STRAWS

This isn't really needed. Yes, it does tick some boxes, but I feel like it's too similar to the Claw and SX360 at Aussie world. Yes, it's a different ride will have different sort of g-forces but is it good enough to bring in numbers. To me this is my opinion the ride just looks like a dud for their lineup it doesn't even need to be a unique design, but they will want to offer something that's different enough to Dreamworld lineup but still be reliable enough which they ultimately failed with for Dooms Day.

I see your point However, the sign is also total bs and not the reason at all. I'm just not happy with movie world operations at all its complete and utter lazy on their part. At least with Dreamworld they are putting in the effort to be a better Park. Movie World can't even fix a screen on the Wild West Falls it's been broken for 2 years. it's the small things which make a park from good to great. And this pr stunt is poor. This sign is pathetic there not kidding anyone.

I didn't think it was worth starting a new forum for this question but has Steel Tipan ever had a rollback and not made it over on the 3rd launch. I'm only asking because I have seen this happen on Superman Escape all the time.

Oh yeah that makes sense. Thank you @DaptoFunlandGuy for your response👍. I can see why as well those metal cables would go crazy during windy nights and maybe even damage the tower over. time.

Does anyone know why at the end of the day they send the catch car that takes the ride up to the top of the tower and leave it there every night but the Gondola where people sit stays at the bottom of the tower. I'm just curious.

So, it locks on to something on the tower and the mechanism of it drops you?

I can do any ride no problem but the only one which actually makes me nervous is the Giant Drop just the height and how it hangs you up there without telling you when you will drop the suspense of it I what makes it a great ride and that drop is insane.

I just think movie world need to cap the limit of people coming in its just not enjoyable when its 3-hour ques for everything.

Yeah my heart stopped thank god my mate had a defriblator so I'm alive and well 😉

@Ashley JefferyYou made me die of laughter ha-ha I mean yeah get rid of it already get a new flat ride something like the claw but different and something that might be open for more than a week and not closed 360 days of the year.

@themagicianShould we celebrate this record-breaking occasion anyone else agree?.

I love theming but I don't really mind this font sure its simple maybe a bit bland but at least its visible and not hard to make out.

I went today it was a 45-minute wait it would be really nice if both sides were open especially for school holidays

When I went there was no air conditioning in the que line either with the black paint its going to be a oven in summer I really hope they add some.

Do you think dreamworld should do a parade like MW but something different where they don't need floats but are interactive using licensed characters like they have a deal with bluey right? they could even just hire people like Goldie the clown or the Barber shop quartet even if it's only for the peak times. I know they do simlar things especially night markets, so it seems unlikely but maybe in the future.

Are they doing a night event for Winter Fest this year with rides open?

Winter Fest at Dreamworld has been announced.

Qantas outsource because it works out better for them in the industry. it's stupid to compare that to the Movie Wolrd maintenance team as why would they pay more to outsource when they could hire full time people for cheaper. It wouldn't work out unless they could cut a deal with full time contractors but for them to see this as worth it I highly doubt, they would go to extreme lengths to make this happen.

Its a argument over a possible upside-down M why are you making it a big deal.

Movie World considers themself as a theme park but the current focus involving the uniform and allow for degrading theming is like there transforming into an amusement park even when that isn't there focus when the effort for it stops it downgrades the experience Especially for enthusiasts like us. Yeah, and they also let decommissioned rides and areas standing for ages then do a quiet removal for example Arkham not only did they close it without telling anyone, but they let is stand for over a year which isn't a good look.

Movie World has got into the trend of cutting corners losing the themed uniform is poor also considering how rude staff can be it all seems downhill from here. hopefully ride operations are a bit faster now though.

🤣 Defiantly the best power source for the tower lights.

I mean technically they probably could however it would require more work I'm pretty sure if they did run a conduit down the tower, it would be inside it.

I wonder if the Lights are solar powered as I don't think they could do it any other way.

Are they lighting up yet?
