Do you think this has something to do with that guy who injured his shoulder cause he let go and hurt himself. The ride has opened since then but it seems to have a lot of down time after that incident.

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Exactly why I'm sick of Village and their bullshit. I haven't had a good experience at One of their parks in ages unless its completely empty. its why I cancelled my annual pass and go to Dreamworld where I actually enjoy myself -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Ever since Wild West Falls got the new boats it's been unreliable Aswell. Do you guys think they will keep the ride and just keep refurbishing it or do you think its years are numbed with the new attractions coming. -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It seems that way, but they can easily relaunch it Like I know it's not the same but Tower of Terror and TO2 they just modify the name but a different ride. -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Let's just say they did get rid of the Green Lantern ride Is the next ride they put in going to be themed Green Lantern or would they change it? theoretical question what do you guys think. -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I know green lantern has unique trains that holds more people than the other El Locos so maybe this comes with more issues and prolonged maintenance. Maybe but it gets good ques for it and positive feedback. -
I'm not trying to join the bandwagon of people hating on village. But I generally dislike a lot of the staff members there the guest services however are great when virtual que wasn't working for me and it became full when it did work, they gave me a pass to skip the line on any ride of my choice and she was super friendly. My worst experience was a couple team members at the Wild West Falls where I asked if the ride Might reopen later because it broke down one of them said get lost. I was infuriated to say the least it's not like I was being rude or anything. I understand that they probably get asked that question multiple times but with how much people pay to go there even annual pass holders should be treated far better. I didn't complain but I probably should have. Also, a lot of the ride ops look like they hate their jobs which I'm sure we all do at times but it's not good to show it off because it makes the vibe negative and that is opposite to what a theme park is all about. Has anyone else had negative experiences because of staff members?

Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?
STRAWS replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It has to do with a lot of factors 1 being the theming before they added the corny music and the random screens it always made me more pumped to ride it. I also loved the roaring sound it made it added a lot to the atmosphere of the park. I loved the speed of the ride When I first went on it for the first time, I didn't expect it to go backwards. The feeling of weightlessness and facing straight down as it came back down the tower was so fun. I loved the adrenaline rush it caused. DC Rivals is a great coaster don't get me wrong, but it has never given me the same adrenaline pump as TO2. TO2 is a short 1 trick pony ride but even in the later stages of its life not going as fast etc. it was still a great ride which I never got tired of riding. I just don't get the same buzz from other rides. Might just be me 🤣I hope this explained why It's my favorite. I would love to hear what you guys think about what I said hopefully I explained it well. -
Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?
STRAWS replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I loved the To2 so much I know a lot of people will disagree, but I think it's far better than DC Rivals even if it's a 1 trick pony. -
Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?
STRAWS replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
talking about Movie World losing its magic look at this Credit Thats so mid This is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. I know it school holidays and it will be busy, but this isn't even safe with how many people they have let in imagine they had to do an evacuation. Also 3-hour ques for the rides Village may be pocketing the money now but Movie worlds reputation is going to plummet. they need to limit the numbers. Dreamworld is so much more fun to be at not just because of the ques but the staff are so much better to. -
I would love to see them to open Giant Drop at nighttime for the night views. Even though I'm a annual pass holder already I would be happy to pay extra to ride it at night.

Greg, you offer nothing to this forum you're a ghost who pops in and out no one respects you because you're not a regular and all you say is dumb shi#. Moving on all though I do like browsing through dreamworld golden years but as @webslavesaid and many others there use to be more anti Dreamworld there for you have no idea what you are on about.
-
So true would you agree that the Giant Drop is the scariest ride in the gold coast and probably even the whole of Australia. I love the short ques on it.

Dreamworld launches online Merch store
STRAWS replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yeah, I have been doing it since 2014 it was still doing 160 kph then right. I know it did get slowed down with time but it was still my favorite ride even when it did go down hill. -
White Water World has removed the wedgie from the website. it's been closed for 2 years now. They have done a silent removal and sign for it in park has been scraped Aswell I believe. What are your guy's thoughts?

I agree I have 2 of the Tower of Terror Mugs because they were so good. I miss To2. My favorite ride ever. -
I'm thinking of becoming a Ride Operator
STRAWS replied to HyprCoastr19's topic in Theme Park Discussion
@HyprCoastr19You sound exactly like I do I'm glad I'm not alone the only input I can give is that the rides are fail safe so if the seatbelt doesn't lock correctly the ride won't start until they all have. Hopefully this help -
Oh really that's interesting maybe there replacing something or the track got damaged.

Calls for Light Rail extension to Movie World, Sea World
STRAWS replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I agree and the way Village put this out shows more about how money hungry they are then improving guest experience. If Village priority was to improve guest experience with public transportation, they would be the ones paying not just asking taxpayers and the government to pay for it for them. Definitely didn't use their brains here. -
I'm, pretty sure I Rember Greg Yong stating that the cave would be dark during when it was being built so what's the thinking behind the windows? it's a wasted Opportunity because apart from the near mis element it adds nothing else.
