Wonder why the blue path to signify the Ocean Parade doesn't continue through to Serpent Slayer? Maybe because it would make the kids area look too small on the map?

Dreamworld’s Ocean Parade Expansion 2023
GoGoBoy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Am I the only one who thinks this new area looks hideous? Like really ugly? -
I was going to say this!! I've always thought a Screamin' Swing would be perfect for this spot. A really fun popular ride, and it would swing out over the water on both sides. Not many places in the world where this style of ride is more perfectly suited for. Plus you could give the columns some nice Atlantean theming

Who doesn't love a fake rock? -
Both of those look great!! Very promising! Love that DW is going down the themed route - hopefully learning from the trend at other parks worldwide

Looks like there will be a nice long master blaster judging but the updated concept art too - looking forward to that!

Sandy Shores Lagoon Refurbishment at Sea World 2023

So those shade sails are for the dolphins, right? -
Pretty sure they got rid of the ropes a while back, much to the delight of all the WB Kids' attendants

Everything about the new logo and branding makes it look like it was done in Microsoft Paint. Which is a shame, because the old logo was awesome

Rocky Hollow Log Ride Demolition - Dreamworld
GoGoBoy replied to mssveattck's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If DW are already reluctant to add another water ride, I can't see them adding a water ride that is intentionally meant to feel unstable -
Actually Dean is (or at least was) completely correct. Luna Park's maintenance team were always part of (and referred to as) Multiplex. They were pretty much always the same team based at the park though, so I wouldn't really call it outsourcing. But I don't know the details of the arrangement. Multiplex, the company, was a major shareholder of Luna Park. They probably still are

Oh wow - that second photo reveals a lot especially! Cheers thanks for the info -
Defunctland - The Awful Wiggles Dark ride
GoGoBoy replied to Dean Barnett's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Sorry I wasn't suggesting it will only use the BRC plot, rather that general area. Still interesting how it's going to work though and whether any of those existing buildings will be kept or incorporated. We know our parks don't like to get rid of existing buildings! Also, from looking at old park maps (and I know this is not a guarantee of accuracy), it looks like the old country jamboree animatronic show was located closer to where the Billabong restaurant is now. So not sure how accurate their call is on that -
Defunctland - The Awful Wiggles Dark ride
GoGoBoy replied to Dean Barnett's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Was the show building specifically built for BRC or was it repurposed? Thoughts on whether it will be staying or going with Jungle Rush on its way? I still can't imagine how that coaster is going to fit into that plot -
Totally. WoO was to do with the need to replace Arkham with something and surveys continually finding that a lack of family attractions was the issue for MW. Atlantis was from way back when VRTP became acutely aware of the lack of ride inventory at SW

Maleficent Dragon Catches Fire During Fantasmic at Disneyland
GoGoBoy replied to Noll_57's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Rare freak accident? I'd say it's actually quite the opposite of that, considering the Malificent dragon in the Disney parade also caught on fire a year or so ago and was covered all over the news -
Was once Australia's largest theme park - now look at it!! It looks like a regional park in Victoria, only with less theming

That's only because the development of Movie World and these other parks you mention were all linked due to earlier affiliations, not so much because of being 'inspired'

I believe it is heritage listed so it's likely they'd have to keep it as a going concern

Wet n Wild SurfRider taken off website

Movie World have a thing called 'ride checks' where a member of staff goes on the ride during their shift to check everything appears to be operating normally. Regarding the lack of lasers, I also understand that this was due to fire safety issues and the need to make changes (probably expensive) to allow smoke
