Should be great for new angles, at least until the path & bridge to Top Golf opens. -

Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster refurb
Whombex replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
As I've said elsewhere (in this thread?), I'd love to see the style of Mystery Inc, but classic cartoon is the way to go. I don't know if MW has the rights to anything bar the movie filmed at the studios. -
Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster refurb
Whombex replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
With talk of a significant update to SDSC coming (Parkz interiew with Clark Kirby), I was thinking.. the previous version of the ride I interpreted as Scooby getting so scared, he runs away from the haunted castle ride and the gang joins him at a party* instead. I'd kinda like to see a more involved plot, where they catch a monster and reveal the villain. So in the queue you get a story of a monster and meet a few characters who set the story up. The part of the ride up to the elevator is Daphne, Fred and Velma decide to go one way, Scooby Doo, Shaggy and you go another. The elevator is a trap the monster sets, and the wild mouse element is a chase scene you often see in the tv show, where the monster chases Scooby and Shaggy. The turntable and hairpin corners are you avoiding the monster, with audio in straights of Fred, Daphne and Velma setting a trap for the monster. You catch the villain and reveal their identity before the 'surprise drop'. Maybe keep the MXPX music for the disembark station/walkway to the gift shop. * Unless the wild mouse section was always meant to reference a 'chase' scene? -

Guessing the theming isn't ready yet, despite whoever's making it having what, 10 months to make it? -

If TPG's source is correct, it really is disappointing. -
Parkz News Dreamworld responds to Tiger Island footage

Big difference between conservation-promoting Tiger Island and breeding/destroying animals for the sole purpose of gambling. -

Bathurst broke the bank. I'll have to settle for going to the Parks instead. -

Not sure which thread was best, but here's a video from today as part of the lead up to the Supercars Gold Coast weekend. Some of the drivers got to ride a few laps, in various seats. @Jakev8 you might enjoy this as much as I did. -
I moused over, saw the url, had a guess it was that....and clicked it anyway.

In addition to the post by @themagicianon the post before this, TPG has reported and hinted (on her FB page) at theming going in around the bottom of the elevator. -
I really, really, want a motorcycle style coaster for this game. No reason...

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
Whombex replied to rappa's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Good enough to have it stand for all this time, taking only an ex-cyclone to damage it enough to trigger action. Also, was curious, but from the pic there is smoke sensors/alarms in the mountain. Cool.
