Dreamworld launches online Merch store

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

The title describes the thing. Dreamworld has launched a new online Merch store. 

Shop from five different outlets in the park including the Main Street Emporium, Tiger Island Bazaar, Fairytale Treasures, and the Lego certified Store (though the lego store redirects to a different site, the remaining in-park outlets are all hosted on the same site).

That’s good.  Dreamworld do have the best park merch of the Gold Coast parks.

I agree I have 2 of the Tower of Terror Mugs because they were so good. I miss To2. My favorite ride ever.

Did you not ride TOT before DW slowed it down?

Yeah, I have been doing it since 2014 it was still doing 160 kph then right. I know it did get slowed down with time but it was still my favorite ride even when it did go down hill.

It didn't really reach the full 160kph much after the mid 2000's. It certainly was not going the full height for pretty much its whole life as Tower of Terror 2. It only ever really made it the full way up the tower if the car was only half filled, but even then it was very uncommon.

To be fair it didn't go at the speed advertised for most of its life. Only footage i've ever seen it reaching the top is very early on in its career.

Speaking of tower, why doesn't dreamworld make merch for its past attractions like other parks around the world do? I didn't see any on the website, though I haven't visited in 5 years so things could have changed since then.

I bought some vintage thunderbolt and wipeout hats off marketplace the other week and they look quite good. You'd think those three rides would be great candidates for retro shirts (which is in at the moment)

With such a massive hole in their lineup with the losses of so many of their big attractions, perhaps retro throwbacks to old rides in Dreamworld might not be the image you want in the public's mind?

Of course, then you have the big issue - obviously you have to NOT produce thunder river merchandise, but then it's absence leaves a hole in the product lineup... what to do.....?

Two of the three rides I mentioned have already been replaced (indirectly but that’s beside the point)

Thunderbolt - gold coaster (if punters on Facebook think that despite them running next to each other for a couple of years then that is what goes)

Tower - Taipan

Wipeout - chairs, yeah you get the point on that one.

Obviously you’d avoid thunder river (or anything in gold rush country for that matter) with a 10 foot pole but that goes without saying. It’s a good opportunity to make some extra cash though you’re not spending much to make shirts. Though the case is strong especially when the current batch of investments are complete and there’s not so much of a gap in the lineup anymore. If dreamworld is happy to change their logo back to the 80s one then I think they’d be happy to make some thunderbolt shirts.
