From what we have seen I tend to agree but I am slightly interested on what MW will deliver outside of the rides.

Plastic corn

Rivertown has soft opened. Not sure if the rides are yet available to guests, but you can walk under the archway and the store is open

 

Great work DW team.

This is really exciting to see! Now I'm tempted to take the transport straight down to dreamworld. Or if I should hope the rides open tomorrow instead.

I wouldn't be pulling anchor and setting sail for DW, before it was confirmed guest are riding.

No guests riding yet. Staff are riding Murrissippi Motors. Jungle Rush is going around empty.

Exactly, the signage says tech rehearsals, but the tensabarrier is still up and an earlier post said it was staff rides. i'm sure it's imminent though.

Let’s hope a passholder email goes out tonight or tomorrow. I saw 2 shipping containers in the car park today so it seemed there was more theming to come…

I heard that literally right up until the lead up to Christmas that there was multiple final containers of theming arriving for install and placement. 

The roof looks even more fugly, front on.

The roof is too high to offer any real protection from the sun, except for the 10 mins a day, when the sun is directly above you.

 

Thank f&*k for photoshop so I can edit the roof out of my photos.

Wow. Just got off Jungle Rush. It was awesome. A little bit dizzy but it was fun 

Jungle Rush opened for technical rehearsals and is now taking guests.

Definitely disappointing design for the vintage cars compared to what we were originally shown.
I agree design and artwork changes along the way but it appears they ran out of money and just slapped a high roof on the old cars with a tiny bit of theming

if only the park was open later than 5pm.... i'd make the trip. Maybe Thursday 

Same here, might go down tomorrow.. hopefully the transport isn't too bad.

That is AI and was never going to be the final design of the cars anyways though

At least they are open until 5 now, unlike your last visit!

All hands on deck.

Not sure if I should wait until official opening or head down earlier.  I am so excited for this.  

@Troy81MM queue times after boxing day, has me worried enough to try my luck before the official opening.

Is Dreamworld seriously going to beat Village to the soft open? 😮

Could we see a Steven Bradbury moment?? (Hopefully without MW stumbling)

…I should’ve read all the updates before I replied.

Incredible to see them open to guests!

Anyone got photos on the cars on the track instead of the photo op?
