Got a ride on Justice League yesterday. The guns worked! Pretty much all of the effects seemed to be working too (except the Flash wind effect). One taped off vehicle though:

Super excited to (hopefully) get that Leviathan night ride!

Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
Ogre replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Honestly? Not really. But I think it still matters. Having as many attractions as possible open while keeping the queues as low as possible will help keep guest satisfaction up and increase the chance of return visits / positive word of mouth. Also good to be ready if they find themselves in a position where it *does* matter. It all adds up. -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
Ogre replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yeah, creates a few eye sores here and there but it helps with capacity and ride availability. I guess one trumps the other. Hrmm, speaking of which... maybe the Madagascar section will remain open while they work on the Shrek / KFP areas. Makes sense with the new Parent's Centre being there - looks like that could open relatively soon. They probably don't need to close the area to get the re-theming done, as the two current attractions are (supposedly) only getting minor re-themes. -
Something's not quite right... .... so anyway. Yeah, I hope the Boats come back!

(Didn't see a dedicated thread, so here we are!) The Dreamworks Store transformation into the new Parent's Centre is well underway \ Escape from Madagascar's Ride Sign has been removed The "Beware of Ogres" sign has also been removed by Shrek, leaving a hole. Semi related- watched the Wiggles show and Kenny and Belinda seem to have a new look: A couple weeks ago:

Closer to Scooby; if you can do that you can probably do Leviathan. I'm in the early 110kgs with a pretty large waist and was able to fit, but it felt close.

I visited the park tonight for White Christmas and JL was down for tech issues. Not sure if it reopened.

The ride was down for most of the afternoon, but finally got back up and running around 5pm. The staff said they'd make sure everyone in the (long) queue would all get a ride, which was great to see. I got a back row ride this time (rode on the middle row before) and the experience was significantly better. Very, very fun. I didn't really notice the airtime before, but this time I did! Can't wait to ride it at night at Carnivale. That thing is likely going to haul like crazy at the end of a hot day!

Sea World Monorail removed from website and park map

\ With New Atlantis opening the signs have been updated. -
Just came off. Loved it! Felt a little slow though so looking forward to trying it later as it warms up. The theming in the station was terrific and gives me high hopes for Wizard of Oz. I'd go as far as saying it was world class. Have to be careful that it doesn't fall into disrepair like Scooby. One borked screen would ruin it. Edit: There is a test seat. It's to the left right as you enter the main queue.

Yes, it has been successful. I meant from a branding perspective. I'm sure there were a few people who questioned why the market was being held at a closed theme park with seemingly no other relation. You go in and see more Dreamworld than Moonlight. The new branding makes a lot more sense for sure. Also opens the possibility of opening other rides (Steel Taipan) during the market down the line which is exciting.

Don't they usually make prototypes before they sell to parks? You never know though...

Interesting. I guess trying to keep it separate from Dreamworld branding wise wasn't working too well.

I like the perspective of that shot haha Uh-oh! -

Leviathan and Trident are both now on the app and park map! Leviathan is now listed as "Max thrill" with Trident being "Moderate, Max" - what ever that means. -

Hopefully with New Atlantis about to open (the supposed reason it closed) we'll find out what their plans are. -
The New Atlantis - Construction Updates
Ogre replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Trident was testing a lot today. Not Leviathan though. Ride sign looks great! There's a themed Sea World logo behind the crane Cast members with Big Boy. Work is progressing on the Dockside Tavern. Look at the floor! A new themed pillar near the tavern and new lockers! Merchandise is here! Leviathan surprise egg toys. Didn't expect that... \ This was a nice surprise! -
Does that mean they reopen on the 1st, or is that the last day of maintenance? How do VRTP usually do it?

The New Atlantis - Construction Updates
Ogre replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Nice to finally see a POV! Hope we get a one with a normal aspect ratio soon. Looked like an empty train in the video. We need one done after a full day of operations with a full train - now that would look a bit different! I don't think the dome is a water feature. It's more for shade in the queue and a lite bit of theming. -
Based the small amount of POV footage It seems to resemble the upcoming Big Bear Mountain coaster at Dollywood more than a Mine Train. Even the theming on the trains is similar!

Very exciting stuff! Like the look of the Wave Swinger. Haven't been a fan of the water area since they put in the globe. Using the space for a potentially iconic attraction makes a lot of sense. Based on the concept art the "Dreamworld Theatre" seems to be going in the Madagascar shop. Didn't expect KFP to become an Ocean Parade expansion haha Big Red Roller Coaster! Vintage Cars getting moved - again! Jungle Rush looks really interesting. Ride wise I think they've beaten Wizard of Oz on this front haha you're right!
