Was going through some old video tapes i found in at my parents place. came across some footage from a family trip to Dreamworld in 1993. Includes some footage of the village green, enchanted forest railway, Dreamworld Railway, Captain Stuart river boat and the sky way.

I put timestamps in to description to jump to each section. The capture wasn't great so jumps around a little but its fascinating to see how different the park was back then.

I have some footage from Wet n wild, movie world and sea world as well but not alot. Let us know if anyone is interested. 

Really great footage buddy however might I suggest doing the capture again? The amount of dropped frames makes it a real tough watch. Awesome otherwise. 

Great footage Smitty, agree with Slicks comment about the dropped frames, as the footage is just fantastic.

It really shows a different time in the parks history, such a shame how things have turned out for the park. 

It is a shame but I reckon once the inquest information is released and with the opening of sky Voyager I think things will return back to normal with large crowds. 

Well it looks like this thread well and truely died. My Dreamworld research is about to take a lot longer haha

SEQ parks, (for the most part) in the 80/90's look bettererer than 2day!  (Life lesson: never let a bunch of mean bean-counters, at a merchant bank buy a theme park....it'll be the beginning of the [near] end!)

i whole heartedly agree with you. although coast entertainment are starting to try and bring DW back to life, they still have a long way to go.
