Would love to see dreamworld really focus on their “so many worlds in one.” And just thematic entertainment in general. There’s potential for 7 highly themed worlds and countless shows, parades and character appearances that I think would bring back some nostalgic culture to the park. Whilst also increasing ride and entertainment offerings to appeal to all generations and ages of visitors.
This is obviously just my wish list and I understand Dreamworld probably doesn’t have the disposable funds to make it all happen. But over the next 10 years I’m sure most of this could be attainable.
Ocean Parade
- New water and/or dark ride attraction/s possibly a coaster similar to Storm at SW or a flume, boat ride, tackless ride, etc
- A pirate ship flat would work really well in ocean parade imo. Albeit a bit boring none of the GC parks have one
- Extensive and consistent theming upgrades in the area
- Remove Serpent Slayer (relocate)
- Down the track, when the time is right, remove Gold Coaster and replace with a single rail coaster
K&Bs Dreamland
- Extend the world by using the Serpent Slayer land and adding 1-2 new kid friendly rides
- Additional shows for kid/family entertainment
Rivertown
- Retheme Motocoaster to match the aesthetic of Rivertown. Keep it bike themed (dirt bike? ATV?) but it really needs some new cars, fresh theming and a track to not be painted yellow.
Wildlife Experience & Tiger Island
- Tiger island with its recent upgrades is probably fine for a while
- Wildlife needs to become an attraction in itself rather than feel like you’ve walked into the backlot of a theme park. The once planned Koala Research Centre would be great. Maybe add some additional animal enclosures to get people to actually stop by instead of walking through just to get back to the rides.
- Extra experiences or shows in the world, maybe steal some ideas from Outback Spectacular & Paradise Country.
Main Street
- Bring back the charm of Main Street making it feel like a world of magic and fantasy
- Additional roaming characters and entertainment (singing, dancing, parade etc)
- ST and GD should not be included as part of Main Street
Outback Country (Modern take on Gold Rush/Rocky Hollow)
- Connect ST and GD via a path for this new world. Theme it to the Australian outback. ST and GD already would fit in with this theme. (Snake and oil drilling)
- New queue line for the GD, remove all the unnecessary stairs and ramps they currently have that essentially lead no where.
- New high thrill *australia first* roller coaster. B&M would be a dream manufacturer but I’ll take anything that can compete more closely with DC Rivals.
- Move Serpent Slayer to this land and retheme possibly to an insect? (6 gondolas?)
- Create an 18+ F&B outlet, possibly something with an outback pub kinda vibe? Best place would be to put it near several of the top thrill rides. Even if it’s not 18+ just somewhere to get a decent drink for the adults would be nice.
Doing all of this would only create 5 new attractions, 2 being kids, 2 being family and 1 being thrill. Also future proofs the inevitable retirement of GC. But with the relocation of SS and new paths between ST and GD it would really zone out all “worlds” nicely. If the park builds the koala research centre, adds some new shows, reintroduce the parade whilst also keeping an eye on detail and theming I think absolutely every guest of every age going to the park would benefit.
