Honestly, the way that it is post-Flyer, Sky Voyager’s not really an eyesore anymore. Yeah, it’d be better if it was themed with the rest of Main Street, but if anything were to be redone I’d vote Motocoaster much sooner than SV. I’m also hoping they do something with the Vintage Cars plot post-relocation. Something that entices guests to stay longer in that side of the park, like they’ve done with the Bilby Discovery Centre & nocturnal house reopening. Might be too niche or unlikely, but I’d love to see a well themed reptile house.

Spot the ‘Karen’: And no one’s saying what you can & can’t say/do, but if what you’re saying isn’t agreed upon, irrational, and/or easily explained against, the nature of literally any impartial public speak means there’ll be people who don’t agree and attempt to rationalise/explain it. It’s happened to literally everybody on here before, you’re not being oppressed. Welcome, and if you’re still pissed off about the forum not being a complete echo chamber, hope you find what you’re looking for.

You’re right, a bumpy plank ramp (aka ‘headache’ before rain, ‘slide’ after rain), with railings conveniently located at the exact head/neck height of a wheelchair user, is a much better decision than what they currently have.

Gold Coast Bulletin doesn’t offer a free trial, nor are any of its articles not hidden behind a paywall. Also, in the time it took you to type & post that, you could’ve easily screenshotted or copy-pasted the article.

Seriously, IMO it should at least be considered common courtesy to not post links to ‘news sources’ that’re paywalled atp. If it’s a relevant story that’s worth talking about, and you’re the only one with access to the article, it shouldn’t be too hard to just copy/screenshot the relevant portion & state the source’s name, instead of hinting at what’s relevant & linking the paywalled site.

100% forgot that the streams aren’t linked to the Key, cause it’s just the exact same thing they were trying to do with the Key, except isolated to TikTok & without the idiotic premise.

Which is fine in this case, ‘cause they’re the exact demographic to go for, as they’re the only group of people inept enough to buy into this obvious quick-buck NFT bullshittery. Like, even with these ‘new perks’, you’re getting the useless opportunity to purchase tickets (at no discount) 1 singular day early, to an event that won’t have any day sell out for at least another couple weeks, plus a nerfed version of the discount Dreamworld already bundles in with their passes. Apart from that, it’s just a rug pull like the rest of ‘em. You try build a community with ‘special Key holder-only streams’ & that, to make holders feel like their useless JPEG’s are special at an absolute minimum additional cost on your behalf. Then, once you’ve got the money you wanted from the endeavour, you dip ASAP, leave customers in the dust, and sink all the money into Doomsday’s 57th ‘unscheduled maintenance’ of the year, just to deliver inferior products in the future ‘cause you’re strapped for cash yet again. And the only people stupid enough to fall for it, are those who see their Facebook ads & ‘techy’ buzzwords and buy into their ‘future of thrills’ jargon, no questions asked. AKA, “boomers trying to be with the times”.

What does that actually mean, though? Like, they’ll be another roaming character in Main St?

I’m sorry, what? Preferring a better immediate view of the ride over a view of the Globe first is fine (though, I think the general consensus would be opposite, especially for social media purposes. And it’s worth noting that concept art is *art* depicting a *concept*, and therefore almost always differs from the final product), but I don’t even know what you’d need to be to use the accident as justification for wanting a slightly different viewing angle of an entirely unrelated ride.

Could be the case that it changed alongside a lot of other things in the park, then, when they switched ownership ~2020.

Yeah, figured that it was similar in reasoning to Superman, which they also generally just run the one train on now.

Sorry, and I’m guessing you’re just joking, but if you’re not then a better term’d be ‘experienced’. ‘Cause, while not explicitly making you ‘old’, being *older* means you’ve been attending the parks longer, and therefore could see them change & evolve much more than the younger user base has. I don’t remember Sea World having a SkyWay, I just remember them having a SpongeBob-themed main island. Don’t remember Viking’s Revenge, just their advertising for a SpongeBob 4D movie in the castle it was built on. Don’t remember Sea Viper, or Gremlins/LTRR @ MW, etc. Despite going there often when most of these existed, because I focused on other aspects due to my age, I just don’t remember them. All I know is that they existed, and the general thoughts about them, solely ‘cause of those that were lucky enough to experience it themselves. Anyway, did it used to run 2 trains commonly? And if so, roughly when did that stop, if you know?

I think I’ve seen it run 2 once, but it was a bit ago atp

I think the texture of the screen itself has just become much more noticeable.

Probably the exterior, merry-go-round facing wall shown here, which’ll serve as a sign for the ride, ‘station building’, and (hopefully, at least) a clear obstruction to differentiate Ocean Parade from Wiggles. Then again, at the same time they’re doing this, they’re moving the ‘Play School Wheel’ to be nestled right beside Serpent Slayer, so they may just not care.

Some relics from ABC Kids World seem to be being stored in a lot adjacent to Steel Taipan. Whether they’re there for repurposing, or they’re just waiting to be used for scrap & that’s a good dumping ground, idk.

I think the shame is moreso that the layout doesn’t have any visually appealing things around it in general, aside from it’s isolated rockwork tunnel. Yeah, maybe it’s not to be expected for parks to do that here, but there’s so many other Blue Fire clones out there with much more attention-to-detail given to their visual appeal than what Dreamworld gave ST. I’d even say that Rivals has it better off, but that’s just ‘cause they built it over nature instead of over concrete. Having the snake there permanently wouldn’t help it all too well, as it’s only really visible from the path to GD, & even there it looks cheap & tacky/temporary (especially during the day).

Again, can’t get a photo, but can see via Batwing that 2 black shipping containers are on site, and a lot of preparation groundwork has been/is being done. The crane is currently positioned rather close to the drill & containers, near the centre of the site.

Pretty sure I’ve seen Levi using both at least once, but i’d imagine they’ve got it operating similarly to that of JR, where 99.9% of the time they’ll rely on just the one.

Surely it couldn’t be worse than it was yesterday, as not only were they running 1 train, but the ride broke down 3 times & had to be evac’d at least once.

If the ride is made & detailed with the ability to do so in mind, though, it could work.

All that’s able to be seen of the interior is that they’ve got an almighty Dulux can onsite, and there’s a construction worker in there (at least, hopefully a construction worker, and not one of y’all). General update for the exterior, though, route of the path has become pretty clear (photos are from the very back corner of Ray Reef, for perspective). And the new fencing near the castle has been painted. Edit: Breaking News, measuring thingo is on site. This might be the most interesting thing to happen in the Gold Coast theme park scene since DCR.

Skypoint, but even then that’s a maybe. Reckon it’s more likely they’d just be dissolved into whoever wanted DW.

‘It’ being it’s style, as in how the ride looks, and due to the exact quote they released that started all this just being “mine-style family rollercoaster”. As in the ride model ‘Vekoma Mine Train’, not the ride’s train itself. Referring to the design of the track shown in the POV clip clearly trying to resemble that of a Vekoma Mine Train’s, with the added thematic cross ties.

The train isn’t in the video. When I mention it’s train, I mention the placeholder one they’ve been using for the testing of the inclined turntable.
