Recent Dreamworld marketing / social media
themagician replied to GoGoBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Which I think is a good thing because they’re trying to target a family audience and being less corporate and relatable is what (I think) a lot of families like to see. However I think these recent posts in the lead up to their ‘Buy 3, Get 1 Free’ campaign has gone a bit too far the other way and is heading towards being unprofessional. And looking at how the posts have done, which isn’t very well, I’d imagine that impacts the exposure of the fact that this campaign is happening. And at the end of the day, they’re trying to get annual pass sales up to get more people in the get, and experimenting with their marketing style might have not been the best move. Take their ‘40 Day Giveaway’ campaign as an example. Nearly every day they were posting about it and they were involving their team members and that whole campaign did very well and was well received online and I don’t think any of the content was cringy. Which lead to the giveaway day bringing in some of the biggest crowds the park has seen in a while (partly because you had to be there to win the major prize, however almost everyone was there because it well marketed and people knew about it and wanted to win). I do hope that marketing take some notes from what Village have been doing with Flash for Rivertown. They’ve so far done a good job with teasing what’s to come and revealing some amazing concept artwork, but when it comes to track install, testing, etc it would be good to see that. But also, because a lot of Jungle Rush will be in doors, don’t give too much away because I’m sure it will be an amazing surprise (like we had for Leviathan). -

You can’t take phones onto ride, so there aren’t any photos from that view. I believe @Ogre has shared some either on here or in his videos on YouTube -
I pick option four, custom layout and great theming. But it really comes down to a lot of different factors. Moto coaster is a custom layout, but it isn’t an enjoyable ride and if it had good theming, I’d still say ‘that coasters theming is great, but the ride itself isn’t enjoyable and therefore I’m not going to ride it for the theming’. If Steel Taipan and DC Rivals had an indoor queue and preshow before the launch/lift hill then that would definitely make those coasters even better. Which is exactly what Superman Escape did and that’s part of what makes that attraction so great. But in the case of DC Rivals, I’d rather have it how it is because it’s a great layout, than them remove a quarter/half of the layout and use that budget to add some theming/pre show to the ride. For Jungle Rush, hypothetically if this layout doesn’t turn out to be good, but it’s comfortable to ride and the theming is amazing, then yes I probably would be inclined to ride it more because of its immersion and story. And if the layout is enjoyable (which it think it will be), then that’s a bonus. TNT at Gumbuya World is a standard layout and the theming has been done pretty well, but if you took it away the coaster experience is still the same, it just makes the queue boring and lacking. So like @DaptoFunlandGuy I too can’t decide on an answer because there are so many variables to consider when trying to decide.

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Doomsday’s ‘closed from’ date has now been removed. Marvin’s maintenance has been extended by a month. The Green Lemon is having issues again. And Studio Showcase is closed again (it was closed last Saturday as well and heard it’s due to lack of staff). -

@Brad2912 it’s for autism awareness month, so it doesn’t isn’t yuck. If they used this day to day, then maybe, but for raising awareness ‘yuck’ shouldn’t be the word used. But this shows the capability of the lighting package for the ride and I think they could do some really cool stuff if they just mixed red and yellow for this. And good on the park for investing in a lighting package for the ride, something they’ve only ever done for Rivals at the park -

Movie World have shown off the attraction signs lighting package at night. Kudos to the park because this is the best attraction sign they’ve done in a long time RPReplay_Final1713393894.mov -

I think so! I’d say they were definitely pushing for the QLD holidays, but NSW is still on holidays for a couple weeks. My guess is they’ll be officially opening it Friday April 26. -

My guess is the photo has been over saturated. I’ve seen photos of the statues on fan pages and they definitely are bright, but not this bright -
Disneyland Paris has announced that in 2025, coinciding with when World of Frozen opens, the park will be renamed from ‘Walt Disney Studios Park’ to ‘Disney Adventure World’. They will also be transforming to the entrance of the park from a movie studio to all-new design paying homage to historic movie theaters. They will also have entertainment on the new lake they have been building, which will be called Adventure Bay. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2024/04/disney-adventure-world-disneyland-paris-reimagines-second-park/
