The trams are based at Paradise Country and are used to shuttle inbound tour groups who start their day at Movie World and move to PC in the afternoon. They are also used for functions. Day guests simply walk into the park after parking with the re worked entrance. Back when PC was only for groups, you couldn't walk into the park and everyone had to come by tram.

The 'Hell's Gate' entrance was definitely once the period of Adults Fright nights had begun and the first year of Sudden Impact being involved properly. IMO the best mazes of all time for character and detail were Wolf Creek 2, Evil Dead and Hillbilly Slasher because they were more than just a walk through and people they yelled boo. They had environments, change of levels and texture and a greater sense of place and journey. Since then the mazes have kind of stagnated with almost 'same maze, different wallpaper.' The envelope isn't being pushed in terms of scares and technology and I think the scenic has actually regressed. It's still a solid event, but the maze side of it isn't progressing at all.

I've said this before, probably 1000 times. THEY DON'T BREAK DOWN they simply have a routine stop for safety purposes. The reason other advanced automated machines don't do this is they aren't for public person conveyance. As soon as you put people on something a whole additional set of ultra high level safety applies and it's just to feasible to have attractions that can avoid stopping. If they did they would cost an extra 100 million dollars to implement all that is required. The closest thing to rides are probably elevators, and I don't know how much experience you have with high rises but they break down regularly enough, and they are doing a simple mundane relatively slow task.

If they did that how would people know they were at Dreamworld?

Wtf should you get a free shirt for being 'inconvenienced' by 10 mins? Im sorry was there an important business meeting to get to AT A FUN DAY AT A THEMEPARK? Honestly the entitlement of people these days is just a joke.

Got that's the worst add ever. Did they have a AWL rapid raft slide of death like Wet n Wild had?

This is not a couple rides down for their annual refurb. This is half a park walled off by temporary fences and more deconstruction than construction. Its just a really sad depressing look all over the park. Honestly the entire place other than Tiger Island looks like shit.

So at this point I am actually thinking Dreamworld should realistically consider moving to weekend only and school holiday opening. Keep white water world open mid week, and use the side entrance to bring the tour groups in to get their Koala photos (if these haven't all moved on to Paradise Country and Currumbin). I get the opening every day to reinforce the impression of being open for business but they aren't, half of the park is closed anyway. Reduce the overheads of having casual staff working weekdays with no guests. Your holiday makers will visit the Village parks and still visit on the weekend anyway, and your locals aren't making you any money mid week anyhow. That would free up staff and money to get these refurbs done quicker or more stuff open. And on that note, why take their time with log ride? Throw some money at it right now and fast track the rebuild. It's the same cost anyway as dragging it out and just makes for a better image overall.

Pretty common I find for jobs not to specify salary these days. I find it very annoying and silly.

Not digging up this discussion AGAIN but theme park rights usually apply to a location not worldwide.

I think that whole Wonderland video discussion is just total insanity. It's a DEAD AND BURRIED closed park. Sure some people have some lovely memories, but I can't see why there is infighting over some pics and videos of something that is well and truely in the past. I don't get the whole 'Wonderland circle' it's a bit nuts. Think people should just be happy others are talking about/interested in it.

Whist I'm a massive copyright supporter and don't advocate the stealing of any professional works. I often do seem to struggle with the theme park enthusiast world of but hurt when non professional photos are re used for non monetary purposes...

Wow there's a roller coaster in amongst all that shit somewhere.

Well if it's a mechanical characteristic of the ride system it's going to always be there isn't it.

No way unlimited. $19 is fine by me

Magic Mountain is $25 for X2... just saying and that's US dollars

Well any sound would be hidden by the subs

Look I'm not saying there isn't some sort of sudder from the kicker wheels but I don't think there's any sort of track shaker... Probably to do with the coupling of the subs to the floor and transferring up into the track rather than firing low frequency waves at you.

Given those large pipes have been there since around the time Shark Bay was built it would be funny if the entire structure they are building is solely to hide something they can't remove

Are you all talking about the castle que being dark? Reason for that is simple. Combination of being cheap and no one consulting on design. The que originally had 300w tungsten halogen lamps pointed at each window panel. The bounce of these produced ample ambient light for the space. These constantly required replacement so the minute the worlds cheapest LED replacement was available they 'started' to get changed out. Unfortunately the LEDs chosen were/are cheap and nasty, and set to an 'amber' they provide little bounce and thus you have the resulting dark que area. There are still a couple of the old lamps left because not ALL were replaced #budget. There's even a couple of EXTREMELY AWFUL home made modified lights up there that light a couple panels in a cool white, just gross. The whole space is one of my most hated places in the park lighting wise and it drives me nuts every time I see it. Badly needs a refit by a theatrical lighting designer... again something only Disney and Universal do, which is why their stuff looks 100x better than spaces lit by electricians.

Theres a bunch of subs next to the track... you can see them. Combined with the low jog speed of the train creates a pretty convincing effect.

Yeah two things... I'm pretty sure the company I work for doesn't have any amusement rides, in the dark or otherwise so... burn fail! second this emerging trend of people trying to out other members personal lives on these forums is not cool and won't be tolerated so it can stop now. Cause otherwise I'm just going to start banning people.

First rule of que design, if people are bored they will damage shit... Good parks don't let them be bored Ok parks make it so they can't damage stuff The rest do neither... Great parks are of course all run by Disney and do both

Wow by the ratings that's a pretty poor review... hopefully they get better.
