Yes its just a wave swinger, but I think just adding the fountains and music give it a bit more love than a standard one and a touch of whimsy.

Absolutely right!

Which is why it is just such a shame all that whimsy is erased by running that god awful lighting sequence which makes it look like a piece of tacky carnival crap. 
I just can’t understand why you’d go to all that effort with the extra detailing, lovely buildings, fountain, etc and then balls it at the finish line with those lights. 

In regards to the awful pop music that was playing at the park entrance and around the flyer recently, I emailed in my feedback direct to dreamworld. I initially received the usual “thanks for your feedback, we’ve passed it on the the relevant team”, however I was followed up this morning with an email straight from Greg Young. He thanked me for the feedback, and said that he shared my thoughts on the music and they have since reverted back to the classic/Disneyland style Main Street music. 
He also said they still have a few more things to touch up and complete at the front of the park that they are currently working on. Interested to know what that means? 
Anyways I thought that was worth sharing. If it’s worth complaining about on here, then perhaps it’s worth sending in the feedback. It’s clear that they listen and appreciate enthusiasts feedback 😊

I also noted several comments while lining up for the flyer about how quick the lines moved compared to the competition down the road! Yes it is a people eater with the number of seats, but regardless that’s some good customer feedback heading into the Christmas school holidays! 

That is very nice that he took time to respond directly, but more importantly agreed with you on the choice of music. 
 

These are the subtle unquantifiable items that make a huge subliminal impact on guest experience. 

Nobody is taking their kids to DW  for a free acid trip.  Hopefully they fix the lights soon.

Looks like the lighting is actually begin replaced entirely and will be much more suitable for the ride and the park as a whole. I think it should’ve been like this from the beginning, but great to see they’ve made the change. 

I'm not sure if it's due to the current light works, or winds but I did note the fountains were not running on Sunday.

The new lighting is just another feather in the cap for me when it comes to the in tune decision making DW leadership are making for the park. Not something they needed to do, but they have. It might be a small thing, something that's likely to go unnoticed, but you take a dozen small things and its start to become ongoing meaningful improvement. 

There was a fair amount of lights not working, DW might be changing, to a light, that is more reliable or cheaper to replace when it stops working.
