That is not true. Mate, I have no idea where you source your info from.

Messege from a reliable dreamworld source.

Bob tan is actually head engineer of Dreamworld, and I know this as he is a mate of mine personally, who gave me the opportunity himself to take up in some on-ride footage etc. And no, he's not planning some evil take over of the place, however, he does do alot of work in terms of themeing etc. of current park attractions, afterall, he is the head manager of engineering!

If Bob Tan WAS the sole owner of Dreamworld, I doubt he would very well be standing in the middle of the park oneday making decisions. It's highly unlikely that a foreign individual owner would have any interest in making such decisions, and he would have a team of people he trusts implicity working under him to make these decisions. The only input the owner would have in such a situation would be a "yes" or "no" to any proposal put forward by this team. Before anyone tells me that Bob Tan isn't the owner, I know that Dreamworld is the property of Macquarie.

I have seen the new Dreamworld ad on tv about wiggles world, just wondering have they completed the ride or did they use a mock set.

Bob Tan could be the owner or the boss. Dreamworld isn't Australian it's owned by a singapore( from memory could be somewhere else) guy who also owns a string of hotels all over asia, he only bought it because he liked the parks and seen it was up for sale at the time,  ever since he got the park he has put in a new ride every year.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Dreamworld is owned by Macquarie Leisure Group which is a part of the Macquarie Bank, which is Australian, not from Singapore and is listed on the ASX. On Wiggles World, I most likely will be attending the opening and am not looking forward to it. Last year whan they opened the Claw, they claimed they didnt have enough adult ride... So what do they do... build another themed kids area. Whats really interesting though is the two kids areas are practically advertising corporate icons. Suck 'em in while they're young...

I wonder if the Big Red Car Ride will just have "toot toot, chugga chugga...." playing in a continuous loop. It will be like Its a small world, DW style. As for farmyard friends becoming part of wiggles world, Bzzzzzz, wrong answer. Its just a stupid idea, Farmyard friends should remain a seperate entity.

Advertisement! For the first time i saw pictures on the TV of this... Looking good!

Can I ask the staff of Roller-coaster.com.au a question? Will Roller-coaster.com.au be at the Opening of Wiggles World, along with getting photographs & video of the New Wiggles World, right at the opening Ceremony?

Whats stupid is that they have the opening of Wiggles World at daytime (school day) which means i wouldn't be able to go.

Wiggles World opens to the public on Saturday the 10th of September 2005! You can still make it magpie.

Nothing to be that excited about!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Wiggles World for... ah... pre-schoolers?

I thought wiggles world opened tomorrow (thursday 8th sep). The wiggles are meant to be their for the opening and performing two songs.

2 songs? Thats crap!

But it's the Wiggles! Eveyone loves the Wiggles.

Nah, that's unfair. You can see why Dreamworld would put an attraction like this - to cater for larger demographics. I'm happy to say that I've never liked the Wiggles... ever...

Now we are just going to have little bloodly kids running around the park!

No they won't, they'll be running riot in Wiggles World. It'll actually decrease the number of little kids around other areas of the park.

You know there are more to Dreamworld's plans then what some 14 year olds think. Amazingly, Dreamworld are in a business, and part of their crazy plan is to place a marketable brand in the park, which attracts families. I know, I'm just as outraged as you!!!1! Really, I'm amazed that Dreamworld can open a new area which includes a new ride (DW's first dark ride?) and because its not a thrill its only worth complaining about? Also, Lunaparkfanatic, you've so far complained about Superman, Sherek and now this. Why are you so against everything the parks are doing?

I complained about Superman?... *confused* I just did'nt think it was such a good idea having 2 kiddies lands in the park... or maybe not so close to each other! Meh! I'll check it out when i go to Dreamworld next year!

Well i was having dinner tonight and i heard on the news on channel 10.. Wiggles World open! I jumped up like something had bit my ass and ran for the TV, i stood there and listened and watched! LOOKS REALLY GOOD. I think Dreamworld deserve something really good for this, I thought it was going to look really bad! :D

Wiggles World is now open! Congrats to Dreamworld on this fantastic new attraction!

No, Now it is. I don't think Wiggles World can open without Dreamworld actually being open.

Uhh... Paul, Dreamworld typically holds a media launch for any new major attraction, and Thursday was considered the official launch, and on top of that, I was there with Richard when he took the photos, so your post is quite void.

Seperated at birth?

Well I was at Dreamworld today to check out Wiggle's World but unfortunately the wait for the Big Red Car was about an hour and there was no way I would waste an hour to go on a ride with a top speed of about 2km/h so I decided to give it a miss. But Wiggle's World definately brightens up that section of the park.
