“Sky Voyager is the perfect name, as it will take guests on an Australia voyage by air, creating a truly unforgettable experience, which will only be available at Dreamworld,” Mr Hancox added.

Dreamworld and Brogent are looking for further opportunities to collaborate on similar projects and bring these experiences to other destinations in the future.

The contradiction in these 2 statements...

It makes no sense to spend 17 million on a draw card attraction and build the same attraction in Sydney unless???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[themagician]

Building one in another location will be a very bad decision, especially if it’s done within the next couple of years. They need to at least let the attraction bring the crowds to DW, and maybe in 5 years time, build another one somewhere else (but I sitll don’t think that’s a good idea either)

unless.....Ardent have no interest in the future of Dreamworld, and are gearing up to sell it.

It could be argued that this attraction, the WWW expansion, plus other small improvements (new paint at WWW), are being done to 'spruce up' the park in order to achieve a better outcome when it comes to the sale.

I don't think a WWW expansion and new 17 million dollar ride are "small improvements."

[WalleyWorld]

^ @Gold Coast Amusement Force I agree that WWW expansion and SkyVoyager aren't small improvements. Maybe my previous post reads badly. I meant to say: "It could be argued that this attraction, the WWW expansion, and other improvements (new paint at WWW), are being done to 'spruce up' the park in order to achieve a better outcome when it comes to the sale".

They definetly won't be adding 17 million plus however much the expansion costs back in park value. And if someone is going to buy the park, they won't just see it from the highway and realise everything else is old and tired and not repainted.

[Brad2912]

Assets are assets when it comes to selling, so yes it does add $17 million (minus labour and clearing) to the park value, but it will also (hopefully) create an attendance lift, which also lifts valuation. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Yes, the real value here isn't the value of the plant and equipment for the ride, but the hopeful positive lift to reputation, which as we all know from RCT, is keenly important to the success of any park.

this is why they need to remove their no entry signs from in front of the exit, and not launch tower of terror to fast so as to send the car off the end of the track.
