Movie World Maintenance Schedule 2025
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to TV15's topic in Theme Park Discussion
So just to recap - the website shows the following: FOWW - Annual maintenance Flash - Unplanned maintenance WWF - Unplanned Maintenance SE - Unplanned Maintenance SDSC - Refurbishment JL3D - Annual Maintenance Batwing - Unplanned maintenance Stunt Show - Refurbishment If we add Green Lantern to the mix, here's how it would look: Red: Confirmed closed Purple: Reported closed Yellow: Previously guest-accessible areas that have been removed or are not presently open to the public Green: Open to guests (almost entirely kids, food, retail and walkways only) Items left uncoloured are back of house spaces and\or my bad snipping tool skills painting with a mouse. -

Dreamworld Updated Park Map - 2023
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This is a far better map style than those weird 'realistic 3d maps'... -
The dichotomy of these two comments is only exacerbated by the fact that they were one after the other in your reply As the old saying goes 'if you build it, they will come' You're right about this for sure. I think they've pitched "theme park" as a way to get locals on board given SEQ's reputation for parks. The issue on the sunshine coast is that everything is so far away from each other. Australia Zoo, Aussie World, the Aquarium, the Ginger Factory - they're all decently isolated from each other and that makes trekking around the sunshine coast to visit them all an arduous task. And only one of those is located right on the highway to make it convenient. The GC's major parks are either co-located, placed right on the highway, or located adjacent to a large population centre that hosts many accommodation options within a few minutes of the facilities. All of the things the sunshine coast does not have. I know this proposal is within Moreton Bay Regional - but it is essentially the gateway to the sunshine coast and would add value to that region. I daresay they're not experts in park building but if they get approval, they'd be wise to engage someone with experience who will no doubt steer us away from 1980s Vekoma.

That's some of the best news. The guy is an absolute talent. -

The park changed ownership a little while ago, right? -
That'd be a first. Unfortunately human nature is to take the most efficient route which means most people heading for the ride entrance won't actually see it as they are practically underneath the sign the whole time It's undeniably a choice, I believe it to be the wrong one. I think you meant "diminishes" - and I disagree. It is collectively a themed 'land' however you can just as easily exit riders out of the attraction to the rear so that they experience the Villains area after riding. At any rate, this discussion was entirely about a billboard facing the wrong way in an AI generated theme park that is never going to be built, and the only reason Doomsday is topical is because it had a similar bridge facing what, in many people's opinion, is the wrong way. Are you arguing that the AI slop billboard of random inspirational words is facing the correct way? Because that's the point being made.

See... I wanted to try and find a picture of a billboard that was directly behind a tall building so nobody except the people in the building could see it, but nobody is that stupid to build a billboard behind a building. The best viewing angle for the doomsday bridge is the one seen in the Parkz photo above, which is not generally at the height most guests will ever get to see. Because people are navigating around a corner to enter the queue, they're typically looking down, and those not navigating to the ride queue are facing away from the sign because they're looking at the interactive features in and around the precinct. Yes, the ride name sign \ bridge should be over the entrance to the ride queue. But the ride queue should not be accessed from the back. Like I already said... it's facing the wrong way. And billboards shouldn't face into a building - it defeats their purpose. Plus, this isn't a bridge. this is just random AI slop YOႱИƎ ƎVAH ИUꟻ

Dreamworld - Something big is coming
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
TBH i'm surprised they didn't utilise the Dreamworld Theatre. the video wall would easily changeover to BB styling for broadcast. (Maybe that's their wet weather plan for the future)- 140 replies

Can you feed it to us on a spoon, because other than playing Rugby for the bedford blues and a Zambrero empire spanning two countries - what else is there to find? (Just to be clear here - I'm not rubbishing the Z - just asking for more info.)

DaptoFunlandGuy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It's hard to tell what you're indicating - but taking our lead from most of your posts shitting on the park, it was a fair assumption that your post was intended to ridicule. The emoji didn't alter that.- 140 replies

While Australia has typically had a 'traditional' house with ceilings and the like, there are plenty of versions internationally shot on sound stages that have nothing but trussing and rigging overhead.- 140 replies
