Couple of thousand people with cameras in their pockets and the ability to instantly post to social media says yes….

It always had a full kitchen, don’t forget billabong was a buffet Restaurant. this won’t be quick service, by the sounds of things it was be a proper sit down a la carte restaurant rather than a buffet again however

No, 2024

oh well, will have to look at some dolphins instead...

Theme park giant Dreamworld has announced a restaurant as the final addition to its new precinct Rivertown, in a feast for your stomach and senses. Jane Rivertown’s Restaurant is set to open in late 2024 and will offer immersive and interactive dining experiences including lifelike animatronic animals including a python, talking parrot, snapping crocodile, orangutang, and family of monkeys in the rafters. Decorated with a suspended canoe, cargo nets and jungle wildlife, the restaurant also showcases items collected by the fictional adventurer Jane, including a beautiful grandfather clock, oversized masks, and rare antiques from across the globe. Dreamworld commercial and facilities director Dwayne Clark said there were some exciting surprises awaiting guests at the bar. “We’ve planned some special touches around the bar that will truly add to the experience. “Jane’s Rivertown Restaurant is the final piece of Rivertown, and it is set to be one of the most dynamic and immersive dining experiences on the Gold Coast. “We’ve designed this space to entertain, surprise, and delight our guests at every turn, it’s an experience unlike any other,” he said. The restaurant will be able to seat up to 280 people and will include an events and conference space with capacity for up to 120 people. The restaurant will also hold a 12.5 metre long themed boat bar, which will serve as the central hub of the dining area. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/entertainment/whats-on/interactive-dining-experience-coming-to-theme-park-giant-dreamworld/news-story/5e93d83d88add795ac304904121b8990

Haha i had family there yesterday from interstate who had an amazing day and had zero issues with ride closures Food prices at DW are the best of any theme park DW has more seating than any park on the GC You either have ridiculous expectations or were high all day

For lack of a better place to put them without bumping a ridiculously old thread, here is a couple of photos of the storm damage from todays FY24 presentation

Given the arena was used for queuing for DCeased last year, I don’t reckon that’s happening…

When it comes to VTP of late, I don’t think anything is off the table or any previously made announcement is beyond change/backflip given what we have seen with the monorail, FNs and Sound Stage.

Last year was the weakest I’d seen in a decade, so i didn’t really have an appetite to go again this year, but the same 5 mazes? Again? They won’t hit capacity on any night unless it’s through freebies/promo

That’s a hell of a bump to then get it incredibly wrong

Never understood why people do the rides, or at least prioritise them, on FN. the mazes are there just for the event, the rides are always there. WC is the better event for getting on night rides

No one is saying that. Pretty sure Dapto is referring to the fact Bikash has a habit of going a little overboard with his promotion of things to the point of it being a little fanciful and over-embellished. Everything is always “the first” of its kind, which when it impacts the overall experience is fine “first triple launch coaster!” for example. But “first time we’ve built a new land from the ground up?” Not a selling point anyone really gives two hoots over, so why embellish the truth ?

The Gold Coast’s biggest new theme park attraction in years is on track to open by Christmas in the latest pitch to lure domestic and international visitors back to the city. Construction is in full swing of the “world-first” $50m Wizard of Oz precinct at Warner Bros Movie World at Oxenford, with Village Roadshow bosses tipping the family friendly multi-ride area will take the city down the yellow brick road of prosperity. Village chief operating officer Bikash Randhawa said it would be able to accommodate more than 2000 people every hour. “This is something that has never been done before, so the beauty of this attraction is that everything has had to be built from scratch. “There were numerous people from Warner Brothers Discovery, our thematic team and our internal teams who had to create every square inch of this area from nothing. “What we’ve achieved here, especially with all the talent and the skill set coming out of Gold Coast, and to be able to do something that has not been done anywhere in the entire world is a big tick for tourism, and a big tick for the city of Gold Coast. “Theme parks drive visitation and I believe this will be something that is so iconic that, for years and years to come, we’ll have families come here with mums, dads and kids, who will one day bring their own children, making it a generational piece.” The attraction was first announced in July 2022. It will have two family-friendly rides, including a multi-launch coaster, capable of reaching speeds of almost 70km/hr around a 454m track and a racing coaster where thrill seekers will travel simultaneously on two 220m tracks reaching speeds of up to 58km/hr. It follows the recent opening of it's The Flash Speed Force ride at Easter. The Wizard of Oz precinct is being built on the former location of the Arkham Asylum roller coaster, which was originally known as the Lethal Weapon ride. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/future-gold-coast/warner-bros-movie-world-gold-coast-first-look-at-wizard-of-oz-precinct-attraction/news-story/e82f1aa3796ab35c4018ebb0ae2890e8 Did I miss the part where the suspended family coaster was having multiple launches?

Not in full, but they pop up and i read them often. must have been a super busy day, but now I know they still employ that I’ll alter the advice I give to people, I’d honestly never heard of it happening at all recently

The USJ website also hasn’t been updated in some ways for years. It still says you just wear a mask at all times too. Interested in how it was restricted? Did they bring out fencing and gates and you had to scan a timed entry pass get in? If so, that would have been the only day in the last 12 months that was implemented. I read daily trip reports at USJ on another site and you are the first to have mentioned it in any way since this time last year. Did you try to access the area, or just assume you couldn’t enter as there was no timed entry available in the app?

Just a slight amendment to these - timed entry to HP at USJ has not been in place since Sept last year. Whilst the express passes still give you a time to enter, there is no gate or monitoring whatsoever, so you can come and go as you like. express pass 7 is highly recommend however. USJ is ridiculously busy even when it’s “quieter”. With DK world opening within SNW sometime prior to end of year, it will get even more crazy and you may find the only way to access it will be with a express pass

After last year it would take something new and unexpected to consider going (and not just a Beetlejuice maze). Having had to pay last year for the first time in many years (with memberships losing access) and finding it the poorest both organisationally and engagingly in years as well, it’s left a real sour taste in my mouth

Had that exact same question and kept scrolling to see if there was an answer… but nope!

He was my Uber driver on Saturday night...
