Tiger Island Refurbishment - Dreamworld 2016

Featured Replies

The Brock museum is a pretty decent walk through and even though I'm not interested in racing cars I enjoy it more than ZE.

  • No doubt folks here will appreciate a more in-depth look so i've attached a few shots. Giving the kids a chance to get up so close to the tigers is a big win, which will no doubt inspire more of the n

I never got to do ZE, but always enjoyed the AvP. It was a good attraction, and as already stated, something people wanted to do have go at. 

I am pleased that TI is getting a refurbishment. Hopefully it's what was supposed to happen last year, with seating for crowds to make watching the talks easier. It would have been great if DW did use the building for a dark ride, but I'm not complaining. There is are a number of other spaces that could be used for a dark ride.

I know I'm going to get hate from this but.....Since that whole area of the park is  now v8 themed wouldn't you think if there's still space back there from the thunderbolt it would make sense to move the Moto coaster into that area of the park if there's enough room for it ?  

Why would you want them to spend several million on relocating a ride instead of buying a new one. Just think how long the empty space will then have to sit there because they wasted their capital on pointlessly moving the ride. 

Best case scenario for it will be to get a cohesive theme in that area where it is now, then buy a couple of new trains for it matching the new theme.

That does make more logical sense I do agree I think a change in theme will eventually happen it appears ardent is attempting to make the themed areas flow better  instead of random placement of attractions like in the past

I am wondering though how the new Tiger area will flow, since half of it will be near ocean parade, and the other on the other side of Kung Fu Panda land.

I think it's going to be attached to The Lair, seeing that KE is right behind that is where the Cub's enclosure would be

If all this is true, this would be my guess. 

The area in red forming the whole tiger island setup (how that would be broken down I'm not sure) with the blue representing the entrances. The yellow could form a new store OR, the blue near the yellow wouldn't exist as an entrance, and instead would be the rear of the exhibit with the kevil entry now forming a new shop/staff area.

I'm sure the whole area will just be expanded as one cohesive area and you will never even know it was smaller and different before.

 

If it  is the expansion of Tiger Island I would of thought it would of been done for it's anniversary last year but you never know may be if it is an expansion of tiger island of course they something in Gold Rush Country next the year after it's anniversary like tiger island something I don't know EUREKA.:D

^Are you a legit WWW worker?

I confirmed shockwave as a disko coaster and also confirmed the steam train to return to a somewhat regular running. I have also announced some ideas thrown around while Macquarie were in charge including a giga that never came to fruition due to the whole town centre deal. There was also plans for a jungle cruise inspired ride after captain stuart had closed permanently but was not built due to research conducted that the ride was not viable. ( The powers that be thought there would not be enough ridership.)  was once known as www worker but have since changed emails and forgot the old password. Eureka was in the plan to reopen but cyclone came up, it is still on the table and high up in the priority list. Facebook replies are just that don't want to confirm anything, like what happened with the huge www expansion (which they are still approved for but that doesn't mean it will happen fair way down on the list) I prefer the money spent on refurbishment as well as rhe bosses.

 

P.S For those wondering I started at www when it opened worked at WNW for 3 months. In those 9 years have been able to work up to upper management. 

 

P.S.S Movie World's world class attraction has nothing on DW's New ride this year 55M to be spent on both parks leadin to 2018 including 1 or 2 refurbishments

So you worked at WWW, then did a 3 month stint at WnW before returning to WWW/DW? 

Why the short term change in companies? or was that a typo?

That is a typo worked at WNW for three months before WWW opened sorry about the confusion.

Well that is around 18.3* Million a year for the next 3 years than. That could get something decent for Dreamworld. Like a roller coaster that is Cedar Point standard or a B&M. An actual full circuit roller coaster.

I want to believe, but you seem to be contradicting yourself sometimes.

Well no one at Ardent know what VRTP have planned while they have three major parks. We have 1 and a half parks, big brother house and blue lagoon including the arena for BB live shows will be demolished by the end of the year in prep for 2018 ( it will be a huge construction project in that area around September)

The expansion/ renovation for Tiger Island was indeed planned for 2015, however it was put on hold a few days before construction was due to start. I'll give you 3 guesses as to why it was stopped. It got as far as markings being made on the concrete in the area.
