Thanks for the update!

What's with the creek water in the Main st Fountain?

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

I assumed that was supposed to be merky Halloween water but it looks like ibis shit in it.

I can confirm that the Shell seating was removing for an event. Because the amphitheater has been demolished, this is where presentation events are now held 

@MickeyD the water is like that because they had had the fountains turned off for a while

Forgot to mention the log ride is also down for maintenance.

Good to see Dreamworld continuing the trend of adding custom signs for each ride during maintenance.

[themagician]

I love little touches and attention to detail like this. Yes it is an A-frame, but at least it isn't a generic maintenance sign. Well done DW

And goes with the theme of a timber mill. 

Hopefully he's attending a seminar on cage removal.

Car park is overflowing today

Dreamworld will be back to profitability in 2020 for sure

Not to sound like a negative Nancy, but isn't a large part of the Carpark housing slide pieces at the moment?

I was at dreamworld today I can confirm that it is pretty dead with most rides having a max one cycle wait with most being walk ons with the exception being SV and that’s probably because of some of the worst operations I have ever seen (and I’ve been to a six flags park) with only 1 cycle every 15 mins. On the the hand WWW was packed especially the wave pool but I think that’s because half the slides were closed which mostly include all the higher capacity ones.

@joz it takes up the four rows in the bottom corner of the car park, so it isn’t that many spaces

Great to see they are going all out with the decorations for the Halloween event

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

I wouldn’t say they’ve gone all out with that.

I mean the fact they went all the way out to decorate the globe into a pumpkin is very impressive. 
 

We also got another 4 days till the event starts so who says they couldn’t have anything else planned? 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I dislike the fact that they've roped off the carriage. I get it - you don't want people climbing all over it, perhaps destroying the hay bales and what not, but there's too many 'themed items' in our parks that are roped off, ruining pictures and such (like the carnivale floats at SW).

[themagician]

They might remove them on the event nights, but have it up for now to make sure they aren’t ruined by day guests 

[Mc coaster]

There is now hay and pumpkins all over the park and more and orange banners throughout the park.

Also the reason the water has looked gross the last few days is because it has been dyed orange you can see that now thats the fountains have been turned back on again.

I’ll look around and and see if I find anything else.

DW didn't get the memo that a pumpkin only lends itself to Halloween if it’s carved.  Otherwise you're just randomly leaving food around the park

Orange dye, in a pool painted blue. no wonder it looks like shit.

Nice idea, poor execution. Colouring the water is a movie world thing, right? #Yong

[Gazza]

I dont mind it, it looks swampy, just needs some fog and partially submerged creatures.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Nek minnit, they drain the pool and realise the dye has stained the walls, and the slide re-painting team are urgently redirected to repaint the fountain, leaving the BRO half painted throughout the summer season.

 

Or hell - they just throw walls up around it like they do with everything else.
