2015 in Dreamworld - ABC Kids World, V8 Supercars and more

Even then it isn't a big deal to change costumes.

Just means you need a few more staff to allow a rotation to include a change.

[JacobSibbald]

Is beg money that the same people saying they should rotate to different rides all day are the same ones saying how good Disney is to have every ride with unique costumes for the ops...

Doesn't mean they can't use the same system as Disney... Just have employees rotate within a single attraction: Greeter, Counter, seatbelt check, ride operator etc. seems to work.

Yeah I was pretty sure that was the case with Disney - they are themed to the same ride, they don't change costume - and they rotate around the positions within the ride so they're doing something different... except of course the lead - who generally mans the same post all shift.

That said - aren't most cast members in Aus wearing the same uniform all over the park?

[Spotty]

Movie World ride operators only wear the "Park Uniform" for Scooby Doo, Shows staff, WBK / RoadRunner and breaks.

If your working on Superman, Arkham, GL (if / when it re-opens), West, JL, Batwing you have to wear a designated uniform. Even if your only going there for 30 minutes your meant to wear a costume. The only exception was if you were going to Scooby Doo lift or high zone or Wild West Falls lift room where guests wouldn't see you break the theme.

I still remember that one time when Scooby Doo evacuated whilst I was in High Zone wearing an Arkham jumpsuit... the guests were a bit confused haha. Even some of the food and beverage staff wear special uniforms depending on the outlet they work in.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

That would have been quite interesting seeing an Arkham patient show up in the middle of a Scooby breakdown! lol.

[Spotty]

Even funnier if it happens to be a West breakdown. Happened to me when I was at Superman and got swapped to West. Had to sit in Lift because guests couldn't see me clearly, and then change into my "Park Uniform" on my first break. Ah, fun times.

The rear tiger viewing area was sectioned off when I visited Dreamworld today. Not sure how long it's been like that for, I wonder if they could be making a start on the proposed Tiger Island renovations?

[Brad2912]

Was open last Sunday when I was there so it's only been closed off this week

[Andrewh]

I'd really like to see the Motocoaster sold on, I'm sure Aussie world would take it! Then have a B&M put in its place, followed by reopening eureka mountain

[Santa07]

Don't think it's going any time soon... it's not even that old.

Then have a B&M put in its place

Yeah good luck trying to get them to buy one of them...

The newer members are always the same... wanting those B&Ms when in reality the day DW do get a B&M would be equivalent the day when disney open a park in Australia... *sigh*

[Sam Cash]

******Also, petition to have the anyone who mentions any of the following to have a 24-48hr ban...

- Replace Eureka

- Build a B&M coaster

- Move the vintage cars

- Remove/move/change the Motocoaster in any way

[Jobe]

Gee why don't you wish for Cyclone to be sold as well......now THERE is an original idea.....

[Andrewh]

TAKE IT APPART WITH AN ALAN KEY!

And put a B&M in it's place.

Or an intamin launched coaster, that would be better than the cyclone

[bladex]

if your PAYING for it than go for it

[AUSTHEMEPARKS]

^A gertsleuer would fit their profit just about right if they don't add theming.

The day dreamworld ever gets a B&M or any type of coaster above the $20mill mark will all be sitting in our wheelchair's watching our grand children ride it?

Dream on, kid. DW will never get a good coaster. As much as the idea of Australia's first B&M is a good one, it's too unrealistic, especially for a park like Dreamworld. Led Zeppelin was on sale a while ago and could have been a great fit for DW but it's now heading to Vietnam.

[Wil_i_am_not]

If possible, they should do an extension on the Giant Drop! However it would take ages to do and they would have to pull the whole tower down INCLUDING ToT2 so it sound a bit impossible to me.

Would be cool though

[Zanstabar]

It would be cool, but very costly / impractical, etc. If GD was to get some sort of makeover, ALA TOT2, I would love to see if it would be possible to get the Falcon's Fury style gondola (which pitches riders down to face the ground).

Could you imagine that? Riding ToT2 facing the ground, how cool! And to be honest, they would only need a new car to do that, a bit costly though.

Not sure if sarcasm or you just meant to write Giant Drop in place of ToT2.

[Brad2912]

At the park today and can am predicting soon TOT will soon no longer even go up the tower.

Struggling to clear the T in Terror, not even making it half way up.
