So do the tests prior to opening. It was running at screamworld last night!

It's been advertised as Opening today for 4 weeks on Tv, Radio and press. Sea FM is even broadcasting out the front telling people it's opened today and come down.

At DW, ride attendants telling ppl the ride is not open as it needs testing and should open later this afternoon after 12. ....BUT.... The ride is cycling with people on it and has been all morning. It seems DW staff and friends/family are allowed thru to ride but general pubic being sent away. Absolutely poor Job DW. A lot of disappointed ppl here. Do they think we are stupid saying it's Closed for Testing when we can see it cycling with people on it??!!

There's your proof jjuttp. Bit hard to take a photo with an iPhone at night or a dark ride whilst driving past at 100km an hour

Just drove past, ride is up and running at Screamworld tonight. Obviously brought the launch forward

Any other day this week and my partner and I would have been there. Unfortunately have a work conference til 5:30 Hope it's a great event and we can make it to the next one

i can see the frustration from Tracey's perspective, but at the end of the day Safety is 100% paramount at all times, especially in the leisure industry where safety standards are monitored closely and accidents and/or mortality leave a lasting negative public perseption, regardless of cause or fault, which result in decreased visitation. I think Cameron did the absolute most he could in refunding 50% of the VIP pass price and explaining the legality and regulations that apply since the incident in the US. The disappointing thing for me is that despite Cameron's and MW's best efforts, Ms Barrell has made the decision to run to the media and cause an uproar that did not need to happen. She has purposefully done this to tarnish MW/WVTP reputation and tried to paint them with the discrimination brush - which certainly isnt just or fair given what has occurred. To be honest i think in doing show she has shown herself to be of poor character and morals. I feel for her circumstances, but being a paralypian, a priest or a president doesnt allow you to bypass the safety systems that are created to keep you safe and the leisure operater in business!

Whilst you may be 100% correct re: it being Green Lantern and creating a Justice League area in the park, there is absolutely no way in the conceivable world that the cinematic release of Green Lantern in Australia was delayed in order to have the DVD release timed to the opening of the ride. That is about as far fetched an idea as i've ever heard.

On a busy weekend or school holidays there is some merit to getting them, but if you are going on a weekday (non school holiday) you are just wasting money. I went on Friday last week and apart from about a 20min wait on TOT2 i didnt wait longer than 5 mins for any ride. Dreamworld isnt THAT big that you cant get everything seen/done in a regular day.

hopefully it is indeed Riddler themed Green Lantern was a fail of a movie, and there is no sequel planned. Would be a weird choice basing a brand new signature ride on a single unspectacular movie when you could incorporate it into the Batman themed area and to a worthwhile and long lasting (ever lasting for that matter) theme

so is the assumption that the final ride once open will only be doing one full rotation??

Couldn't take a pic as it was too dark, but just drove past and the track is now complete!!!

would be good if there was some small change just to refresh the ride a little

Whilst i do agree they need new attractions, something which they are currently working on, if you had checked the website you would have seen that Wild West Falls has had scheduled maintenance booked in for this period since early in the year - if it is your fav ride you should have worked around the annual maintenance dates. Im hoping as it is down for over a month that they may be freshening up some of the themeing.

What I meant was he seems to be inferring more than just the sept attraction by using plural, and also mention parks as opposed to park. Sorry if I didn't get my pt across properly, some of u guys are quick to jump!

He may not get much say in it what rides the park gets, but doubt he'd mention they are getting them unless true

Just drove past MW and never in my 5 yrs living on the GC have I seen it so busy. The carpark had spilled over onto the grass between MW and Outback Spectacular and all the grassed area at the front of the park was full

Amazing photography and that video is almost haunting So sad to see a park so derelict and beyond repair Brings back memories of wonderland going, hard to believe that was over 7yrs ago now!

Given the current DA and approval for a Batman Retail shop, one would hazard a guess IF they are indeed building a new ride, that it will be Batman themed in some way.

do share... if you have info, let us in on some of it

Agreed

Again I disagree with what your saying but let's just let it go.

Not sure if it would specify type to be honest As DW is obviously a landmark tourist destination, they basically get immediate approval for anything within their grounds. Hence why the application was lodged and then approved within a week whereas any other development takes 6months. But seeing as this said "disk o kids ride' I guess we could see it specified. Ill be checking back every week or so and seeing when something gets added
