I think we can all agree it was/is in a complete enough state to open though…

Wouldn’t another station potentially help ease that capacity issue? People at stations wanting to jump on are dispersed across 3 stations rather than 2

2024 Theme Park Enthusiasts Awards
Michelangelo replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
In fairness I’ve not ventured out west, but have been down south… Best Food - Jane’s/Dreamworld Best Guest Experience - Dreamworld Best Park operations - Dreamworld Best Coaster - DC Rivals/Movieworld Best Family Coaster - FOTWW/Movieworld Best Flat Ride - Sledgehammer/Luna Park Sydney Best Themed area - Rivertown/Dreamworld Best Show - Aqua Light Show @ Carnivale/Sea World Best Kids’ Area - Dreamland/Dreamworld Best new attraction for 2024 - Jungle Rush/Dreamworld Best Amusement Park - Dreamworld -
100% it’ll return to full circuit. I wouldn’t be surprised if it reopens as a stop for Jane’s restaurant to drive footfall into there. The only issue is that it’ll require significant investment to raise the height of the platform for accessibility like they did at Central and Wildlife, and they don’t have a lot of space to work with to do so… Which might make it expand into an even larger project to re-do the entire path from RT through to Wildlife(Or, Corroboree) to allow for this. Would be a great distraction from the eyesore that is old TOT building on the left heading back to Central…

I think that’s the key too… they’re not robotic just trying to get as many people through as possible, they’re also having a laugh, enjoying their time, chatting to guests

I have to say Jungle Rush ops were electric tonight! Pre-board announcement before the train has arrived, gates opened as guests get off, restraints being checked before the train was fully seated yet. Pre-dispatch announcement whilst they’re checking restraints, then it was an almost immediate dispatch as soon they reached the final restraints and checks. Without timing it, I honestly think from the moment I sat down to when we were moving was less than 30 seconds. Not only did this help keep wait times down, but also minimised the time the other train is waiting out on the rain. Absolutely seamless.

Dreamworld Annual Passes - 2024 Price Increase
Michelangelo replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Looks like AP is $10, day tickets are $15 more expensive at the gate… -
Ops aren’t anything special on KT, there’s lots of room for improvement. But they’re lucky the capacity is so huge that there’s barely a line or wait… Max I’ve ever waited for KT was 11mins. That’s including the walk.

There has always been a sliding door, but I’ve noticed ops not using it all the time. When it first opened they were sliding it back and forth with every dispatch, no issues. Then a week or two later, the ops weren’t touching the sliding door and I’ve saw people losing things/picking up other’s property by mistake, and people currently on the ride stuffing their things into where I put my phone and keys. It helps when Ops use the sliding door

Probably will open 2 days after King Claw soft opens…

Yeah… I saw people scratching at them day one as well as trying to unravel the ropes in the joins. Can’t have nice things…

Yeah 2018, he left not long after… one wonders why 😏 Regardless, being GM or COO doesn’t mean you call the shots. He still had to answer to Bikash and/or Clark and I’m sure many others. You can see the vast difference between being able to call the shots and being a few rungs down the ladder… just look at the past 3/4 years at DW.

Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement

Flying in for disappointment when they realise the Insta filters don’t match reality -
Would be a cool addition… I think it would need to hold the train for longer to tell a story before dropping though

100% agree with this one. Guaranteed to be the most popular ride on the GC now! (In terms of catering for the masses)… don’t hunt me down all you DC Rivals diehards There are the 1 or 2 white ones as well Look… if I could fault the ride experience in any way, it would be the motors are too loud. not because I’m being sensitive… I feel like there’s supposed to be sound effects are you travel around, past those 3 heads, etc. and over the motor noise you can’t hear anything Unless I’m totally wrong about the SFX… in which case, no faults 😂

I was honestly expecting MC to stick out like dogs balls especially walking back towards Main Street from Jungle Rush. The little they’ve done to the store has ensured it fits in as nice as possible with spending as minimal as possible. You hardly notice there’s a motorbike racing ride right next to all this jungle theming. Definitely will tie it over for 24 or so months until they can fund a replacement or returns

Greg has been working tirelessly to turn DW around for 5-6ish years… and it’s done it by leading from the forefront. The man deserves some reward from his efforts via ticket sales, market share and share price *he’s

I’ve really tried to remain unbiased, but damn the differences in openings are polarising. I really hope Clark or Bikash get a chance to visit Dreamworld today for some learnings they can apply to MW…

I’m pretty sure it’s a massive share portion… probably enough for 3 if not 4
