At least it looks like the exhibition space will be used for something other then shows and glorified bouncy castles.

i’ve heard it’s going to be located in the old Kevil Hill Walkthrough instead of the exhibition space.

Preparations for the event are underway

It’s great to see dreamworld putting on back to back events (Spring County Fair -> Happy Halloween) & putting a solid amount of effort into both. 
 

Looking forward to attend next weekend 🎃

No photo more perfectly sums up the hodge podge theming synonymous with DW.

 

we have ghosts, pumpkins and SUNFLOWERS….

[themagician]

There were still a few sunflowers throughout the park that they hadn’t taken down yet. But you’d think they’d take them down while putting the others up

That’s called a lack of attention to detail…

Clearly the ghost guy is faster than the sunflower guy. 

You can't have ghost union members taking down sunflowers or the sunflower union members will strike, and then they'll lose the Christmas Snowflakes AND the Valentine's hearts and then where would we be?

Probably protesting through the streets of Melbourne

The 29th was added recently, they have also added the following to the event page. An overlay on Vintage Cars sounds like a great idea.

[themagician]

The websites park map has been updated and they really are using the whole park this year. Interestingly, they are using the old scare maze/laser tag for Kenny Mystery Mansion 

[Smol bean]

Well they already have the Kevil building as a purposed bulit maze so why make a new maze in the exhibition center so it does make sense why they have it in the Kevil buliding. 

[Rivals]

i’ve heard that in the Kevil Hill building they’re only using some of the rooms as they want to keep the zombies and have those rooms blocked off, hopefully this means they are planning to bring back the Kevil Hill maze.

Nothing happy about the lines to enter the carpark and the park. 
 

40mins from the Coomera exit to get to the park, and the line to get in starts from dreamworld, goes down to the far edge of WWW at the far side of the carpark, then turns back and the whole way back to dreamworld. 

definitely oversold capacity. 

 

At current queue movement I think we may make it in by around 7:30 

And they have the hide to send staff down the queue line asking if people want to pay $89 for a “pumpkin pass” which will let them go straight to the front of the entry queue 

[Gazza]

When I went past around 7 p.m. there were cars parked out on the service road.

[Thrill Seeker]

Absolute shit. Had tickets and have gone home. No car parks left and thousands lined up to get in. Going to demand a refund.

[themagician]

Bloody hell, that sounds like a massive mess. If people are still waiting they’ll get less than two hours for the event.

Is the car park issue because they don’t have traffic control to stop people constantly crossing? And have they not got enough staff on to scan tickets?

[Brad2912]

We just got in. There is literally not a single car park left and lines still down the road to get in. 

[Thrill Seeker]

It looked like they were either letting people in through www or the side vehicle gate?

No that was the line. No entry via WWW

Someone has royally fucked up logistical here. 
 

this crowd makes fright nights at MW look like an off peak day at dreamworld 

[themagician]

That’s insane, I can’t remember a time when DW was so busy. We’re they thinking because the opened more of the park for the event they could sell even more tickets.

Reading through peoples comments on Facebook, a lot of people are unhappy. They definitely should’ve only sold enough tickets for the amount of car spaces there were (allowing for 2-3 people per car)

Whats also surprising is there all still tickets available on the website. The next couple nights have sold out, so they better sort out the issues otherwise it’s going to become an unsuccessful event

Are you able to post up any photos of the crowds? The 3rd year in they should be able to execute an event like this without trouble.

[Proshall Mutta]

It's really buzzing tonight. I think they're doing quite well given how busy it is. Very nice, and honestly looking at Facebook in regards to complaints is like looking at a dump for trash. Gold coaster looks especially nice.

[themagician]

From what I’ve heard from others, a part from the entry and parking issues, the event is really good
