The Good, The bad and the Dreamworld

[T-bone]

Are you serious? Those are the LCD screens? That looks cheap. But hey, it might lead to something good.

[Slick]

Those ones have been there ever since Cyclone opened, although they don't use them alot. Like rabid said (I think), it's only a fluke if they decide to turn the tv's on. I should be down there again soon, so I'll be able to get some more photos on here. And a quick question for you paul, is your MSN working?

[T-bone]

Yes it should be.

[steve$]

Like i said before they could show video of the parks rides and evrything. They wouldnt dare show a movie in the queue lines would they? That is if they turn them on

[Slick]

Yes they would show a movie steve. In the reptar queue line they show the Rugrat's first movie. Unfortunately though I don't think they show it anymore because it just pisses all the ride-ops off. Imagine watching a really dodgy movie several times a day for several years?

[HussRainbow]

Yep they look really crap.....

[steve$]

But thats reptar. It's kids amusement

[Slick]

So? Do big kids like myself still ride it? And is it still a coaster?

[steve$]

Yeah but it is supposed to be a fun area

[Slick]

Is watching the same movie several hundred times a year fun laddie?

[steve$]

But most people wont be riding it every day so even if kids go once a month for the whole year they wont get sick of it. So it will be very fun for younger children who watch Spongebob Squarepants and other Nickolodien cartoons

[kennykoala]

they are not the ones they have just installed paul. they were the ones original around the cyclone quene on each of the levels. the new ones are actually on brackets attached to the air ducting going to the floor.

I know exactly what you are talking about. If I hear any part of the Space Probe video again I think I might snap and go 'US postal'. "The Bus is now leaving for Snap Creek, Victoria"

They can show the Video in Rugrats, but instead of the movie, episodes. I know it would get boring, but owell. Ride-ops aren't on the same ride all day long, all year long are they. Anyway, Fred Flinstones Splashdown in Hanna Barberra Land at Wonderland used to show Episodes of the Flintstones. So i don't see why they can't show episodes of Rugrats in the Queue line of Reptar Runaway Rollercoaster.

[Gazza]

Why dont they just tune it to Nickelodeon? It would be differendt every day, and it would be bearable.

[T-bone]

That could always be done. I never thought of that.

[Slick]

Because there would be constant ads perhaps? And with ride-op circulation at Dreamworld, they have the same ride-ops for a day, with a replacement op or two about lunch time so the main ride-ops can have a break.

[T-bone]

Wasn't like that at Wonderland. With the T.V thing, they could always have a Personalised Nick channel called Nick T.V. Bought to you by Dreamworld. They could broadcast their own T.v Network. With Nick T.V for Nick Central, some sort of station for Ocean Parade. And wherever there are T.V's in the park, have a Different Channel depending on where the T.V's are.

[joz]

If they did that, then it'd be pre-recorded stuff thats on an hour (at best) loop, and we'd be back where we started from. Still, I'm surprised the ride ops are able to have the screens turned off because they're sick of them. Its not for them, its for guests.

[T-bone]

Not Necesarily. They could use the sort of system like the TV stations use. So, there would be minimum repeats.

[Gazza]

Nothing wrong with having Ads on TVs tuned to Nickelodeon, the kids can bear the ads at home, so why not in the ride queue, plus The actual Nickelodeon network might like the idea becuase their ads are being veiwed by large numbers of people. But anyway, Nick is on Pay TV, so shouldnt it be ad free because you are paying for it ????

[T-bone]

Foxtel has ads, but not as much as Free to Air Television. Most of the ads are to promote things such as the next show and all that. Depends also on what channel you are tuned to. But they could strike a deal with Nick, and have Dreamworld Ads thrown in about 2 ads for Dreamworld an Hour.

Flea that was not very nice. You will probably see a news story about me tomorrow. "Ex-Wonderland employee goes crazy" "The Bus is now leaving for Crazy Cat Mountain, Queensland"

[joz]

We show Cartoon Network a couple of places at Seaworld despite the ads. Indeed when I've watched it an amazing amount of advertising is for Seaworld (and Seaworld Gold Coast holidays), and I can imagine it'd be the same for Nick with Dreamworld. In any case, there little or no chance that an ad will appear for, say, a rival park, so ads shouldn't make that much difference.
