    They have done a good job with the marketing, the jabs at Village are funny and the former Ardent, hopefully they can keep it up It may not be something big like Jungle Rush but at least its a good replacement for the former Claw

    Where are they going to get the space to put it if it is 2 times larger? It will require a much larger footprint, wouldn’t something have to go?

    Interesting. I can see it being waterslides given they did rides in 2022 and haven't added any in 5 years, I know the water area is very popular so they would want more to space out the crowds. Going to be an exciting day for Gumbuya's new attraction and King Claw tomorrow. I have to agree, they are in two different locations with very minimal overlap in attendance. Most of Australia knows what Dreamworld is and they get visitors from different state, while mostly Victorians would visit Gumbuya.

    I love how you can see all the coasters (excl. Scooby and Road Runner) from that angle, shame it likely wont be open to visitors

    From what I am hearing apparently the show is being produced at Docklands in Melbourne. Most likely in a warehouse or something? I know the Costco near The District is closing soon, maybe there?

    I am surprised they have that small bit of fence there from ABC Kids World, you can see it near the end of the video

    The problem with that is the studios will likely be full, from my understanding the studios would likely be filled up in advance as some films use all the stages. They would have to build a new one exclusively for Big Brother, which would cost a lot.

    considering we got Kenny's dreamland and Rivertown at the same time, I wouldn't put it out of question. Possibly a replacement for Claw and a new coaster possibly?
  9. TBoy
    Looks to be a new Gyro Model replacing Claw, I assume Dreamworld are the first to buy it and Intamin will put it on offer to others.

    Another bot is here unfortunately above me, hopefully mods can sort it out

    For some reason it really sticks out to me, you have this immersive land with the Leviathan queue and the statues/gardens and then you have that white shed. Surely they could've painted it green or dark blue so it sticks out less? As I said, at least Dreamworld are making the building green that mixes in with the trees around the show building, they could've done a Village where the white shed sticks out like a sore thumb.
  12. TBoy
    And at least they have made the shed green which blends in with the trees behind it (cough cough Village). Its not the best, but its better than a white shed.

    Hope the trainer is alright and isn't hurt that bad "A person fell over at Dreamworld today. This comes after an accident on the Thunder River Rapids Ride in October 2016 where 4 were killed"

    So now 3 bots. Bloody hell where are they all coming from
  15. TBoy
    If I had a nickle for how many bots we have had here in the past week, I'd have two. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it has happened twice. Looking at the person's posts they both look AI Generated, it gives me that vibe that a robot is writing it and not a real human

    I've been thinking about this one specifically for a bit and it would be a good fit. It doesn't take up much room so land shouldn't really be an issue, and it would provide an experience that the whole family can enjoy. For themes I was thinking Beetlejuice, its a classic that is still enjoyed 36 years on. Possibly do a madhouse based on the dinner party scene?

    If this is the case possibly they could have the show inside the Showstage? The construction could be them restoring it as it hasn't been used in 10+ years.
  18. TBoy
    That is really interesting to see, I can't believe the infostructure for Blue Lagoon and even one of the slides is there after this long, looks like the area right now is being used as a tip for signs etc. for lands that have been removed

    Good idea, I think this would be good for the park as they haven't added a large-scale thrill coaster since 2017. If B&M is too expensive, what about Gerstlauer dive coaster like Hangtime at Knotts? It can fit into a small space and has a less expensive manufacturer, and also seems to have good reviews. Have the entrance where Showcase entered and have an indoor queue and station, before the lift hill takes you outside and the main layout is in the former Doomsday area

    I had an idea of using the area behind Scooby/WWF for a new land connected to WWF and WoO, but the problem would be it requiring studio buildings to be relocated onto the grass field next to the stages. I made a concept a few months ago, it would include a lake, food stands and two rides, a dark ride themed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and a Vekoma Madhouse themed to Beetlejuice.
  21. TBoy
    I personally would like to see them gut the showstage and use that, maybe have a land with a flat outside and a dark ride inside the showstage?
  22. TBoy
    I'm not sure something will be able to fit there due to the size of the area, by the looks of it it seems to be turned into a path Another point, where could the parks expand? You have spare room at Dreamworld but the Village parks, especially Movie World, are landlocked. What about building a Mini-Citywalk where the carpark is right now and building a multi-story one on the overflow? If there is a flood risk maybe try to build 1 story higher than ground. It also gives people something to do at night while staying at the MW Hotel. Have a day at Movie World, have tea in one of the restaurants, go to TopGolf, then go back to the hotel. If you add buses to Sea World, then you have MW, SW, WnW, Paradise Country, CityWalk, AOS, TopGolf and the hotel which means people staying on-site without leaving, therefore all the money goes to Village.

    What I am saying is I think Sea World will likely be the next to get something big, you can promote New Atlantis for a few years but as things like Rivertown and WoO start to open, the hype is going to die down and people would go to the other parks which are getting capex. I could possibly see some low cost stuff come, but as both Coast/Village are opening big lands, chances are we wont see anything massive as we only see large scale investments every 2-3 years.

    With Flash/Dreamland open WOZ and Rivertown to open in the next few months, we soon will have all the lands announced for the parks. The question is, what is next for our parks in the next few years? For 2025 I can unfortunately see it be the first year in some time without any new rides for our parks. Village and Coast both just spent $50m+ each on WOZ/Rivertown/Flash/Dreamland, and they will need to recoup the cost before spending on anything new. Overall the only significant thing will be the Scooby refurb. Based on a 2-3 year gap between new areas for each park, I can see Dreamworld possibly investing in something for 2026, but I have a feeling they wont go for a whole new land this time, either an individual flat ride or coaster. I can see Village go to Sea World for investments this time, they seem to alternate where one park gets the main investment for new rides while advertising the previous investments at the other park. It was MW's turn from 2016-2018 (Doomsday, DCR) Sea World's turn from 2019-2022 (New Atlantis) and now it is MW's turn again with Flash/WoO, so based on that Sea World will probably be next for capex.

    I wonder where the Nintendo World entrance will go? I've heard rumours that the area with the stage and billboard is temporary and will get replaced when Nintendo opens, not sure if that's true
