Personally, this was one of my favourite parts of DWs animals precincts, so I am very happy to see its return.

Wonderful news. Thanks for sharing. Dreamworld really kicking some goals lately and their post-christmas holiday line up looks great too! Shame GD still down

Yes.. reopening the nocturnal house is definitely a factor in keeping guests disappointed GD is closed happy /s 

[REGIE]

Hm yes true. The people who came for the scariest fastest tallest ride in Australia probably aren’t gonna go “I don’t care, a nocturnal garden is just as good”

[jjuttp]

Finally. But i feel they may have taken away part of what made it great.

Like what in particular? Have you managed to see it in person yet?

Whilst it may be the biggest size wise, GD is hardly their “ biggest “ ride. 

No one is going to complain it’s closed when it’s well advertised and advised that it’s closed for Reno’s which can be seen even from outside the park

Some people are still gonna complain, that's practically unavoidable, but yeah GD isn't really their 'biggest' ride anymore & I highly doubt that this move has anything to do with it being closed for renos at all. They don't even have the section listed on their website, they haven't done any post/publicity aside from the one reel on their wildlife foundation's Instagram, it's very much not being marketed or pushed like it would be if it were meant to overshadow GD (for whatever reason). It's just something that was closed pre-covid, that people wanted to reopen, and that now is.

Good point. ST is their funnest and their headlining thrill ride but GD definitely strikes the fear in people more.  I am glad the garden and boats have reopened. Dreamworld are really cleaning up their park it’s amazing the transformation. 3 years ago or less dreamworld was basically a meme. Now it’s a genuinely great theme park and worthy in my eyes to take the crown as my favourite Aussie park. Though MW have some better rides MW lack the overall package DW offers. Especially when WWW is open

Not yet, but from memory it was just a round pathway with a sugar glider inside. The inside wall was just wood like the floor, pitch black except for part of the exhibit. The shonkyness gave it its charm (unlike bilbys and wedge tail.).

 

The video shows things i don't remember.

Gone are the days of charming half badly made stuff. There’s charm in janky stuff sometimes.  But it is probably good they are moving with the times. Even if it is a bit of a shame

I went through the twilight trail today and it’s the same, but better with new signage, lighting and glow in the dark stars (they don’t look tacky) as you walk in. The animals on show has obviously changed slightly since they were all removed several years ago. Great to have it back.

[REGIE]

Is it very large?

[themagician]

Large enough! There was about 10 different species in there 

[REGIE]

Wow for some reason from the Instagram post i thought it was like a broom closet . Where is it on the map?

[aussienetman]

It's a walk through near the kangaroo yard

[themagician]

On the map, he’s where the grass and trees are

You enter through this gate next to the Koala Photos

Then hang around the back of the Tree Kangaroos and go up the ramp.
