I agree with the general opinion on WWW not being open. 
 

I think it is crazy to wait until December 15 to reopen WWW for full week operations, when many school goers finish in mid-late November (Year 12), I do hope that DW trust that people will come to at least have WWW starting full week trading before then ideally mid November. 
 

it doesn’t even need to be a full park for full hours. But when summer is right around the corner and DW has no water rides I think it would be for the best to have WWW open to at least offer different experiences then just roller coasters. 
 

If we can’t have WWW as an option to visit just for staffing reasons, then maybe just offering the green room tower, fully 6 and wave pool would be enough.

Both the Good Lord and I reckon, there should be more focus on website quality and functionality and less attacks on other people for expressing a point of view! 

Lol - nobody attacked you for your opinion - And all I did was counter it with my own. 

As for website quality and functionality - you wot m8?

Agreed! A lot of schools do end of year trips to the theme parks too, missing out on that potential market.

They’d make less money and no one will pay to go to quarter of the park. In my wind it’s either open the whole thing or dont, there’s no other option.

I’d speak with park management about the potential of opening WWW full time again (or at least more than it currently is) and they aren’t against the idea, but when you may out all of the info (demand, costs, etc) it hasn’t made sense from a business perspective to have it open more than it is.
 

My initial reaction to this was the park needs investment to make the park more appealing so that more people will won’t to go. I understand closing for the winter, but not opening more regularly (ie opening full time from late November) still seems like a strange choice.

I agree, Dreamworld isn’t the same as it was since Covid.
Crowed levels are drastically more and I don’t think the Covid era hours will help DW in the competition between them and Village

Must be hard to get good staff who are willing to only work 2 days a week to December.

This conversation has several pages of conversation unrelated to King Claw.  Perhaps it should be spun off into a new thread?

Agree @wikiversebut there is nobody around to move the thread.

As is typical in ride construction threads, updates taper off once most vertical construction is completed. We will see updates when it undergoes more testing and\or finishing touches are added but for now the conversation is pretty stagnant, and this is what happens when tangential discussions spin off. Sure, it's off topic but there isn't any specific rule to that is there?

The conversation on King Claw will return when there is an update.

I couldn't find a better photo, but my first thought would be to put this sort of thing over the support legs like the old claw -

 

The base looks very 'unfinished fibreglass' so it's likely getting covered at the bottom.

Here, Reddit already dumbed it down for you.

No troll here matey. I'm legitimately and genuinely holding a different opinion to you and challenging yours on the basis of the one I hold. 

That's called a debate. 

Labelling someone you disagree with a diminutive label instead of engaging with them on the facts of their argument is the kind of garbage coming out of the US at present. They can't debate the facts so they just label them to try to discredit them.

I'm still scratching my head over the website functionality comment. What is it you think I do?

We’ve got more theming! 🌊🦑⛵️- Photo from Dreamworlds socials. 

The video showed that claw being from the original Claw ride. 

Yep - like the nods to old attractions in Rivertown too...

Really loved the detail of the monsters tentacles wrapping around the wrapping, simple but really effective and fun. Seeing the level of theming dreamworld has given everything these past few years has me hopeful for the level of theming and storytelling they could give to a future dark ride or water ride at the park.

It was great in Rivertown but this new love affair with nods, is staring to become a bit meh.

The theming is looking good! Photo taken from Dreamworlds Facebook

I think he just likes to complain. He's the Robb Alvey of Parkz.

@LeviI'm so sorry my post doesn't please you.  Maybe this post will be more pleasing for you.

I disagree. I think for the claw replacement its perfect, but I hope they don't do this for every ride in the future.

Would prefer them to make a little museum off to the side in a corner or something.
