Was at WWW yesterday and I am disappointed to report that the 2 speed slides on fully 6 are still closed, there really doesn’t seem to be any plans to rectify this. It bothers me that they are still advertising it as 6 slides when 2 of them are seemingly permanently closed at this point. Was great to see triple vortex operating, my kids favourite. Everything was operating well except green room obviously and the slides on pipeline plunge annoyingly, pipeline plunge was open but the tower and slides weren’t, i wondered if this was a staffing issue as they require a lifeguard on the pipeline plunge slides.

Deepest apologies, just arrived at Seaworld and the info that guest services gave me online was incorrect. The team here were also great and assessed the injury clearing her for everything.

@New display name There is a little bit of disappointment, but its not hate. I dont hate. It’s constructive feedback. In my opinion, dreamworld do a better job in this department. In fact my original post was more about applauding Dreamworld for the experience we had which was really great!

They don’t have to do anything, the reality is dreamworld is willing to find a way to support guests riding rides that are low risk to injuries and village is not? Quite simple really.

Unfortunately this isn’t the case for limb injuries, I have attached the screen shot from Seaworld guest services chat when I enquired

Another way Dreamworld is crushing the competition: Ride inclusivity Daughter has a brace from a wrist injury, Seaworld was a blanket no for everything, even gentle rides. I am assuming its the same at Movieworld. Dreamworld uses common sense and only restricts certain rides due to intensity and/or plausibility of riding. The nurse at Dreamworld provided my daughter with a ride access pass that allows her to ride everything except ST, Giant Drop and Dodgems. Village need to step it up.

Unplanned maintenance on Superman this week, scheduled to open again 30th June

Based on what? Objectively I think its quite possible. Its a relatively small financial investment with little footprint and they would upcharge up the wazoo for it.

At the park today and did try doing some speculation with some of the staff around the park who really dont have much of an idea at all at what it might be. The most recent video tease does highlight a comment asking about a giant drop climb and 2 of the crew members I talked to seemed to think thats what it will be, the third I spoke to just thinks it will be king claw date announcement. One of them teased me by saying its an RMC 😆 I am honestly willing to put money on it being the giant drop climb, there are too many signs pointing towards this now.

To me this little tease in the comment section screams new attraction

Imagine if Dreamworld just suprises the hell out of everyone and announces southern hemispheres first giga coaster out of nowhere. I 100% know this wont happen but can you imagine if it was????

Yeah that makes sense, I didn’t realise they were working on the second train. Overall a really well run night, the rain once again did make it difficult with a number of rides struggling in the conditions. Taipan was really struggling with keeping up the demand in the rain. But even with a huge line, single train and a breakdown that extended an hour we still only waited 2 hours for tailwhip including the breakdown. Proving that Dreamworld is still absolutely winning in the ride operation department. The dedication to guest satisfaction just continues to amaze me at Dreamworld, staff always seem to go above and beyond and I really do think Dreamworld is in a really good place at the moment.

There at the moment, rain is a bummer but we are making the most of it. who the hell decided one train operations for Steel Taipan? The tailwhip line is as long as what general entry normally is.

I am hyped for some decent body slides tbh. Hopefully these pack a bit more speed than super ripper and faulty 6

On the topic of fully 6, are they crazy slow or is it just me? When I was there it seemed like almost every person was absolutely crawling down the slides.

My prediction is they will remove wedgie and I actually think they will remove slides 2 and 3 and rebrand fully 6. I cant see them reopening them tbh. I really don’t want another wedgie just sitting there being an eyesore season after season

Visited WWW yesterday for the first time since 2010! Wow where has the time gone? I think it was definitely a wise choice to focus on DW first, it was in a much worse state and WWW although its not perfect its still ‘good enough’ to put on the back burner while they focused on the main park. The Green Room is still the superior slide imo and I enjoy it more than Tornado at WnW. The rip really struggles to keep a moving line and you get the feeling it really needs triple vortex firing to keep it from being blown out. Temple of Huey tower is still great with something for everyone. The bro is still awesome, and being a bit heavier I get some serious speed on him, always fun. Fully 6 was a little disappointing, if only the tubes were a little faster. 2 and 3 look fun, and it leaves a sour taste knowing they will probably never reopen. Another chill people mover like a family tube ride like mammoth falls and a lazy river would be the first investments I would be looking at for new attractions. They really need to remove Wedgie, being a slide that aesthetically trumps everything thats open and is permanently closed is just a bit of a let down. A bar closer to cave of waves would be a really good move, bit more like the WnW set up. A facelift on cave of waves to improve theming would also be awesome. Looks cheap and dated up close. Finally returning the back gate near gold coaster for easy park hop would be awesome. Considering their main marketing for WWW is two worlds in one day it makes little sense to make guests exit DW to enter WWW. This would be great if they ever decide to return ocean parade to its former glory and have a nice transition from that into WWW.

Rode both yesterday, first time with Africa and 2nd time Australia Africa is light years better in almost every way. It is more immersive, more entertaining, more cultural, and ultimately more fun. It felt a lot closer to the calibre of ride that I was originally hoping for when I first rode Sky Voyager. In fact it was the first time I have felt truly immersed in this style of attraction outside of Disneyland. I really hope DW continue to mix it up and maybe bring us some other destinations too. As much as I appreciate what Sky Voyager Australia brings as a showcase of our beautiful country, particularly for visiting international guests, the experience itself just doesn’t quite hit the mark compared to Africa. On another note, was really great to see full carparks and long lines at DW, all the work they are putting in to improve the park is really paying off and I hope they continue injecting life into it.

Came on here to vent about another frustrating day today with MovieWorlds operations but lets be real its nothing that hasn’t been said on this forum a hundred times already so Ill just say yep, they still suck and nope, I wont stop attending because I love Rivals too much.

Oh my bad I didn’t actually realise this, but it still makes me wonder though. They certainly don’t clear the park out. Would have been pretty easy just to stay in. yep agree we actually had a really good night operations on Levi were actually really good!

There at the moment. I must say one thing that is really bugging me is lots of guests who don’t have wristbands who clearly just stayed from the day. Im all for cutting costs but its a bit of a slap in the face to those who have purchased tickets to see the staff not really care or police it.

Finally made my way today, and while it was nice to see village put some effort into an IP other than DC i feel it overall falls short of expectations. Theming is subpar, there are a few elements that are ‘good’ but I don’t really see a 100million investment here. They did a far superior job with leviathan. It really is just more a glorified ride que than an actual precinct. A shop, maybe a restaurant and more walk through elements would have dramatically lifted it. I do like the choice of rides, they fill a much needed void in the lineup for something between roadrunner and scooby. I think both rides are great for the demographic. I love the wicked witch coaster but the theming was underwhelming, the que area needs shade and the operations were horrendus. I was averaging 5 minute dispaches today. Overall its good, the park needed it. But it could have been done so much better

I mean its clearly wicked witch but my goodness the operations and dispatches are attrocious. Was timing cart in to cart out dispatches today and was averaging 5minutes.

Pretty sure I see a ‘new theme park for Melbourne’ speculation every year. Until I see an application I am not convinced this will happen. Be awesome if it did

To be honest I am a lot more concerned with the state of operations and dispatch times then I am about what the ride ops are wearing
