Oh and why be dark on Dreamworld?

I dunno, maybe because they LITERALLY kill people through their incompetence.

BaHaHa my good man, I know people are dark on DW for killing people.

Why are people dark on DW because the new owner of the cars doesn’t want to share his toys with us

?

(If this is the case)

 

Example of someone blaming DW.

To the average tourist that is surely far more exciting than a mere exhibition of an internationally famous racing car drivers cars and awards, accompanied by related interactive games and merchandise, no?

MDMC should be moved into this shed.

 

This is actually a good idea - the the MC will be in an area where it actually makes sense, and it opens up a fairly large area for a new attraction.

[Brad2912]

A ridiculous idea. In what world are Motor GP races indoors? How does that make sense? 

What theming are you putting indoors? Will it be dark? If not, what is the point? 

[-nick.white.1543]

Oh yeah, duh, I didn't think about that🤦‍♂️

But then again, how does anything at DW make sense ??

The same theming it has outdoors?

None of which would be visible in the dark, which takes me back to my main point - why would you move a ride from outside to inside if you were not making use of the building? If you are going to flood the building with light you may as well leave it where it is... 

[-nick.white.1543]

It might not be about having an indoor ride though. It might be about moving it to a section of the park where it seems like it belongs, I guess ?? Idk though.

[Brad2912]

A park this is or appears to be fairly capex light shouldn’t be spending hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars on a ride relocation just to “make it fit better”.

”MDMC: The Indoor Experience” won’t bring a single extra person through the door 

[Whombex]

One way MDMC could work in that shed is to theme inside to an outdoor race track (Surfer's Paradise Supercars style?) with a fake sky, and change the trains to cars.

 

...just being whimsical.

But it might not be about that. It might be about freeing up its current location so they can build a new attraction that will bring extra people through the door there.

The building could potentially be used to accommodate a dark ride,  but it would have to be a new ride and appropriately themed.

Definitely not just an existing ride relocated!

DW are in no position to blow millions of dollars relocating MDMC, only to blow a few more million to put a new ride in its place.
If DW did build a new ride, don't you think they would more likely make use of the abundance of land that's currently sitting dormant behind a fence?

STOP TRYING TO MOVE MDMC

[-nick.white.1543]

@Jdude95 All very fair points. I completely forgot about the whole gold rush area of the park. So forget everything I have said in this thread and pretend I didn't say a word 🙃

[iwerks]

^What about the Blue Lagoon area, the Big Brother area and the Bushranger show island. Aren’t they free?

I would have thought MDMC would have been too tall for the building, anyway. It would be good if they had a worthy exhibit like the Lego Brickman ones or the touring dinosaur ones there.

I mean really, if they had any interest in not being shit, the building IS in Ocean Parade. They should be looking to do something like Voyage to the Iron Reef at Knott's. Not a cheap out version, literally that exact same ride. Get some family appeal in there, have a dark ride offering, and ease back into adding rides without the impression they might be 'scary' in any way.

100% agreed.

TPSN just posted this. Looks like it won’t just be an events space forever

Coming soon 'The Void' - looks like an empty shed, smells like an empty shed. Experience it this Summer at Dreamworld

It's the definitions of "exciting" and soon" that concern me.

[Brad2912]

And “attraction”

Re-reading the above sign, I realise my mistake. They never said "soon". I just assumed because such signs nearly always do. Oh well. It may be somewhat honest then (or nobody could prove otherwise)!

For god’s sake Dreamworld, make it a dark ride! Make it a dark ride! They were talking recently about making a dark ride (but in the Gold Rush area)?. When I walked through it the other week I was horrified that the Brock cars could be considered a theme park attraction, but I do remember thinking that building would make a perfect dark ride. Make it a dark ride!

Looks like the collection is to be auctioned off individually. 😥

All gone but not forgotten - there's still heaps of signs up despite it being closed for over a month now. You can do way, way, way better Dreamworld.
