Wow... I have never heard such a large group of whingers.

Yes DW have a few rides closed but the park still offers a great day out. 

TOT2 - Closed for obvious reasons, may need major upgrading ect.

Wipeout - Only just gone down for maintenance

HWSW - General Maintenance

Buzzsaw - May only have been closed for this long because the access to that area of the park has been restricted while parts for iRide are craned across from the old bus shelter area over the buzz saw entry.

I was there over the weekend and the place was still buzzing with happy guests. Dreamworld is still rebuilding, which takes time. I have confidence in the park that they will continue to deliver new experiences and maintain the great atmosphere that they pride themselves on. 

TBH i hope i don't see anyone from this forum thread at Dreamworld, it would make the park a very negative place.

I agree.  The last few times I've been there the park had a fantastic happy atmosphere. Much more so than Movie World in my opinion. 

I couldn't have cared less about some thrill rides being down. I found more than enough things to enjoy. 

Push does make a point, there is more to a theme park than big thrill rides.

I guess the next question is, are they managing to keep the rest of the park running?

Faded paint and signage is indeed quite the attraction.

Good thing someone is "standing by Dreamworld" because not many are these days.

Yeah - because killing 4 people had absolutely nothing to do with the current negativity.

As for whingers - paging Mr Kettle - Mr Kettle - there is a call for you from Mr Pot. Please pick up the black courtesy phone.

At least we know buzzsaw is on its way back slowly. I-ride possibly open before the holidays begin then??

Better chance of ToT running a month straight without breaking down...

Are you saying it's not ok for theme parks to kill people?

Depends. Is it Disney?

I dunno... after what's come out of this inquest, it's looking more like ardent leisure are in the business of hired killers rather than theme park operators.

Never seen this message before.

 

Probaly been there for a week

These first showed up when Buzzsaw, TOT and HWSW's reopening dates were posted

Hi guys, Shockwave broke down for nearly the whole day today and is now closed for unexpected maintenance similar to wipeout.

Edited October 9, 20188 yr by themeparkaddict

Nearly the whole day?  Bloody hell, that's got to be at least three, maybe four cycles?

Did some one say Dreamworld cost cutting🤔 sounds like Dreamworld are trying to save money by not employing many maintenance teams or keeping the spare parts shelves stocked?

Jesus.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. I feel bad for Dreamworld, rides closing left right and centre and the whole coronal inquest. God I hope they can pull it together in time for the opening of the i-Ride (Although I doubt they will, SIGH).

If I was in charge of Dreamworld I'd only employ one maintenance team.

In my opinion, one's enough for any theme park.

How do you qualify that opinion?

Well, 1 is higher than 0. Dreamworld seem to have 0 maintenance team.

It's something I learned long before I started going to school!

It does indeed seem to be the type of logic one might expect from somebody who had yet to start going to school.
