Dreamworld AVPX Replacement

[Gazza]

I think its just the old building skin, stripped of the AVPX branding.

The cheapest looking theme park building ever. So hideous. And so out of place in that themed area. And it was no better when that big flat sign was attached either.

UPDATED: I should clarify - I actually have no problem with theme park 'sheds'. Some of the world's best rides are located in big sheds (show buildings): Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Indiana, Lassiters/Bermuda, Scooby. BUT at least hide it with a decent facade AND place it in an appropriate area

^I think those glass doors stuck down in one corner give me the vibe of the sort of unit you see in an industrial estate.

The new attraction needs to be themed around an automotive transmission spare parts shop or a air conditioner repairer or a cabinietmaker orsomething

To be fair, it is a bit early to judge how its going to look when it's finished.

[themeparkgc]

whatever stems from the AWE construction.

Just for anyone that missed the discussion last year:

Seems an appropriate time to just "Bump" this thread, now that we know it's still a Lasertag.

I believe this new attraction replacing AVPX will be known as 'Evilution' and will be opening mid September in time for the next school holiday period.

Dreamworld needs another roller coaster, the Cyclone is going be closed in the latter half of November, which means the park is free of any intense roller coasters.

[Brad2912]

Every ride needs downtime for maintenance. November is off peak and just before Xmas - no better time to have it down. There are at least 4 rides at DW that are more intense than Cyclone

Sources?

Through a recent shareholders meeting up and coming attractions for the theme park division were discussed and the name was confirmed for the September attraction.

[Park Addict 93]

I can confirm the name "Evilution" and it is on track for the september holidays.

[Brad2912]

Think the name is a little cheesy tbh.... Oh well. As long as the attraction is first class the name means very little

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

It's dreamworld. I'd love for it to be a first class attraction but unfortunately they've shown us they aren't interested in bringing in world class attractions anymore - all they want is the minimum expenditure to be able to trumpet a 'new' attraction each year.

This is like repainting Cyclone bright orange and changing the trains.... Different look, mostly the same ride. Like Sea Viper - it is remarkably the same, with a different look... however - when Sea World rebranded Corkscrew - it wasn't their only attraction for the year.

[Brad2912]

Whilst I agree it is not 'new' and really just a re-jig of a previous attraction, I believe this attraction will be bigger & better than AVPX. Guess we'll wait another 6 weeks and find out

It's now most likely(I won't say 100% otherwise Jobe would probably explode! Lol!) Resident Evil, the Film franchise. The next film is scheduled in Cinemas next year(Exactly 1 year after this attraction is opening, September 14th 2014) currently rumoured to be called "Resident Evil: Evolution". The film tag line? My guess... "Get ready for the Evilution" http://www.movieweb.com/news/exclusive-paul-w-s-anderson-confirms-resident-evil-6-will-end-the-franchise

I love the theme BUT.... what a terrible shame it is for a laser tag arena and not a ride. Such a waste of a good theme

[Slick]

So were going to have apocalyptic themeing in ocean parade? Okay. Sure. Why not.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I've seen several release dates touted for 'Resident Evil 6' but nothing i've seen so far gives 'evolution' as the rest of the film title.

Further more - if this attraction was intended to tie in with the release of the sequel, it wouldn't be opening around the same time as filming commences (filming to commence in the 'fall' of 2013 - being Sept-Nov).

Lastly, IMDB lists the location of filming for this episode as the WBMW studios on the gold coast. I'd be inclined to see it appear at MW, not DW.

It is possible that the franchise is being used in the attraction, but I doubt that it is specifically going to tie in with any sort of 'evilution' tag line. if that were the case - the intentional mis-spelling would be used on the tagline of the movie also.

Yes but not in the movie title itself. That would be bad grammar. "Resident Evilution" and "Resident Evil: Evilution" both don't make sense. It would be in the tagline, and the title would be RE: Evolution(keeping with the theme of previous titles like Apocalypse, Afterlife, etc) And crap, thanks for telling me something I didn't know... It's filming on the Gold Coast? Also I agree with your statement it won't be directly connected to the sixth film. It will mostly probably just be "Raccoon City" as the arena.

It took a while and a lot of frustration on behalf of the decent posters on this board but it looks like your actually learning. However i agree with AlexB on this .... there is nothing to indicate that this will be themed or tied in to the Resident Evil franchise. It COULD be but who knows for sure? Not you is the answer.....

Given Evilution is © of Sudden Impact, I'm going with generic theme rather than licensed.

I was looking at the terms and condition of the join the evilution competition on the dreamworld website, I noticed that they called it a 'Kevil Hill' competition. So I did a little research on kevil hill and found this: As the legend goes, Kevil Hill Oil Refinery Oil Tower was built by the [MENARA OIL COMPANY] Company of protest [Moco] center because of its location high in the mountains and beautiful nature of the hinterland of Jakarta in Bogor. There is a large explosion and fire at the refinery, and what it stands right now, is all that's left. It is said that ghost rig workers who died in the explosion was the 'Ghost's' who currently occupy the building in a police station [precinct] and who drove the last remaining tower of up and down to terrorize visitors and protested the blast and subsequent closure of the refinery business

[Jobe]

What... Your saying that it's not ABOUT Resident Evil the movie franchise?? *gasp* the shock and the horror!!! Nice pick up DazzaMoes!
