Rivertown Easter Eggs

[Michelangelo]

Gavin from Pico Play was on the latest Dane’s Theme Park Life Pod and shared there are quite a number of easter eggs scattered across Rivertown that nobody has noticed yet… 

Have you spotted them or any others not mentioned?

On my list to see next time I’m back…

The cards on the desk and the turbine joke somewhere

The homemade roofs on the MM vintage cars, are an Easter egg for the LR.    👍    //s

I think this might have been said previously but kudo's to the Dreamworld leadership team on the execution of Rivertown. Rivertown excels as an experience because as Gavin said, you had the genuine interest of the DW leadership team to add in things like easter eggs, depth to the story, repeat discovery etc. All the things that make up an expectational international themed experience. 

We can't lose sight that the key players in the Australian market are executing projects on our shores in the millions, not the billions. So when you really look at what's been achieved with Rivertown, all three of the keys parts of this land have been underpinned by operational planning, strategic planning, creative planning and most importantly collaboration. This isn't just one persons view or opinion of the finalised product, I have no doubt this is board collaboration within the team at DW. 

The unfortunate part is I couldn't confidently say the same about the project down the road. Both Pico products. Budgets may have varied. Internal timelines from conception to completion similar. Both benefiting from the expertise of the same OEM. However one of the biggest influences between the two when it comes to what we have now is no doubt what I've said above. 

If Dreamworld can continue this recipe in varying scale, then I look forward to their continued success and growth!

@Levram__If Rivertown didn't raise the bar of what is achievable in Australia, I doubt people would have been so critical and negative towards WOZ.

I don't believe there is any themed garbage bins in The New Atlantis, and nobody has ever said a word about it.   But in WOZ it's the end of the world.

there actually is themed garbage bins in The New Atlantis that are around from when Vortex opened.

Never seen them.  Just went through 1000's pictures looking for a bin and couldn't find 1.

 

How much does the front grounds of Leviathan give you the vibe of the front grounds of WOZ?

I don't complete disagree with this view, there certainly is going to be some benchmarking going on. However it doesn't change my statement. With or without Rivertown, WOZ would still be the same offering today based on the decisions made. Which in my view stems from the lack of operational planning, strategic planning, creative planning and most importantly collaboration. When an executive wanders the trade floor of an industry expo and commits to the purchase of a new attraction without first getting together all of the half a dozen key stakeholders from differing disciplines to collaborate on the project in a first instance then this is what you end up with, a fair comparison and a bar that will likely continue to be raised, within scale. 

No one may have said anything about themed garbage bins in The New Atlantis, I certainly didn't in my comment above. However what is fact is The New Atlantis was a far stretch from what was conceptually presented as an immersive experience/environment. Not to mention WOZ follows the same trend as The New Atlantis. Some things have been done right, however there is a lack of consistency and cohesion. The same can't be said about Rivertown.

WOZ outside queues are the worst queues in Australia @Levram__and we don't need Rivertown to tell us that.

Let's get back to the Easter Eggs.

After listening to the whole podcast and the previous Rivertown one where they mention Wizard of Oz  precinct. I think both the Peco manager and all the park enthusiast agree with what happened at Movieworld. It’s hardly ever mentioned in both podcast despite being asked.
