Everyone

Strong words you're putting out so I fixed it for you.

So was Eureka but look what happened when old mate Craig thought it was a still operational.  Idiots instantly forgot how much of a pile of shit it was and got clouded by their old age.  I agree it would be a bad idea to call it Thunderbolt and nothing will change my mind.

Just hold a wet T-shirt contest so we can see boobs already.

To be fair, "everyone" was probably the wrong word, but the amount of people idiots that jumped on that was much higher than I would have thought.

Sidewinder being re-themed to the boobs coaster: confirmed

I thought "Unclocked" was a no brainer.

If "holding on to a sense of the past is so unimportant, perhaps we can see Disney any day binning Mickey Mouse, Thunder Mountain and Cinderella's Castle....what are the chances?

With Bob Chapek, the minute it stops making money, it'll be in the bin.

Iger is still around for another 21 months as chairman, im sure he’ll still have a strong involvement in strategic direction at least thru to end 2021 (which will included plans for many years into the future)

Given it's close proximity to the new Steel Taipan Coaster, what if "Hiss-teria" will be a re-branding of "Buzzsaw"?

Just like the "GoldCoaster",  it seems like a good (and cheap) way to promote an old ride as something new. It would fit the slightly different theme of the Coaster more accurately too, while distancing from the Gold Rush theme once and for all.

Thoughts?

I can’t see them changing BuzzSaw and I don’t see the need to either. If they theme Steel Taipan don’t  (basically make the station to a similar look of BuzzSaws at the minimum) then it will fit into the area well

The gold rush theme is dead. The whole dilapidated look is dead. There is a high chance that Buzzsaw will be changed to reflect this. The only question is when.

In time for the new Coaster to open? Maybe the new area will be promoted as a Country Australia theme -  little effort required and would tie in well to the Corroboree Animal area it extends to.

[T-bone]

Maybe? I don’t know those details. But I stand by everything I said. 
 

To some degree, no one expected Cyclone/ Hot Wheels to get rethemed this year, so there’s still 8.5 months left in the year, anything’s possible.

After SV efforts I thought we were all in agreement that coherent theming was no longer DW's thing.

It took a whole year to build Disneyland into a coherent, themed universe. But that was before the park was open.

It might take Dreamworld a teensy bit longer to refresh the theme back to coherency with it operating and open, but one by one, i think we'll see older stuff replaced with newer until everything has had a refresh. Yesterday, the cinema, today, hollywood house, tomorrow.... the (dream) world!

Woah, Alex said something positive about Dreamworld? Are you okay? Did you get Covid-19?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Settle down. I still said it was going to take them a fucking long time to fix all their fuck ups didn't i?
