Modern day Dreamworld ain’t doing anything like that!

Why not ? Greg did mention it in media 

@dbo121 my thinking is because that original ‘launch’ stunt was done by the tv show ‘Rove’ and the current Dreamworld is trying to target families. (Sadly) im sure there are plenty of people who would complain online on how this is disrespectful, immature or whatever else people want to think.

Im not against them doing it if they wanted to, but I just can’t imagine they will.

Fair enough . Too be honest it’s the last thing I want to see and we don’t need anything getting caught up and causing seatbelt injuries 😕

To be fair it was an out-of-hours stunt, wasn't privy to young eyes and created enough positive PR its still being spoken about here 20 years later. 

Whilst we don't really have those nighttime entertainment shows these days, and PR is created largely by influencers, not tv shows nowdays, i don't think the park would be vehemently against such a "stunt" for the correct audience. Greg's pretty savvy and knows how to leverage different areas of the market. It was only early last year under Greg's watch the entire park was rented out to a bunch of social media party boys for a birthday that saw scantily clad women parading around and pole dancing shows and the like

Big Brother has been confirmed to be back on Channel 10 later this year, but so far there hasn’t been any mention of DW in the announcements.

"Notably absent from the renewal was any confirmation around a return to Dreamworld this year, with the site understood to have been reconsidered alongside other Gold Coast locations, including Movie World’s purpose built studio facilities and other suitable options. The Dreamworld setup faced production challenges last season, including an uncovered outdoor stage impacted by weather, proximity to park guests and constraints of housing the set within the convention centre, factors understood to have fed into negotiations between Dreamworld, Endemol Shine and 10."

CONFIRMED: 10 locks in 2026 season of BIG BROTHER AUSTRALIA

After a buzzy reboot and a lengthy wait for fans on its renewal, 10 has confirmed Big Brother will return, but will the series return to Dreamworld?

Well at least Gold Coaster won’t be shut down for 6 weeks this year…

Doesn't necessarily mean that. Everything listed there doesn't need to be done onsite. If they really wanted to, it doesn't even need to be on the same side of the planet.

They literally said 'must be willing to work on-site in Brisbane'

I meant on-site at the house itself.

Annnnnd it's outta Dreamworld (https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2026/06/03/exclusive-big-brother-moves-to-brisbane-media-mcknight/):

BIG BROTHER’S NEW HOME

Channel 10’s Big Brother is on the move.

There have been rumours the show is leaving Dreamworld due to a conflicting booking at the Convention Centre, and that is absolutely true.

Media McKnight can reveal the show is moving to Brisbane and will air around the same time as last year, but will go a week longer this time.

There’s a lot riding on this season of the show with Channel 10 putting a lot of its eggs in the Big Brother basket, after cancelling a string of shows, the most recent being I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

And yes, that was revealed here first.

At the Screen Forever conference earlier this year, 10 Executive Sarah Thornton reinforced the need for the show to be live and not just available on one platform, saying:

“It was still the most-streamed show on 10 streaming of the year. And it’s worth saying that it’s not that Gen Z didn’t find it on linear TV either. You know, we still won 16 to 39 and 25 to 54 demos. So they were there.”

“The other thing that’s worth saying is it works so well for Big Brother because the point of the show is that it’s a national conversation. Can you have a national conversation these days if you only exist in one place? You probably can’t.”

And she’s right.

What 10 did so well here was allowing the livestream to be available on platforms like TikTok – it didn’t just limit itself to the Channel 10 platforms.

It’s a strategy backed up by Director of Content at Endemol Shine, Amelia Fisk:

“It was about just creating awareness and capturing an audience and then pushing it back to the daily show to broadcast and every decision and strategy around that was to kind of push back into broadcast.”

While this year the season will only be a week longer, I think it’s fair enough to assume a much longer season next year, especially if this one is as successful as last year.

Thank god for that, now we never have to talk about Big Brother again.

I heard a previous VRTP exec is on Big Brother this year

Big Brother better hide his wallet.
