I had considered a haunted mine themed omnimover in Goldrush, but yeah, I agree with you. DW won't put anything in along that path for a while.

I guess it all hinges on Goldrush remaining the theme in the area it stood. The talk last year was of the Dark Ride replacing Eureka. I think an Omnimover could work in either a new building in Goldrush, or Brock's Garage. Could the Avis Vintage Cars be used somewhere else in a Dark Ride (electrically powered if indoors)? We can't expect anything as grandiose as Indiana Jones, but this could certainly add to their way of "going in a different direction to MW's DC Rivals".

Did you get to ride backwards too?

Nope. If they're in your head, we need to now funnel all our hopes for the park into you! 😁

The new building will be the work of pure imagination...?

Great to hear you were able to enjoy your visit! Rivals is certainly an awesome ride.

Roachie I thought you said in the Longhurst interview thread, that Hollywood House was removed, and some wood was salvaged and used in the BB cafe?

It's quite easy to see it sliced up into a residential estate. Oran Park, a motor racing circuit in South Sydney, was bought by developers and made into an estate. As a token gesture, some streets were named after famous drivers. I can see that being done with Dreamworld. Thunderbolt Chase, Billabong Crescent, Rocky Hollow Road, Eureka Street...

There used to be a policeman that entertained people in the vintage cars (when it was where MDMC is today). In addition to @Roachie posting about a themed final room in GD, there was a movie about the disaster on the Oil Rig that played before you went to the ride room. Tower of Terror had an elevator system to get you to the ride (and better immersive queue theming) before the stairs were put in, back when the ride entry was on the western side of the building. Remote controlled boats.

Looks like the collection is to be auctioned off individually. 😥

Haven't done LA, and have only done Universal/Islands of Adventure in Orlando. Considering you're doing this as a 'once in a lifetime' and you're parks enthusiasts, I suggest Orlando. - Disney World is almost a whole trip in itself, well discussed elsewhere on this forum. - Universal/Islands of Adventure. - International Drive area (which includes a Sea World). - NASA over at Cape Canaveral to the East. - Busch Gardens just over an hour south in Tampa Bay. I don't envy your decision. As posted in this thread, LA offers so much as well.

I disagree. Selling it and having the new owner invest in it and attract visitors to the precinct sounds pretty good. Especially if the 'precinct' runs from WNW to MW and includes the hotels/etc. Of course, VRTP needs money for those investments, too! Hard if current sales are raising funds for debt reduction only.

It'll be very very close. They may have to 'staple' you, so don't be upset if they can't fit you in. The RideOps don't judge. As Flynn says, try the test seat.

One way MDMC could work in that shed is to theme inside to an outdoor race track (Surfer's Paradise Supercars style?) with a fake sky, and change the trains to cars. ...just being whimsical.

I understand your sentiment, but Piss Weak World was part of The Late Show.

My apologies. I completely mistook your post as a comment made to you by a rideop at the park.

Suggest you redact their name to protect them, Janine. Quite likely DW are reading this thread.

It's opening weekend, and every second person would be making video/photos to share on social media. Pretty sure the staff are okay with this. All good.

Thanks for the video, but a suggestion: your panning is a bit too fast. I had to pause occasionally just to see what you were getting a shot of.

The rides in the background are your clue. When you enter the kids area, turn right.

Sounds good! But please, charge that phone.

Looks like a menu you'd need a few visits to sample much of. I look forward to trying those sliders and burgers. Pricey but that's to be expected. No ciders on any of the drinks pages? I know Top Golf are an American brand, but come on. 'Fountain' is a water display (and sometimes garden).

Good incentive for all the passholders whose pass expires Jun30 to renew. ...can we rename the park DC World yet?

Visited today, and next to the castle I asked a staff member where a nearby water dispenser/bubbler was. Reply was that "there was one near Shark Bay, but it's gone.." So, there's no longer any water source apart from the restroom taps? Park map shows no other dispenser? Over at MW there's 4...

Back to the Future re-theme confirmed. 🤣
