They definitely seem to be getting some work done finally. I wonder whether they will use any of the old structure/track. If they don't they can hardly say they are 'moving' the vintage cars, it would just be a new ride. However I like how it's almost in the same spot it was in originally, albeit just a bit to the right.

Maybe that's true, but at least Big Red Car had the old Gum Tree Gully side facade to back it up, that was something, and it wasn't nearly as obvious, I never remembered noticing it at all, but now when I'm at tiger island, its just so big i cant not look at it (sorry for the grammar lol)

Definitely true, but I personality see the potential of a holiday resort next to Dreamworld and Whitewater world. Also being next to Westfield is another pro. It's not the best of places, but I can see it being an amazing place to stay for a while in the future.

Same here, but it seems that the tiger island side won't get a lovely view. Shame it will somewhat ruin the tiger island with a big metal wall. At least Big Red Car kept the old Gum Tree Gully type facade on that side, and it wasn't as tall. Oh well, at least the coaster itself will hopefully make up for it.

Definitely. Either way, the value of that land being right next to a major theme park is sky high. By rezoning the land they most likely will never need, they will have more money for future projects.

That's true. Even if they did though, I think using the old plot and the motorcoaster plot as well would provide adequate space for even a new themed area. Even if they didn't use the Motorcoaster plot, there would still be plenty of space.

No I think I do… no running water slides is saying how there are no water slides. either that or it’s just sarcasm

Oops! Should've seen it sooner haha

Ok that makes much more sense. Still a little confusing why they decided to say this, but fair enough. Excited to dine there!

hope so! I really wished I was alive back then, this could help me live that time period modern day!

Wish I was alive back then, sounds like fun!

7 News has just released a news story. Also I feel like the animatronics are definitely a callback to the old Koala Jamboree! Great to see dreamworld bringing back more old things! I don’t have a link to the news story though sorry

I think that is what the sign was for, due to it most likely being wet with the wet people walking around. However, now I think it would be impossible to run in that area without tripping.

I have since gotten much better pictures from the drone. They are attached below:

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.
