Do we know anything about what’s going on with the big red boat coaster?

Guessing it and the Play School Wheel will be for the summer holidays.

What about the September holidays?

Considering the ride is scheduled for maintenance from early October to early December, I’d expect we’d see the ride relocated during this time

I can also see ABC kids world close when play school wheel goes into maintenance if not a few weeks later

I’d say the last couple rides left will stay there for the summer holidays, but as soon as they’re over, that entire area will close (I don’t know that for fact, just my thoughts)

Here is my guess on what will happen:

• June 2023 School Holidays: Big Red Planes, Giant Drop open
• September 2023 School Holidays: Kenny’ Forest Flier, Deep Sea Dodgems, Dreamworld Flier open
• December 2023 School Holidays: Play School Wheel, Big Red Boat opens
• Februrary 2024: ABC Kids closes
• June 2024: Vintage Cars closes
• 2025: Rivertown opens

2025: Rivertown opens

So you think the Rivertown opening will be delayed? Because their announcement said it was opening in 2024.

Adding to this, my guess would be the Candy Flyer and Soaring Swing will close after Kenny’s Treetop Flyer opens or after the September school holidays to make way for the Big Red Boat coaster

By the looks of construction not starting I feel like it is likely to be delayed. WoO could get a 2024 opening but I am unsure about Rivertown, especially as ground work hasn’t started and it looks very complex compared to WoO.

I definitely think it can be done by the end of 2024. We don’t know the timeline of when ABC Kids World will close, so it could be closing when the Play School Wheel is scheduled to close for maintenance. Maybe when Dreamland is officially open, that’s when ABC Kids World closes, so we could see demolition begin before the end of the year, with new construction beginning first thing next year.

Agree - like - calm down guys, it's May 2023 and there are 19 months left until the end of 2024. A boxing day opening for Rivertown makes the most sense if you follow typical ride openings in Australia, so there's plenty of time to go.

The park have updated the Future of Dreamworld page, which lists all the new rides that are now open and includes a new concept artwork for the Big Red Boat Coaster

Got this ad for the fact Origin was a part of the solar panel installation at DW

not liking the obviously ai-generated coaster in the ad, but an interesting thing for them to advertise nonetheless.

In its last maintenance period, Dreamworld’s added stickers of their new logo to the backs of some seats. Apparently they’re in certain locations as to aid ride operators in balancing out the ride when loading. 

New safety sign for Seabed Splash, quite nice looking!

It’s been done very well, but it’s a shame one is required for a splash pad.

If you haven't seen a splash pad before it's good to be told what the rules are before entering.

I do really like the grey dreamworld logo on this sign. It looks infinitely better than the old one.

Hopefully a few more of these are rolled out around the park and/or themed to the area they sit in (like a wooden one for rivertown)
