Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

yeah do that - but this time put Queen Elizabeth on the gondola, and have the background as Corkscrew, not Cyclone.

Sorry the Queen was too busy getting her photo taken to ride.

I can make another one if you like?

Can you duplicate the guy waving and put him everywhere. (maybe in the random thread so this doesn't go off topic)

Still listed as closed on their website.

Not doubting anyone here by all means, but I think I might hold off on its reopening announcement on my blog until official word is made. It could very well still be going through testing, just progressed to the stage of human passengers.

@Theme Park GirlAre you saying DW now test its rides on human passengers?

Well they're not allowed to test them on animals....

Genuine question, have you never been on afirst ride after a shutdown and hear "sending test run with live passengers" (or similar) over the PA system? 

[New display name]

Never. 

Even if that does happen they wouldn't do that for 5 days straight.

@Theme Park Girl here's a live video from a couple of hours ago. It definitely has reopened

 

[Theme Park Girl]

Like I said, I'm not doubting anyone that it has apparently 'reopened'. But I agree with @Slick and think it's odd that Dreamworld have not officially addressed it in any way, especially given its their last BiG9 to open and they haven't hesitated to share such news previously. So I'd rather wait for official word before posting anything ?

Not at all. It may very well just have something to do with testing the new procedure of having 20 people per ride for a few days before concluding that's what they want to keep doing.

Testing with human passengers doesn't necessarily put anyone at risk to the ride itself, as I said it may just be at the stage where they want to test new routines with boarding and loading etc. 

???

[Theme Park Girl]

There we go. Official word ???

LOL I'm not that smart to think of asking @Theme Park Girl

Since I visited the park on MW additional fencing has been put up. Now in front of JL and around the other side of the old batman arch. Maybe we will now see the arch removed (Photos TPSN)

From MW's attraction maintenance webpage:

Doomsday Destroyer - 23/02/2017 to 24/02/2017

It's a short maintenance period but hopefully it re-opens as originally planned this time.

The other scheduled maintenance period for Doomsday Destroyer (17/07/2017 to 28/08/2017) is still scheduled as originally posted on Monday.

Or maybe used for the new Batwoman Hyper coaster!

I see Dreamworld have changed the maintenance closure dates for the Wipeout -

It closes when HotWheels re-opens. I'd say they just don't want more than 1 of their thrill rides closed at a time.

[themagician]

DD is closed again for today and tomorrow

Superman Escape is now scheduled for maintenance on Monday 24th April and will reopen Monday 15th May 2017.

[Morphix]

It's been nearly 10 years since I last visited the strip of Australian parks. Sometimes I remember about this forum and log in

for my yearly lurk to find out the gossip of up coming attractions. I noticed Movie world Web page has the whole year of scheduled maintenance listed, but just in text form. I was wondering If there is/ I should make/You should make a color coded calendar info graphic that would have each month listed in a grid of maintenance for each theme park, so guests can work out a time to visit where all attractions are running. This calendar Could be sticky pasted on the top of the forums or main page.

Something like this  

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

a great idea - but sadly maintenance dates can often change or blowout - i'd hate to be the one responsible for maintaining it.

[rappa]

And they are published on each park's website so I see no need for them to be posted on Parkz. 

OR ANY OTHER FB PAGE FOR THAT MATTER

[Reanimated35]

It would be nicer in a calendar format though

[Morphix]

So in this format there would be a color bar such as Red For superman escape covering most of April, and another ride such as wild west Blue. The two different color bars are easily identifiable and visually it can be worked out easily what days all attractions run, otherwise try visit the maintenance page now and work out the best time to visit....many schedules overlap.

[rappa]

God forbid anyone in 2017 has to go to a bit of effort themselves and read the dates and work out if some of them are the same.
