In saying that's, politicians going off early and half cocked isn't a rarity. Hopefully whatever it is he's been made privy of actually comes to fruition!

Loved Dragons Flight, would happily see a similar ride at any of our theme parks (be it a larger version of the DW one).

Does it really matter? Themeing first, ride first, building both in unison, doesn't it really matter that they are all together in time for the advertised opening?

I don't know if there is such a thing as an 'adult' tame ride. You'll find family rides that are non-thrill rides that cater that group.

A snap of some of the comments after the counsellors FB page... $100,000,000 in investments? That's a lot...

like what though? Most rides have an element of height, as height = thrill, and in some cases speed. Shockwave isn't high, I can think of too many other flats that don't involve height, save for kids rides of course Laser tag arena's are cost prohibitive if not bringing in constant revenue. The guns & vests are a maintenance nightmare. It wasn't over popular, it's existence certainly wasn't bringing additional visitation or revenue to the park, so the costs of maintaining, and staffing become unnecessary for the small number of people utilising it. Don't forget Ardent owns M9 which is located within 25mins of the park (both north & south). They were potentially also canabalising that business as with growing world pass holder numbers in SE Qld, M9 would have been losing revenue with people getting their skirmish fix at DW.

First time I've ever seen Willy Wonka when I visited yesterday (Friday). Didn't know they portrayed him in park. Dorothy I've seen a handful of times, all this year, never had seen her prior to then

There was a lot of drilling etc coming from WWF today, but obviously cannot see anything with the partition being so far back down the area. incident during HWSD - one of the Utes blew something, smoked up the entire arena to point you couldn't even see the video screen. Was only midway through the show, once the smoke cleared they played the 'trailer' which referenced many parts of the show (the race, fireball etc) that didn't actually happen, and then the show finished. The actors/crew did a great job tbh, and if you hadn't previously seen the show you probably wouldn't have realised you missed anything

Given it was confirmed at the time of announcement that it will have an external entrance, and no only be open to DW visitors, I think it's safe to say it Will be going in and around the marketplace area somewhere

Not much new to see today. Few photos anyway

Should have got a membership, proper plastic card.

It's awesome that Belinda has surprised us all today with coming onboard and answering quite a lot of questions honestly and frankly for us. surely the best way we can show our gratitude & encourage Belinda to continue to engage with this medium is to actually read the previous questions & Answers before posting, so she is not bombarded with 5 of the same questions, minutes after just answering it...

Actually, to un-creepify, it should be "this was before you could google, kids."

Which in a perfect world they would and could do, but in the realism of our theme park environment and the constraints of our parks capex for new rides, as Rappa pointed out, it can be a massive expense that inhibits it occurring

Really don't believe it will be a shop, given we currently have DC merch available in 5 other locations, including 2 specialised stores.

Nobby chick?

They condensed Wolf Creek 2 down well last year, and I don't think Evil Within suffered from losing anything on the previous year, in fact I felt it had less 'down' periods in the 2015 layout

You mean like how there is no need for pointless posts like 'I saw a tree over a wall'.. i struggle to think of single maze with the exception of Film Vault that hasn't included trees in some capacity.. In breaking news, new wall is found on other side of already established wall..

I heard during manufacturing that the additional R&D funds needed to get that independent switch operational was instead diverted into wheel bogey reinforcements... Safety over Aesthetics.. Of course..

Oh cool! I was really hoping they'd make a maze this year based on 'Death Trees from Planet X'. Such a great flick!

I look forward to my first 'audio enabled' ride on Monday then...

And you called my comment rude! Haha

By all accounts the area will be highly interactive
