Dreamworld April Update

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

Sky Voyager Ride Express line now up - also PSA engineering are working on it.

 

Locker Hire got a repaint and the tiles in the toilets were cleaned.

Cosentino stand in the Dreamworld Emporium.

Gates installed at the entrance of the park.

The train is being worked on to the left of Buzzsaw.

Crowds were good at Dreamworld today with even the rides being occupied. Sometimes people aren’t riding but are just there for Cosentino, but that wasn’t the case. The ride lines were good. Everything was running and I think they’ve really mastered peak and off peak periods. When the park is dead, a lot of things around Dreamworld are turned off. Today with good crowds, most rides were running, all the fountains were working and I couldn’t identify any cost cutting measurements. Only complaint is Buzzsaw is still unreliable and was shut for the day (while I was at the park). Other than that minor inconvenience and of course the train which comes out of maintenance next month, the park is running well.

Forget everything else! These are the real issues! The number of fountains closed is too damn high! *bangs fist*

(i'm not having a go at you GCAF - just had a little giggle that it was something you noticed!)

The corroboree fountain, Madagascar fountain and tiger island fountain are usually off during off peak seasons making the park boring and less lively.

After paying for Ride Express you could still have up to 240 people in front of you inside.

 Those queues are still well under what they should be.

 

Thanks for the photos.

Forgot to mention there is seating outside of sv and near the front fountains now.

What about the Kung Fu Panda fountain?

What about the Rocky Hollow Log Ride fountain?

That’s working after the flooding.

You know it's bad when we're praising them for just keeping their toilets clean

[themagician]

But that is exciting, have you ever used VRTP toilets?

I meant the tiles in the toilets had been scrubbed and it appeared like there might have been a repaint or just extensive cleaning.

Unless I’m mistaken, I believe several of MW’s hand driers are some of the last opening day attractions left.

So with the mention of work happening on the train next to buzzsaw, you show a photo of the train shed, but I see no train, just a train carriage. Was there anything else you could see?

I don’t really know much about trains so I guess I meant the carriage but I assume the rest of the train went inside of the shed so that was blocked from view.

No, it is actually a sneak peak at Dreamworld's latest rollercoaster!

You ride the carriages down the gradient out of control. Then everyone gets out and pushes it back up to the top for the next riders. 😁

You are mistaken.  MW opened with paper hand towels. 😯

And two more on the right. How wonderful someone is finally thinking about polos. Unfortunately, its at the park I don't hold a pass to, and they didn't have polos the whole time i did... so screw them.

That stock looks generic and super boring.   (except for the polos of course).  Merchandise sucks hard in Australian parks.  No imagination.

Cue a corny joke by someone on the forum about how its dreamworld and you're supposed to use your imagination about good merchandise... followed by a boxing day countdown.

At least it’s not overly complicated like some other designs at Dreamworld.

What's not overly complicated?
