Pitty to hear no water rides will be open. I really doubt 3 and a half hours will be enough to get many rides in. It'll be good if you can just stay in the park from when it opens to the end of the night. 12 hours would be nice! My parents will never let me go though. Damn.

This sounds like a great improvement over the "Fright Night" they had last year. Quite a few of the issues brought up by people (including by some on this site) are taken into account, and its really good to see the park respond so positively to the guests input. Everyone wanted less tickets, more rides and longer hours, well Dreamworld is delivering all of those and then some. Well done! The only remaining issue is with how the park handles closing the rides by 10, as that was the big fiasco last time. Its kinda surprising they aren't closing the rides at 9.30 this time around, since saying rides are open until 10 implies queues will be open till 10, though in reality it means "everyone off the rides by 10". Still, probably a minor issue in what sounds like will be a good night.

This is a great value added service for the business!! MW & SW do very very well out of their functions so I guess they pose less of a need to run these sorts of events. Personally, I think 3.5 hrs will be more than enough considering the number of rides open and relative few number of tickets sold should ensure shorter waits.

Will DW be doing the thing where you can go in when the park opens and then stay for the night event? I think they did last time but you had to pay an extra ten dollars when you went in to the park. Is that right or....? Also, I agree with Joz, DW are starting to listen to the problems and think about them.

At least Slick will be happy, by night the graffiti will be harder to see This sounds great. Having never been to DW past the 'usual' closing time, I'd be looking to go one of these nights.

Ha, it just occurred to me. Screamworld is Dreamworlds April Fool's Joke. You pay your $30 and when you arrive at Dreamworld, they have a speaker telling you they're not even opened. That would be hilarious.
