What about the other pieces which look to be apart of the building? I would like to believe JR isn’t 100% complete but who knows if that’s all DW are doing or if there is still more to be added. The water feature at the entrance where the Gem is lasted half a minute… and the second one… I’ve never seen it on yet.

I went on it last night. It was an awesome, nostalgic experience. She’s a little bit clunky but that’s expected for old carnival rides. I’m just grateful we still have one here in Australia. I took some videos and they let me record on the ride so I’ll post the link once I’m finished editing.

This hurts my soul so much to look at 😭 they have done such an incredible job with the area and then there’s the TOT building sticking out like a sore thumb. My suggestion if they are planning to keep it is paint it the go away green and put lots of trees in-front of it to try hide it better. Or just rip it down all together for more space.

As some wise people on here have once said before, just wait until the final result. There might be vines / something covering it to make it look more temple like. It’s not from the front anyway. At least it’s not a plain white shed… but in saying that, even with Levi being a plain white shed, it has been labeled as one of the best themed stations in the world so…

THIS! 🙌🏼 exactly why I haven’t renewed my pass. Couldn’t agree more. So here’s my 2 cents… that no one asked for 😂 I’m a GC local and always have both VRTP and DW / WWW yearly passes, however around September last year when the time came around to renewing, I couldn’t justify renewing my VRTP pass for a few reasons. Number one reason, price. I think $220 at the time was a bit extreme. With the recent GC deal over the holidays, I was considering getting it but I still don’t think it's worth it in the state the parks are currently in. I honestly found myself riding Levi at Sea World a lot of the time, compared to being at MW… which is saying something. VRTP needs to pull their finger out and put some TLC into their parks. That goes for repainting the slides at W&W 🫣🤢. I feel the magic and atmosphere is declining there (MW in particular) and it’s not the same as it used to be. There’s no sense of urgency, and that applies to a lot of things. Sounds like a lot of people on here feel the same way. It was also a big mistake to remove virtual queue. It made a lot more out of your day for what it was which also pulled me into going a lot more. I know some others on here have said similar so I won’t go into it. Maybe I’m biased for Dreamworld and always will be 🤷🏻♂️ but for the state and how things have been operating at VRTP…. Meh. I’ll give it until WOW, Scooby & Flash to open up and maybe reconsider. I’ve had a VRTP pass for roughly at least the past 15 years, but I got too annoyed with leaving feeling unsatisfied for the past few years and it’s just getting worse.

I was thinking this may be a possibility, but I hope not. To me it would kind of seem a waste to put it where there’s already a headchopper moment following it 2 seconds later. I could see the snake being put on the top of the tunnel, but it would seem a waste to put that other ring right before the tunnel? It would defeat the point of them adding another headchopper moment (if that’s what they are going for which is what it looks like) where it could be a lot more effective in a different position which is what I’m hoping for. My guess would be at the end of the launch run just before it goes vertical, similar to what blue fire has. I’m keen to see what happens and where it goes!

My memory is shocking, but there was no trim break on the first hill originally, then it was added at some point, I think right before it first opened? Would that have any effect? In terms of original building plans to then being potentially tweaked to add the break and as a result goes slower than originally planned? 🤔
