Revised Dreamworld Map - no Rocky Hollow Log Ride

[themagician]

DWs park map has now been updated and removed TRRR, Big Brother studio and interestingly the Log Ride too. The train circuit has been changed, the LEGO Store has been added, as well as a tiger image on the billboard where the Cub Kindy is.

Courier Mail say no Big 9 if you can believe what they say.

No log ride on the map is a concern...

how can the train circuit change?? 

[themagician]

@Brad2912 I agree, definitely a concern with the log ride, but it is still listed on their website, so will have to wait and see what happens. 

And I meant it's visually changed on the map where it used to show it going around the studio, but as it isn't on the map, they've modified the train, but this might not necessarily mean the trains actual route has changed, unless they modified it while the parks been closed.

I think @T-bone would be best to answer that. A quick look at nearmap compared to the images above - it doesn't appear to have a switch (or in fact a turning circle large enough) to permit it, but i'd say since they've cut the other elements out of the map, it looks easier to condense the 'big circle' into a small corner. it's not accurate, but i daresay the park map isn't to scale anyway...

I think Alex is on the money here, it's safe to say the track circuit wouldn't have changed. The sharp sudden gradient of the land in the area around the tower would make it almost impossible. Happy to go into why it wouldn't work if you would like me to.

Who thinks Vintage Cars are part of Gold Rush?

I think the track changes on the map is just so DW doesn’t have to show 1/5 of the park is not functioning.

@Santa07 I will ask my doctor tonight.

Surprised they didn't lump GD in with AWE since it's closer and more connected than Gold Rush (assuming the path through the middle of Goldrush is closed off).

 

I must admit I haven't ever been a fan of Dreamworld's current map style, makes the place look cold and less fun to be in, the compromise with the train is pretty understandable, but it does add to that general vibe.  Also I don't know why, but I suddenly want them to do a short Captain Sturt style show with the train at Blue Lagoon.

Pretty inevitable really. Custom ride, not from a big brand name, after what happened with TRR, it was bound to go. 

The last remaining flume ride will be WWF, because it's made by a subsidiary of White Water West. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I would very much like to see both DW and SW take immediate steps with a reputable flume manufacturer to install a replacement. Every dry park needs some sort of water attraction - especially on the gold coast!

Dreamworld have confirmed that there will be no access to the Thunder River Rapids and will be blocked from visitor view.

As it doesn't anything about the log ride being closed off tomorrow would be the right time to have a look down at the log ride.

Interesting development but not at all suprising. Disappointing nonetheless

[Reanimated35]

I'm going to assume that Trump has been getting some practice in and has built quite a few tall walls around the park while it's been closed.

Goner be a very hot and dry time at dreamworld this summer with no TRR and maybe no LR to cool off on, and to think maybe how much longer some of the ques will be with the other rides, with these two rides out of action for the indefinite future..

Hmm, so DW might be scrapping the "Town of Gold Rush" and "Rocky Hollow" areas now, and integrating them together. With the Big Brother House off the map, they could possibly add a massive ride to replace it and TRRR. 

Also, it will be a pain in the ass to get to Giant Drop now because of TRRR's immediate area being blocked off. It may possibly harm its already low ridership.

If only there was a place nearby that had water, and maybe even some sort of tunnel or trough you could sit in with water running down it and be propelled towards a larger volume of water contained within an area designed for the purpose of holding liquid.

Pretty sure last time i checked not every one has a pass to whitewater world mate.

[Tim Dasco]

Dreamworld and WWW are included in the same entrance price.

[themagician]

But passes come with WWW and single day tickets now come with WWW too.

Well there ya go last time i was there we couldn't jump between the two parks with a single day dreamworld pass.

[themagician]

I could be wrong, so someone correct me if I am, but Im fairly sure for a while now that if you bought a DW ticket, it gave you entry to WWW, but up until now you could also buy a single entry just for WWW, but that isn't an option now.

Even if this is true (which it's not as previously pointed out) you've always got wipeout - not a lot of water but it's a nice cool-down ride if you know where the hot seats are (well, more like the cold seats).

[Brad2912]

All annual passes have included both parks for at least a couple years as far as I know. I've never seen a Dreamworld only annual pass
