All these things actually happened, "in a world of pure imagination"!

Stop encouraging him.  If I see the "pure imagination" line one more time, I'm going to give myself an uppercut.

14. I-Ride name "Flyover Australia"

15. I-Ride Name "SkyRyder".   ( @Richardstill has high hopes the name will return.  </sarcasm>) 😀

As far as I can gather, he's the only one in that world.... it was just curiosity..

Some people seem to have incredibly short memories!

We know @pushbutton It's also 2 years old.  Move on.

Would you like to try bringing up some of their other defunct advertising slogans? these are all just as relevant as your Sky Voyager Boxing Day countdown...

 

[rappa]

If I was a sponsor of an attraction, I wouldn’t want my name on it until it actually opens. 

 

Who wants to be publicly associated with disappointment and pay for the privilege  at that!

How good would it be to go to DW and go for a ride on the Wipeout before jumping on the train for a lap around then popping into Parkway for lunch. 

Can only dream of a world like that.

[joz]

If you miss parkway just go to any modern truvkstop instead. Never one for closing locations but if I'd have come in as CEO I'd have closed it too, fundamentally flawed mess.

[RobMac]

Not sure what a "thrill ride" really is these days, seems DW's bought a few of them over the years with modest long-term success for the Park itself.  "Sideshow" type rides belong in a sideshow themed setting. John Longhurst understood this, with the beautiful and easily achieved "Country Fair" setting, here the park could buy relatively affordable rides and use them to provide a fun area, which rested on the "foundation" of the Thunderbolt rolleroaster.

DW your key word going forward should be making DW Beautiful again....thrills are great...Beauty is greatER!

ToT is a thrill, nothing wrong with it. But, the noise it makes has dominated the park for years. The old train station, the gardens, the vintage cars drove through, the way it blended into Rivertown, with the paddle-wheeler - beautiful and for some weird reason, no-one can really explain, all butchered for mostly 3rd rate attractions. How in God's good name, was the "bike rollercoaster" thing monstrosity ever put there, where the vintage cars made perfect sense?

Let's face it, we do know why, merchant bankers/accountants running a themepark!

It'll take some years DW, but you need to understand, you can have it all, thrills and more thrills, but you have to treat the park layout with respect.

Might be an unpopular opinion? but I love ToT smashing through and making a stupidly loud sound. Yeah the thrills are moderate, but GD doesn't make the sound required for such a landmark. ToT in my opinion needs to be saved and kept. The Queue entrance for ToT should also have an amazing rollercoaster across from it, both with digital queue time signs to even out the lines since ToT has a pretty bad throughput.

 

side note im kinda drunk so if this makes no sense, sorry.

[Whombex]

So by now, DW have made their decision on these attractions. Will they hold off on announcements until after SV opens? Before, as a distraction? Like MW, only after they're 75%built? 

🤷‍♂️

I’d say the announcement will come around the time of their 18/19 full year Financial Results presentation which going off last year will be around mid-late August.
