh. Gumbuya are no doubt growing substantially and trying to position themselves in a the realm of big parks, they have a ways to go and their location and trying to get the jump on an announcement of a new attraction is likely to have zero impact on DW -
Certainly referring to marine only given the abundance of terrestrial animal hospitals at many locations in Australia alone The fact it’s an LNP announcement and continually refers to “shadow” minister I think eludes enough to this being an election based project reliant on them being in power
