Almost seems direct competiton to Dreamworlds Bluey

Don't SW normally have Nickelodeon character apperances? Eg Paw Patrol more recently.

Yes but this is specifically a limited time appearance and they are not currently occuring chracters. 

Yeah but they would need to have sourced suits very quickly if this was a "response" to Dreamworld.

I think it would have already been planned.

I never said it was a response, just direct competition as if both parks were expecting this to happen.

Shimmer and Shine were spotted at Sea World about a month ago, so I doubt its in response to Bluey - but the marketing push may have something to do with the bluey announcement.

Yes, you are right, both parks would have expected low cost kids promotional activities in the school holidays.
