There’s no need for hissy fits and ‘fine I’ll share nothing’. Dangling ‘I know something you done know’ carrots is an extremely arrogant way to get people off side. If you’re a ride op that shouldn’t be saying anything better to do that than try and tow some half line where naturally people will want vagueness clarified.

And exactly why is that? Can you tell me why 100s of parks around the world manage to operate (and build new) flume rides (and rapids for that matter) safely every single day yet Dreamworld can only say “nup it must close”. How about the park actually spend the money to fix up whatever seems to be unsatisfactory and keep the ride running? The lifts are new, the tunnels are gone. It’s a very basic control system and some water pumps. If the boats are past their use-by date then buy new ones. the continuous bullshit cop out Dreamworld keep making that’s it’s ok to close rides for safety is exactly that. In reality it’s just their unwillingness to spend money to make them safe and instead continue to water down their product offering. The park is in a hot climate and has ZERO water attractions to offer their guests. That’s pathetic I’m sorry.

May as well just close it then. Not possible to have that exhibit and raise the lighting.

You’re not getting it. I don’t doubt people are crashing into others. My point is that it’s because they are morons, not because we need more lighting in there.

The dim things are the ones walking around crashing into each other

That’s just ridiculous about Sea Jellies. How about people just watch where they are going and have some spatial awareness about themselves. The lighting there is more than enough to see where you’re going if you’re not being a self absorbed jerk. Just have some consideration for those around you. people suck

Unfortunately don’t know the answer to that I’m sorry.

All steam boilers were removed from all properties due to safety reasons so steam effects vanished from Superman and Bermuda at the same time

Fast track at Sea World?? What is that like over $50 per ride? Our parks are just too small to warrant things like virtual queuing and online food ordering.

Probably most significant is when the steam effects were decommissioned but other than that the park has done a pretty good job of up-keeping this attraction which is unique and actually does fit the classification of being world class.

Maybe read the thread. It’s been pretty well stated on here the lighting on the ride was completely changed on the 20th. It’s the whole reason the thread exists 🤦‍♂️

There were only ever lights on one of the two forwards drops in the ‘disco room’ and they are still there and working. As for the rest of the room the music is loud and there are a heap of lights in there. Perhaps go for a ride before talking the ride down.

So guessing it’s like Disney when you create a ‘party’ when you enter the park and then can select who in that party is queuing?

I would say WWW next step is getting that lazy river to really round out the park. Whilst the two parks may be ‘neck and neck’ on paper overall WWW is smashing WnW in every way because it’s fresh where as WnW is sadly very tired.

Front projection doesn’t work for fog screens, it has to be rear projection only (ie coming from behind the screen at you)

Lol fixed it

Just curious how an effect that wasn’t working being fixed and now operation equates to an expectation more effects will be left to rot fwiw fog screens are a piece of shit to keep working

What theming exactly?

Just wanted to add that it’s important to share these sorts of positive experiences from the parks as well as the bad. Very often us enthusiasts are quick to get on here and complain about every sore point, but less so on the good things. Giving positive feedback only serves to encourage the parks to do more good things

Well I’m glad they did!

The not waiting at the fountain is tip of the iceberg but yes by the time the lash float has past you the first is already returning. But because if the good pacing and fillers between floats it’s not like the parade rushes to be over or anything. Also I don’t recall any smoke machines going off throughout which was good, no idea how smoke ever equaled Christmas.

Not sure how many have ventured out this year. I’ll admit I haven’t visited the event for a few years as it was kinda repetitive and just fairly unpleasant to be at/navigate. As luck would have it I was at the park for a few White Christmas nights this year and WOW what a difference. Firstly on a fundamental level crowd control has been radically altered and improved. All the sidewalks are now clear of bins, benches, silly theming, etc and provide easy clear passage behind the crowd that assemble. But even the crowds are now less because at long last the parade ‘route’ has been extended down into western town and actually starts proper at Dodgems. You get a full show and this has been advertised so crowds are spread much better rather than being forced to jam in to see a plaza centric show. As for the parade itself HORAY AT LAST ITS A PARADE. It’s not an awkwardly paced collection of mini shows that about 5% get to see. From start to finish the parade is an evenly paced constant stream of kinetic energy. Not once did I find myself with a blank street in front of me to look at. Even the sound track reflects this and whilst it has different moods throughout it comes across as one cohesive track that suits all floats and is extremely Disney like. The whole thing was just such a joy to watch. Little touches like improved exit routes post parade and an absence of that god ugly flying fairy rig just add to the experience. A job very well done by the park. I was both well surprised and impressed.
