  1. Lets say they get 1,5000,000 million guest in a year, that's a average for around 4100 people a day, some days might be 3000, some days 6000, but lets go with the average. How much do they pay for entry? There are many options; https://movieworld.com.au/tickets Some kind of good value if you are visiting all the parks, but I'm going to say the average entry price is $80. 80 times 1,500,000 guests is only $120,000,000 in ticket sales a year. Plus extras, fast ride pass ($2,000,000), photos( $7,000,000), food and drink, ( $11,000,000 profit only) (example calculation - 800k people a year spend a average of $35 each on food = $28,000,000 in food sales across all outlets, for above I guessed a profit) Lets just say total yearly Income is $140,000,000 Now they have the star parade nearly? everyday? For just over a hour (including prep time) we need to prepare about 40 staff and maintain costumes and float cars, and section off the road and run the show. I think it costs $950,000 a year to run this show. Hollywood stunt driver I think it cost's $2,000,000 a year to run the show, plus another $1 million in bankroll for direct maintenance in the area The wildwest falls was a long ago $18,000,000 investment but I think it's running/water treatment/ and maintenance costs exceed $4,000,000 a year. A major attraction has reached the end of its life and is cleared and a new one constructed at a cost of $22,000,000 Water and electric bills total $4,000,000 a year Now we are at $106,000,000 a year, minus these costs so far We employ 20 senior engineers and management staff at a total cost in wages and benefits at $3,000,000 Hundreds of other staff are employed with their wages costing $ 20,000,000 a year. Advertising and Online website fees $5,000,000 a year All maintenance and painting or other major attractions and roller coasters $8,000,000 a year Now we are down to $70,000,000 cash a year in our pockets I will stop playing the game now, but you can share your thoughts where I might be right or wrong. I feel if I keep running expenses We will be lucky to have a 15% profit margin i think I'm aware there could be debts from various upgrades through out the years but the overall site value is probably more than 200million. This is just a bit of fun for me....
  2. I haven't been here for nearly 20 years. I check my archives, maybe I missed a whole generation of fencing. In my photo has have the same 70s style fencing you park your car against at the footy oval in the suburbs.
  3. the movie is from 1939. Thought its an attraction for a 100 year anniversary
  4. I observed up to one in ten runs would get a 3rd backwards freefall, usually it catches on the 2nd run and slowly sends the train back to base. Not sure if its really a issue, seems weight related and how far the train falls back up the track after the first pass through the loading area. Thought it was awesome ride can't imagine why dreamworld booted it maybe.
  5. Are you serious, is one of the coasters a copy of TNT at GBW. Its like the 90s with the portable metropolis coasters that can travel around to show grounds. I will say I rode TNT last month, and not sure If I'm not used to the feeling of coaster recently but the first 5 seconds is really good the rest is a sunday drive. I loved the EX dreamworld coaster, pretty thrilling, got a extra drop due to break not catching
  6. The smart thing to do is wait till all the wizard of oz section is done, then close it then
  7. But we have a few problems. The whole area seems fit for maybe 5000 patrons in a day. Fairly average two lane highway feeds into the area with a small drive way and currently... that car park.. Potential dangerous intersections back onto the highway.... If it was ever going to be a real park the whole area needs 100mil in road upgrades. Not sure where they would expand for another 5 rides. On the back they could do this https://www.skylineluge.com/en/sentosa/?utm_source=gmb_listing&utm_medium=organic I would get. Flume ride drop tower/ vertical launch ...
  8. I'm really impressed about this, and I had no idea about it till I logged in a few weeks ago. I visited the park last in 2016 which may have well still been the same as 1997. Another 2-3 big rides and I'd consider for Victoria to finally have a real Themepark. They could add a Singapore luge Sentosa Island style thing out the back where the toboggan used to be.... Wasn't it some bosses from carsales.com.au who got the place going
  9. Ahhh That moment when I remember about this place and log in again after 5 years... I learned so much, had no idea lethal weapon was gone and dreamworld has a big new coaster. Anyhow thought I'd share some of my old photos since many of the things don't exist anymore and its becoming a bit interesting... I should go again after 15 years....
  10. Are you serious, is that the location of the ride judging from the near map photo. It's so close to the highway, for sure in its initial 6months of opening as it towers less than 100m from the highway. It will cause accidents as people slow to look at it. the land located near (lethal weapon) and Wild west doesn't look super important, maybe those buildings can go and they can fit some things in there. PLease note I am a casual enthusiast
  11. So in this format there would be a color bar such as Red For superman escape covering most of April, and another ride such as wild west Blue. The two different color bars are easily identifiable and visually it can be worked out easily what days all attractions run, otherwise try visit the maintenance page now and work out the best time to visit....many schedules overlap.
