Dreamworld / WWW Update

That's disgusting.

They should absolutely be running the train during these works. If the train isn't running, then they should built temporary fence, or crowd barriers along the train line to allow people to bypass the demolition works. Hell - even if they pulled out the shunting loco, and just ran it as a shuttle to and from central and rocky hollow (contra-flow) it'd be better.

What the hell? This park used to be the pinnacle of crowdflow because the whole park was designed as a giant loop made up of smaller loops in the specific areas. This is just blowing my mind how management have fucked pretty much every aspect of a theme park.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Well, when you lose the loop through goldrush, and then the backup loop down the train line...

I mean - it's a bit like Disneyland closing fantasyland and one half of the hub. Its a long way around, but there isn't really any other way to avoid it if the works required are that extensive...

The other way would be to coordinate the maintenance of those attractions with the path closure.

^then people would just be bitching about the long walk to corroboree.

What they should have done was opened an alternative path, even if it crossed the rail line, and suitably fenced it so people still had direct access to Rocky Hollow.

Corroboree is always a long work no matter which way you go.  

What they should have done is sell DW after they realised how incompetent they are. 

The problem with that is only a competent person would know that they are incompetent.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I was moreso making the point that even if the ride maintenance was timed well, people would still find things to bitch about.

I wondered just how much longer around it is, and I was surprised that it actually isn't that much... according to nearmap, from the front gate, to corroboree station, its 509 metres going via GD and Rocky Hollow. (not as the crow flies, but actually following the paths, including the elevated ones)

Going past central station, through wiggles world and past billabong to get to corroboree station its 639 metres...

So yes, if they could have synchronised the maintenance for GD and RHLR, it wouldn't be such a big impost for people.

For those wondering - with the path open, its 252 metres to GD, and another 70 metres to RHLR. The same pathway through Wiggles world will take you 840 metres to get to RHLR and 910 metres to get to GD.

Walking a kilometre in a theme park is nothing really - (when there are amazing attractions all the way along) but the issue is that there really isn't much appeal for most thrillseekers on the way here, and almost half of that route is devoid of even a token attraction.

 

As I said before... that's just disgusting.

Yes I would.

Update from early November. Pretty much the entire land is flat now, with only a small part of the reservoir and channel to go. There is about 6,600m squared of land here that's been cleared.

The dirt stockpile is in the Blue Lagoon.

[Thrill Seeker]

The stock pile in blue lagoon is not dirt. It is the chewed up trees that get put into the gardens.

I want to know who is chewing up the trees.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^Angry ones. They got evicted from Nickelodeon Central for some bloody panda.

Soon to be Lazy Dam

[Brad2912]

So they removed the AstroTurf and re-installed the river that now is home to the new turtle exhibit!

Sorry but it is a video again. However hope you can enjoy it still. It shows the first glimpse at the Lazy River earth works, TRR demolition and a bit more in depth Sky Voyager update.

"No sign of the ride remains"

Except that concrete wall right behind the text that formed part of the rapid channel.

 

I had seen demolition of the channel wall in other areas, but it doesn't look like they decided to take this part out. Hope it doesn't come back to bite them in future construction...

Maybe there waiting on more dirt to be dug up from the lazy river.

Or alternatively, maybe they're waiting for exactly the same thing!  😉

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

Lots of dirt being taken from lazy river to trr site. Looks like Dreamworld say @AlexB‘s post because more progress has been made. 

[Jdude95]

And just like that, everything Gold Rush and TRR is now completely gone and filled.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Just like that? it's been a fair while with red fences.... it's hardly happened overnight...

[Jdude95]

Gold rush was still there, just behind a fence. Now it's just a big old flattened pile of WWW dirt.
