That may be true, but you can’t deny the park has improved greatly in recent years. It’s still far from being at its prime, it’s still merely a shadow of its once great former self. But my understanding is the current management for the park understand this, recognise what is iconic about the park and are trying to bring as much of that back as possible. Just look at all the school holiday offerings they had last year; they’ve never done that in the past and it was overall all successful. They’ve produce a great new attraction which has had some of the best marketing we’ve seen from a GC theme park in a long time. There is still plenty more to do, but based off 2021, they are on the right track.

Thats what happens when you take most of the good high up operations supervisors from Village and put them at Dreamworld. Glad that the park has a competent team running the operations department finally. And it's really starting to show with their operations and staff morale as well.

After attending dreamworld 3 times this passed week (finally got some time off work 🤣), I can say it is a good park.. but still far from a great park. ST & SV are the standouts for me. Maybe it’s because they are the newest attractions, but they just offer so much more vs the older rides. Other than rides, I feel like there needs to be better themed music (and louder) in different areas. Ocean parade is just filled with house music & it just feels out of place. There’s nothing like a good score, accompanied by a themed land that makes you feel immersed in the area. E.G. Walking down Main Street at Movieworld with “Hooray for Hollywood” playing. As for Greg, I’ve seen him everyday I was there, he is putting in the effort and hats off to him. Even out the front in the morning greeting guests, helping with QR scanning. There really is only so much one man can do, and if he keeps dreamworld the way it’s heading, I have no doubt it will turn into a great park.

And it was the best thing that could have happened for DW. When Greg moved, followed by other staff/management members of VRTP, DW has changed dramatically and has become a much better park. Still a lot of work to be done, but I think it’s on the right track. Unfortunately VRTP seems to have taken a bit because of that (their ride operations being one of them)

You really can deny this. It's quantifiable and provable,and it's not an old management v new management thing. It's been going down hill for years, and that didn't stop in 2021. ST might be their best ride ever, but the park really sucks right now. Now there's an argument about declines last year being inevitable and nessicary so you can give them a pass but to ignore it entirely and say how much it's improved seems like a combination between wishful thinking and data omission. The park didn't get better when they shortened the train route. The park didn't get better when they closed a bunch of smaller attractions during the year. The park didn't get better when they removed Buzzsaw. The park isn't better because of some temporary entertainment options. Closing White Water World 5 days a week didn't male the place better. I'll pay the whole thing of in order for a forest to grow anew you need a bush fire now and then, and I'll totally give you the idea that basically what's happened at DW recently can be compared to a deliberate purging bush fire - a clear out so the place can grow back (hopefully) better. But you don't look at a freshly blackened landscape and say 'You can't deny this is better'. FWIW, for those who think it's a company thing, I think SW declined, WnW got better (but still off it's peak) and MW stayed pretty much flat, and despite critism for presentation, Luna Park Sydney improved massively.

It wouldn't surprise me if you haven't been to DW to see for yourself.

Staff at Dreamworld are currently treated worse than ever.

not that surprising Doomsday is the first Unexpected Maintenance closure of the year
