A look at the lighting on some of the slides.

At dreamworld now and checked out the slide pieces there are also a few support columns now onsite.

Do they? I don't recall seeing Dolphins in the Living Seas but for me, granted that was a thousand years ago. They definitely have Manatees. Our SW is part of a global initiative, not to mention has rescued and rehabilitated countless Marine life over the 4 decades. *Sad Story ahead.. Just the other day while taking a stroll by the water I came across a large Sea Turtle carcass, probably 50+ years old, body washed up on the shore with it's guts all hanging out and had Plastic bags all twisted inside. The Turtle's shell had been smashed at the top. From what I could tell, It had died as it entered the Channel feeding on the bloom of Jelly fish (its favourite food) and from clearly what would have been years of eating plastic bags by mistake, it was no longer able to submerge, sadly got struck by a passing boat. This was a pretty confronting reminder of what terrible damage we have done to our Oceans. While places like SW will not be there to save every Animal -not even close- I am at least grateful that we have such an organisation that is genuinely committed to Marine Life care and through education, can really help make a difference.

I agree and understand, but when the event first began they had 4 mazes and there were heaps of characters around the park. Over the years they’ve slowly cut back and finally they have 5, but I wasn’t expect anymore than previous years, but even less is a shame, especially when pricing has gone up over the past few years too

Last night we were able to get all the mazes done with a thirty minute downtime to get food and drinks with no fast track pass to the mazes- We arrived at the park at 3:30pm to start lining up at the turnstiles and were essentially one of the first groups to get IT done • To anyone going to Fright Nights tonight or within next few weeks Best order to get them done are by: IT Zombieland Doll Haus Leatherface (if everything goes to plan, you should be finishing LF around 8ish at this time) then House of Kain We then tried to get Scooby done after Kain but they shut the queue off just as we approached the ride so we got one ride on Batwing and then watched the closing ceremony • As to the comments about the lack of the characters around the precincts and mazes this year I’ve seen on here, I think it was a safe bet when you are adding another maze to your line up, there will be definitely cutbacks to the amount of the characters around the park or in the maze, this all seems to be a shock to everyone on here with this, but was very well expected from the get go when five mazes were announced.

@A.H it was an attraction called Kiddie Creek which was a kids ride for those under 100cm’s I believe and they would go around the creek for one lap in a little boat. This attraction was remove the year Kahuna Falls opened.

Last Night, our group was able to get all 5 mazes done and 2 rides. We first did Scooby as 'It' already had a large crowd and then did Zombieland and Leatherface all before 7 pm. We did Batwing which had a 30-minute wait then after this we decided to queue for It which lasted 45 minutes. After this, we grabbed photos with some of the actors and decided to do Doll Haus and then finished the night with House of Kain. Had a great night and definitely enjoyed the entire night!

God it's like all those council pool updates from Victoria have come to the Gold Coast.

Don’t you hate it when you argue with yourself?

My opinion after having a few years off... Mazes seemed very haphazardly strung together. In HoK we encountered one scare actor the whole time. 60 minute + wait for rides but rides were not on our to do list... at least maZes moved quickly. HC queue closed by 8.15? Saw two stages set up. One playing music briefly, the other had nothing on it the few times we wandered past. Precincts were not themed. Having a grouping of characters roaming around specific areas does not a precinct make. FN is in desperate need of a quality show to soak up the crowds. Before the fanboys scream - I repeat, just my opinion. Won't be back. For those that enjoyed it - im glad for you. But for me the price tag just didnt meet expectations.

Some more images that came from the GCB with the water slides to open in the next few months:

Time to start saving up for passes for both Dreamworld and Village parks. Rivals, Leviathan and a Mack launched coaster. The Gold Coast is going to have a good range of coasters now.
