    It would be relatively inexpensive to replace slides 2/3 with a differently shaped flume - maybe a double-down drop which wouldn’t allow riders to pick up as much speed.

    If we're being realistic, that whole end of the park needs a massive Rivertown level upgrade. Gold Coaster is now 30 years old. It's rough and unreliable, and it's approaching the end of its life. That station area could be used for another slide tower. The Thuderbolt plot has been sitting empty for 20 years and is perfect for a WWW expansion - including a lazy river. You could even put a new coaster in that area and have it interact with the water park like GC currently does. Effectively everything from the Wipeout plot through to Kevil Hill needs redevelopment. Something like Barrels Smokehouse being moved to bridge the parks would be good - especially if they were to build a proper (themed) bar on the DW side so there's a place for adults to just chill and have a drink.

    My prediction is they will remove wedgie and I actually think they will remove slides 2 and 3 and rebrand fully 6. I cant see them reopening them tbh. I really don’t want another wedgie just sitting there being an eyesore season after season

    If WWW is to gain popularity - it needs to offer more than a single burger joint at the front gate - with some more variety too.... Having something straddle both parks would make an outlet like that more viable, and reduce the strain on the burger joint at the front.

    My original idea was for a shared food outlet but what made me explore other ideas was that I cannot remember the last time I have seen any food outlet in that area open. As part of WWW relaunch, that area of DW really needs some life injected into it.

    to be clear, I'm not necessarily suggesting someone will get fried from playing an electronic game while wet. My thoughts are more towards the longevity of the machines as control surfaces corrode quicker from exposure to chlorinated water. I think the idea - to utilise existing staff to man the gate between the parks - is a good one. But do you put the gate on the WWW side or the DW side? Staff would have to be present at the gate - so what if a machine has a fault that has to be checked by the arcade staff? are people likely to wait at the gate to be let in happily, angrily, or start jumping the fence if noone is there? Does the gate at whichever end you have it prevent the other park guests from visiting the arcade without buzzing in (which would be a pain not worth it - passing up sales if staff aren't at the gate) I think they'd do well to have a dockside style food outlet there - and food counter staff are more likely to be at their register and able to buzz people through than arcade staff (or you can have the gate in the middle with counter service, register and seating on both sides). Plus it gives WWW another food outlet in peak times - because off peak it's closed anyway. Stick some nice brews on tap and you've got a similar opportunity to the bar WnW had next to the wave pool... and you're more likely to make some extra coin off people at that end of the waterpark through food sales than you are taking a tween's pocket money for some basketball.

    People are paddling up the wrong creek if they believe children will be fried because they are wet, or people will be entering the arcade dripping wet. The arcade is not at the end of a water slide. As long as DW has had an arcade, DW have had rides that soak you and an internal water park. Also, when there was a gate between the park, people could enter DW in their swimmers and enter the arcade. The current arcade is accurately currently, 90% skill testers. Somebody being damp shooting hoops or playing air hocky isn’t an accident waiting to happen. Having a shared arcade accomplishes 2 things. 1. The arcade creates a gateway between the parks which require no extra staff to man because the people staffing the arcade can manage the movement of guest between the parks. 2. Having a shared arcade means if you have you have 1000 guest in WWW you have 1000 chances, somebody wants to pay to shoot hoops that you didn’t have before. And the kicker is, your not paying for extra staff, for WWW to generate more 💰. WWW strongest plus it had over WnW was the ability to travel between the parks with ease. DW has killed this off and I’m spitballing ideas to get the gate open. If somebody has a better way for DW to become accessible to WWW with ease. Speak up. I would love to hear them.

    I’m in agreeable with @DaptoFunlandGuy there’s no need for a water park to have an arcade. Also it’s not like DWs arcade is directly backing onto WWW, there’s Tailspin, Gold Coaster and the former Trolls area in between. @New display name why do you think they need one or should have access to DWs?
  17. DaptoFunlandGuy
    It's a dry park. Splash pad play isn't the core activity for the area so dealing with a handful of parents with toddlers in swimmers and asking them to change is a lot different to having literally every person in the park soaking wet. I've visited plenty of water parks and can't say arcades have featured highly in any of them.
  18. New display name
    + DW has a splash pad in close proximity to the arcade already.
  19. New display name
    Many water parks have Arcades in them @DaptoFunlandGuy
  20. DaptoFunlandGuy
    I'm not sure we want kids in wet swimmers playing with electronic games - but even if that was ok, I don't really want to sit down in a wet seat for a car race either. Arcades do not belong in waterparks.
  21. New display name
    A good reminder how bad the sign was @themagician hopefully, never to be repeated.

    Greg talked about DW had to take it's medicine and now it's WWW turn. It will be interesting what WWW end up turfing out. What I believe should be on WWW to do list. 1. Cave of Waves theming requires a face-lift. 2. Wedgie taken to the tip. 3. Provide a map for guest. 4. Provide a stand alone web page. 5. Re-install DW gate. 6. Arcade shared with DW. 7. New precinct incorporating a lazy river with new slides feeding into the lazy river. (swim up bar for the adults😉)

    I don’t think we’ll see anything for the next season, but I have my hopes for the 26/27 season. What I do hope for next season is they get ride of the Wedgie; it’s been officially closed for a couple seasons now and is becoming an unnecessary eye sore. I think we will see the Triple Vortex and the Fully 6 speed slides return, but that all comes down to how long the legal hearings take. But honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they removed Triple Vortex because it’s got nothing special going for it and takes up space. Having now ridden the Tsunami at Adventure Park Geelong, WWW picked a poor slide model.
  25. DaptoFunlandGuy
    If they go with a lazy river, that increases capacity immensely. They've already got 4 of their slides SBNO for entire seasons, so anything to increase capacity would be great. The best thing is something like a lazy river is going to be quite disruptive to park overall, but as they're seasonally closed, they can build freely without needing to work around guest accessible areas.

    Sounds like WWW is going to end up with less attractions then it currently has. Time will tell.

    @Cactus_Matt You can easily reach roof from the back seat. I have also seen kids swing from the roof of the Model-T. The fire truck isn't high (the kids play equipment across the the road, is higher without safety barriers) instead of DW rushing off to Bunnings and buying the cheapest/ugliest fence they could find, making the Fire Truck safe, could be achieved.

    Let's be honest, the AW bounty was a HUSS yawn... installed a year after Wonderland put in a starship of the same name. But if AW puts in a looping starship to replace the old Huss Pirate, i'm booking flights.
  30. DaptoFunlandGuy
    I mean he looks good for 44ish.

    Just in case anyone missed the entire site plan posted back in October Both entry and exit pathways are ramped up from street level, while the RideExpress lane does have a short set of stairs up to the grouping area.
