just the dismantling does seem more careful than I would have expected for a ride going to scrap

We haven’t got any evidence of how it was dismantled. We saw seats being detached and now it’s just the central column left. I can’t imagine they want to destroy it guns blazing if they plan on keeping everything else in the area for whatever the rides replacement is. I think it’s safe to say this is going in the bin and if any park were to buy it from them… terrible decision.

There’s no way any park would want it given its terrible reputation. It has proven to be extremely unreliable and even on the few occasions where it did operate correctly, the ride experience was average at best.

Though the ride itself is a lemon, the theming surrounding it is very good and I really hope Movie World can keep at least some of it when a new replacement attraction goes in (hopefully with the effects fixed up and working too). It’s a shame such a nice precinct was completely wasted on a dud ride.

Maybe MW will buy The Claw and pop it there… 👀

Trying to think of which Village burn fits best here...

The Flash Response: While they're not against relocating rides short distances, I do worry that by the time they get it open it'll be due for it's next 10 year tear down. 

The Vortex \ Wipeout Response: Village are big fans of installing attractions that are a bit of a downgrade to what Dreamworld had.

The Rivals \ FOTWW Response: What theme could they give it that would fit the new RAL 4006 Traffic Purple paintjob?

The Barnett response: How long you reckon it'll take them to do up all 32 seatbelts?

The Maloney response: Can't wait for 10 minute load times

 

Ok, i'm starting to scrape here - anyone else?

DD should have been a big Gyro Swing from the start.  Got caught up with, we don't install rides that are similar to other parks.  GL & DD turned out well.
