Whats happening at dreamworld

[whitsy]

Was at dream world today, when was walking there. Noticed that along the fence there’s a large plot of land with tree’s bulldozed (no its not the land from the BB house, something separate). Questioned a security officer about it but he not sure why though loll. So thought too see if any of youse knew let alone know what’s going on.

It's rollercoaster size!!! But since we been getting reports about that new coaster been sent here. bit funny this turned up as well. STAY TUNED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperYoshi]

What the B&M? Thats a rumor, it said nothing about it coming to Australia. Put it this way, the guy who kept saying it was heading to Australia.... it said he lives in Byron bay and he said he lives 10 minutes away from Dreamworld and Movie World. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet!

Where is this area?

[Dylaan]

Is it near WhiteWaterWorld? It could be for a new carpark or something seeing though they're meant to be extending the park for 'Stage 3'... If it was a coaster I think we would have heard from a definitive source by now or seen otherwise. Maybe you could ask on the V8 simulator blog?

Sorry for the double post but i had to point something out.

It's rollercoaster size!!!

What your telling me that there making them in S M and L now? It could be anything like what WnW_Rocks said it could be a car park.. EG, Compare the size of the Rugrats Reptar ride to Supeman Escape at Movie World ..... Lets just HOPE its a rollercoaster.

It's ok you didn't double post. But Yeah, I agree lets just hope for a rollercoaster though I am not holding my breath. MDMC was in 07 so my guess for the next big thing would be 2010 though I am not sure, maybe it will be another upcharge attraction. IMO 2010 is when Movieworld will also get its next big thing most likely a rollercoaster. Edited January 29, 2009 by cadboy

I hate to disappoint people but everyone but the cleared area is going to be an overflow car park.

[Dylaan]

^Is that for staff or park-goers?

[Gazza]

Park goers....An overflow car park was one of the conditions set forth for them to go ahead with the WWW expansion.

[Dylaan]

Ah, so it's progressing? I thought it was on hold so I'm definitely glad to hear that! Here's hoping to see it this year.

[wondercam]

^A few more rides for WWW and I think it will be definatly up to wet n wild's standards. Even higher. Can't wait for the lazy river.

lazy river

Now This may sound SILLY. But because I didnt have to wait in a line, or get off ... in line and time terms I think this is the best ride! (well at wet and wild) LOL Edited January 29, 2009 by Movie_World

[mickey_079]

^ Really? Every time I've been when its busy there HAS been a line, not long, but basically the river was full to capacity and you had to wait for others to get out for you to get in. Don't understand why people waited for it.

[Gazza]

Don't understand why people waited for it.

Because it would be rude to just barge in when there were other people waiting for tubes ahead of you.

Was the cleared land to the left of Dreamworld Studios along the front fence? that leads into Foxwell Rd? As it could be the clearing for the new shopping centre that has been pencilled in for that area. But at the same time could be general scrub clearing as to much of a fire hazard all that bushland on the left hand side.

Yeah along foxwell Rd.

No no I meant I don't understand why people would wait in line. Not why people would just push others who are waiting.

Just too clear things up here are a couple of clippings to detail what is going on.

Hey thanks for that, at the same time that is one hell of a walk to get to the main gates @ DW if that area is to be used as an overflow carpark. There must be plans afoot to put another entry gate in at this end, and used as required? Does anyone else think the same?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

It would be cheaper just to have a little shuttle bus of some description - like Disney used to do with the trams - of course, Dreamworld would only need to put it on for a few weeks in the year, so the cost of building a "Second" gate is not only unjustifiable, but the idea is just plain ridiculous.

[Gazza]

^Funny you should mention that...the provision of a shuttle was another one of the conditions of approval for WWWs expansion.

[Lotl_90]

I know its no help for those visiting WWW, but when they have the DW overflow carpark in operation, the Old Blue Lagoon Buildings are turned into a Makeshift Admissions building. On the hectically busy days, WWW park goers are directed into one lane of the entry, DW into the other, so that they can accurately monitor when to open the overflow for DW, but still have enough room for WWW guests. If that makes sense.

I hope they do get another car park, I don't care where - but waiting 20 minutes to leave through that one entrance every day is a pain in the ass - over the holidays of course.
