Assuming that money invested into theming is a valid scale for the quality of theming, then (even including the price for new food, drink, retail, and other buildings) from what I can tell that's around double what the previous best-themed section in AUS (Dreamworks Experience) cost, in a plot of land that's smaller than it is. Which is to say, that's somewhat promising.

It seems a decent amount to spend on a themed area (refuse to use that horrible p word). Anyone know how much it is costing for the other suspended coaster coming to Australia? Should give a rough guide as to how much they spent on the rides vs theming.

https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSBrisbane/videos/1507375373054233/ This news report states that the precinct will cost $40 million. Considering the coasters themselves shouldn’t cost that much because they’re small and simple, it gives an indication of how good the theming and precincts elements could actually be

Geeze you lot love a winge about anything you can find. Who cares what 'spin' marketing use? Clearly it's not for any enthusiast (or any of your friends) because you already know about the ride. It's for people who literally see theme parks as a maybe activity in their 'normal' lives. I totally appreciate this is a theme park enthusiast forum so people here will base their opinions around the own person perspective, which is fine. But time and time again these posts come up along the lines of "they are stupid, NO ONE would want this, bla bla bla" and that's just not the case at all. Part of having an interest in the business side of theme parks is understanding the perspectives that are out there that differ from our own. And that does't just mean the perspective of 'people you know' because just by association they are going to be skewed towards your own opinion. I couldn't give a toss if they advertise "World's first coaster with 28 wheels instead of 26", if it sells a couple tickets, great! I'm concerned with what the final product looks and feels like. But mostly just happy a company is continuing to invest big dollars in theme parks in our own backyard.

For $3 a ride you can face backwards.

Just gonna be 10 of these in the corner, for $2 a ride. Spared no expense,
