I was about to post the exact same thing. Looks good... but why?

It's a properly mental idea. Why go against world wide industry practice?

So with the main component of White Christmas (the big lighting display) basically remaining unchanged since it started all those years ago... Does anyone feel it's time for the park to innovate with something new?

Yay so Dreamworld will have yet another unfinished construction project in the middle of the park for Summer now. How does anyone in that place even have a job?

It's a white collar market for sure. But I know people in the states that are at their local Top Gold every 3-4 weeks. There's like a bazillion trade based business on the GC and between those and all the 'wanker corporates' (no judgement) this will be a meka for 'client entertaining'. Add that to the Light Rail making transport from Surfers affordable and it will be a winner. I think most people just don't 'get it' because it's a radical concept that needs to be seen to understand what it's about.

IT'S A TIGER!!! If it is unhappy being tapped on the nose, it's probably going to make its feelings known pretty swiftly now isn't it...

Thing is DW could actually convert that cinema to IMAX Digital given it's a smaller size screen. Apart from licensing that's a lot cheaper to run. Nothing will ever replace the amazingness that 'was' Sydney's IMAX 70mm in 2D on the worlds biggest screen. I feel like that's a dying thing and question if Sydney will even re-open at that size.

I think many people here would be surprised to learn just how many people in management at Yas Parks are actually aussie (and in fact VRTP) ex pats. There seems to be quite a good culture for ex pats over there and everyone I know is saying only good things about the place.

Some new pics... and the rest lifted from Parkz with no credit!

Seriously WTF, why can't this park get it's shit together ever?

Omg I love Parkz. We've gone from full theming happening now, to postponed, to the ride becoming D.C. and all theming being destroyed in some mystery incident in like one page Cant say we don't hold our own for entertainment value alone.

Push different is not necessarily 'not as good'. The Light Horse segment is the best reviewed part of any show AOS has ever done in 12 years, so it's hard to say it's not as good. My feeling is you will be happy come December 1st...

I'm sure it had nothing to do with Boost not wanting to be associated with a dying brand.

Theres actually 5 scenes cut from the High Country Legends show, 2 entire characters/leads and several other sections shortened to accomodate The Salute to the Light Horse in the High Country special show. The circus scene that features in both was also highly modified. So there is quite a bit different in them.

"Strange things have been happening in the park, A Volcano has suddenly appeared"

Clock... yeah things break, give them one too... But the Snow? That's actually piss poor. Like it's a seasonal decoration that has just been PUT OUT cracked and broken after sitting in storage for TEN MONTHS... are there standards at all?

Yay more closed things at Sea World

Soarin is NOTHING like a hokey ass 7D cinema regardless of scale and the seats actually move less. In true Disney style they looked at the footage, seating position, movement, smells, temperature and musical score as one cohesive experience and created a truely unique and breathtaking attraction. There is zero chance Dreamworld will get ANYTHING like Soarin.

Its the 2nd and the first was 2009 so hardly consecutive.

There's something very cooked/shit about how the show timing for that ride works. Did you stop mid ride? It's like it starts the timing when you dispatch and then runs because if ever there's a stop everything is out and runs out before you end the ride.

Oh wow see I heard TG hated that wall so it was to be a screen, I didn't think it would be two relatively small LED screens

Amazing attraction? Doubtful Temporary... that's the whole problem with that park!

Anyone care to not be a do gooder and link the video of the abandoned park?

Just no Its a damn carousel, excuses need to stop being made for their aging, poorly maintained piles of crap rides just sitting idle because of this or that. 1) the gearbox shouldn't break 2) if it does, get it sorted and reopen. Closed for months for a damn kiddy ride. Ffs

Yes IMO 'the freezer' style mazes are one of the most effective, there were people literally scared of nothing in there. The film vault version was a nice touch at adding just a bit extra. Id sooner see a maze like this as an extra addition and leave scenic budget for plussing others. They cost a lot to run (huge amounts of fog fluid) and the fences cop a beating but they are quick and simple to construct.
