I mean the date in the title is 2021. Seems pretty unconfirmed to me. You know it's bad when people don't even bother leaving a fountain.

Thats assuming Doomsday actually opens long enough to close for maintenance

That’s great to see they have finally fixed the maintenance situation for storm. That was needed since the ride opened 9 years ago, but at least they’ve finally done it.

What great news for Doomsday and Batwing to all of a sudden find themselves being called Big rides! Poster above gets it, think they're pretty bang on for this year.

i would love to see them redo that entire area, put in the new worlds tallest drop ride, as well as a new roller coaster (RMC single rail or mack power splash) in the old RHLR area and a pathway connecting Steel Taipan to this new area, then allow the theme / aesthetic from the steel taipan area to flow down into this two new attractions and created some sort of themed / styled area. imo that would be a really cool and welcomed addition to the park

When they do retire this Giant drop, because it’s such an icon for the park, I’d love them to construct a she new Giant drop. New and taller tower, with potentially Falcons fury technology. Maybe one side is normal, the other side is normal. Or it’s seats the entire way round. They could even try get the worlds tallest drop ride record again. The new tallest drop ride is about to open in Orlando and will be about 131 metres tall. The current Giant Drop only needs to be 20 metres taller to easily break the record. That can also allow for the removal of the mess that currently is around the GD.

I checked it out this morning and it’s my favourite exhibit they’ve done yet. It could be because I’ve always loved (most) of the Batman movies and to see these props, costumes and vehicles up close was great. The setup was really good and they were pacing the groups out so it didn’t feel crowded.

I can get a bit of what both sides are saying. OK yeah DW didn't really have its mickey mouse. But certainly, some stuff like the paddlesteamer should never have been removed. You can definitley switch out and modernise some attractions, but you probably should keep a few classics around (Even if they are stupid) because a bit of intergenerational nostalgia is an important part of any theme parks brand, remember a lot of what theme parks are selling is warm fuzzy feelings and memories. Like at Disney, Autopia and Jungle Cruise are the biggest attractions in the park and are kinda lame compared to indy or space mountain, but they would be stupid if they got rid of either

Hi Guys, Please understand that I'm new here and have 0 reputation as of yet, but my best mate works at Dreamworld and has been told that the Giant Drop will be retiring in February, Ardent/Dreamworld are apparently making an announcement in 1-2 weeks and will offer final rides similar to Buzz Saw, though I am pretty shocked as the tower is really iconic to the park and is definitely another nail in the current ride count especially in thrills that build your heart rate up. Yes the ride is getting on in years but a refurb similar to Falcons Fury would've been better in my opinion and also the proposed train track is now really close to that area so that could also explain it. I understand people will think this is my friend telling bullshit but he has always been honest/trustworthy to me in regards to what is happening in the park, I have only come across this forum recently so I thought I would give everyone the heads up. Cheers, Cameron
