New passes at Dreamworld

[pushbutton]

I have a Platinum pass for Dreamworld which expired 31/12/17. Like all passes it has been extended an extra 6 months, but yesterday it would not work to open the turnstiles. 

A staff member informed me they had changed to a new style of pass and would print a new one for me. 

I was expecting another piece of paper which I would have laminated like the previous one. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was handed a plastic card.

I now have plastic passes for the Village and Ardent parks.

Much more suitable for long term use in my opinion, and whilst the design of both could be more creative, I would say theDreamworld one looks significantly better than the Village one.

The park have been printing plastic passes since February, but agree it is great to see they spend that little bit more for much better quality.

Out of curiosity, has anyone got the VR One Pass yet? Is it plastic and what print is on it?

I recently bought a VR One Pass and was extremely disappointed it was printed on the same flimsy plastic film as the VIP pass. I'll give them the benefit of hoping they are just trying to use up existing stock before they order more but I was expecting something more solid for such a price increase.

Fingers crossed your theory is correct, because after all the improvements the parks have been making, this is one major thing I want them to fix. It’s so much nicer to have a proper plastic card. And they haven’t even used a proper photo of DC Rivals, still the rendered image they were using before the ride was even open.

But much nicer than the Membership card, which just has the Village logo on the front and nothing else.

Since at least December 2016, which is when I got mine (weekend of reopening).

Wait,  ALL PASSES? I had a Summer Pass which am pretty sure it expired on the 24/12?

Just to be clear, are the Summer Passes also extended?

[Brad2912]

The only passes that were extended were those that lost time due to the closure

Thanks for clarifying @Brad2912, in that case will be happy to wait till end of the year before renewing😁

I bought mine after they reopened and it came with 18 months validity. So I think it was a temporary offer for new passes too.

Wait, were the Platinum membership passes at Dreamworld not always printed on a card? 

I joined in April 2016 and it was a card. It does have a very small graphic of TRRR on the back tho.

Mine started December 2015 and was printed on very thin cardboard. They may have changed it during the following months.
