With Matilda passing away last weekend Goliath is now all alone in the enclosure💔. I’d love to see some pictures of them together posted on this page so we can remember her. Rest in peace Matilda, gone but not forgotten.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for this map everywhere and the only one I found was such bad quality!

Definitely true. I highly doubt it’s not reopening though, because it is one of if not the most popular rides, and it’s having a Reno done to it, so IMO, village would have to be on drugs to even consider that as a possibility right now.

I have been doing some research recently, and I am stumped. Does anyone know if a map of Dreamworld in 1981/1982 exists? Lets say before Blue Lagoon? If anyone has it, I would love to get a picture of it, as I am very curious.

I hope so too. With the area the stations fill up though, I have no idea what they could possible fit in there, unless they use the VR castle and plot. Even then it's not a great space, especially considering the abstract shape. I'm curious as to what ride they could use for that space, if they decide to put a ride there at all. (the area in the red is only 0.3 km squared. Enough space, but not a great shape).

I definitely agree with you there. However, I feel like what MW should do is maybe shrink the area a bit and move the entrance sign back a bit, maybe up to the photo op where the show is. This would make more space if they were planning something for the doomsday destroyer plot after WOZ. With that said, there would still be plenty of space to add all the things You suggested, but there would also be space for a whole new area where the games/Doomsday are. (google earth isnt working for me right now, so I've drawn it on maps)

I'm sorry that I'm not allowed to have my own opinion. Sure Levi is forceful and Jet rescue is fast, but IMO they aren't that thrilling. (maybe ive just been on too many crazy coasters). All I'm saying is I doubt an inverting coaster will be installed in the park in the next few years. (Also I had no intention of parroting your statements, it's just my observations lead me to saying things similar to yours).

Unintentionally. Sounded better in my head, but as Tricoart just said, I wouldn't be seeing SeaWorld suddenly going back into the thrill ride era that they ended in the mid 2010's. Leviathan is a lot of fun, but not too thrilling. SeaWorld would not benefit from a coaster with inversions. My point on Corkscrew is that the only inverting coaster SeaWorld has ever had (I may be wrong i have a feeling that i am), was built in the 80's. With it being demolished in 2014, the thrill era of SeaWorld pretty much died. But I do agree I need to work on making my points more clear. I will try that. Off topic though. I do believe SeaWorld will get a new coaster, but I doubt it would be a thrill coaster.

I see your point, but what I am trying to say is that for starters Corkscrew was in the 80's, so it's safe to say that was a while ago. I do get what your saying, but I doubt SeaWorld will be getting an inverted coaster in the next ten years. Although I agree with you on the RIvals part, I wasn't saying inversions=thrill. I was purely saying that some sort of inverting coaster would be cool to see in The old Doomsday plot. That's just my opinion though. I don't think MW would put another wooden coaster in the area. However, either they annex part of WW for a ride, or re extend it and add another ride to the area, which would be nice.

I agree with you, SeaWorld does need to reintroduce an observation wheel. However, I feel like a coaster with inversions would be better suited to MW, as SeaWorld is more of a family park than thrill (don't get me wrong, it does have thrill rides, but they are more focused on family). I think MW because they only really have one ride that inverts (GL). DC RIvals doesn't technically invert, which in my opinion is a waste of advertising potential. I feel like MW could make a nice inverting ride if they used the Doomsday Destroyer plot and annexed some of the Wild West Town, including the showcase building. This would leave a large enough plot for a compact inverting coaster.

I feel like that's a good idea. There isn't really any relaxing "ride", in the park (Unless I'm mistaken), and no gold coast park has done a ferris wheel for a very long time (no the abc kids ferris wheel doesn't count). SeaWorld could really benefit from an observation style ride, as the views you can get from the park are amazing. On top of that, space is obviously not an issue. The only thing that i guess can give you a view is the old skylift, which closed years ago. I remember being able to see the sea and lakes at one point, but it wasn't designed to see things. The ferris wheel at Luna Park in Sydney provides one of the best views I have seen on a ferris wheel, with a great view of the bridge, opera house, and the rest of the park. I think SeaWorld would really be better off because of it.

Looks great! I have to agree with the others though, how will they incorporate the Mayan theming into an Aussie rainforest? It just doesn’t seem possible to do that. Maybe they will come up with an excuse that the ancient people of Rivertown built a temple for some reason. But in all seriousness, I reckon they can pull it off, however they do it

That’s what I’m trying to say here. Sea World has plenty of animals. I feel like they need a good new water attraction like a slide of some description as they haven’t done that in so long. I also feel like grouping the animals better would help guests know where to go for animals and where to go for rides.

Fair point there. I'm really excited for the reopening, they better have fixed what the people want them to fix, if it goes further downhill i doubt the ride can recover again. A story of going through a town and into a mine or something like that i think, im not sure the exact story though.

So I'm guessing you mean to say that JR will be more similar to Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster: Next Generation? If so, then I feel like we are in for a treat from DW

Good idea. Don't wanna be let down after waiting all this time for a new story ride. I feel like Woz will be a story ride, but I doubt it will be as integral to the ride as JR will be, so lets keep our hopes up, but not too much

There have been rides with stories to them namely Eureka Mountain Mine Ride, Thunder River Rapids, Big Red Car Ride etc, but i doubt you'd count. that last one haha. But yeah, I do know what you mean, this will be a big first for Dreamworld, and the first new story themed ride since who knows how long.

Agreed. Hopefully Jungle Rush somewhat satisfies that need, but I doubt it will be enough. WWF and Scooby tell a story, but it’s just not the same.

I see your point there. I guess not many people want to see a tiny fish, they’ve gone to sea world for the rides and main animals like polar bears, sharks, penguins and stingrays.

There are signs, but i feel like they are not adequate, and its very difficult to determine a certain type of fish.

Although that is true, I would definitely at least like to see a renovation, or an aquarium in the castle with smaller tanks. If that can't happen, maybe more info on the species in shark bay would be nice.

Haha yeah. Well they at least predicted there’d be a new ride called the dreamworld flyer, so half points for that I guess

YO YOU PREDICTED THE FUTURE 19 YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPENED!!!

Here are some photos taken from Saturday. Sorry for the poor quality I forgot to turn on cinematic mode. Next time. Anyways, as you can see the props are there, including some old carts from TRR (the green tank thingy). Theming for Jungle rush is being stored there, as well as the old RHLR vehicles. The old Town Of Gold Rush logo is also in the corner, i zoomed it in.

I’ve got the pictures now, I shall attach them below. Sorry for the poor quality, I forgot to turn on cinematic mode. (added pics too of vintage cars and jungle Rush in general. There appears to be more grass photo opportunities, but the vintage car has been removed when I went. There is a big red car in the corner of a picture, the rest is off camera).
