DW really needs a new "log ride" type water based attraction. [Seaworld too for that matter].

And I think that, in of itself, is part of the problem. Whether that reputation is "Dreamworld not safe" or "Dreamworld has no water rides" they kind of just need to bite the proverbial bullet and do a new water based ride and be damned to all the ~bad press~ that'll come from people saying "too soon". I've lived in Melbourne for 12 years now but for the 22 years I did live on the Gold Coast I visited Dreamworld dozens of times a year (when I was old enough, obviously), and I can't imagine the place as being enjoyable to people like me (who don't do water parks) on the kind of hot Summer days that make up such a big part of life on the Gold Coast. I can't speak for everyone (because there are people who do like visiting the adjacent water parks) but a theme park not having a water ride is pretty much a deal breaker for me - especially in the Queensland climate.

You might be looking at it the wrong way. The family that was looking for a Disney holiday might have to settle for a Dreamworld holiday.

Govt have DW $2.7m to go towards the koala research centre they were planning. Covid happened and the plan got scuttled. DW asked Qld Govt if they could instead use the funds for ST. Govt said no problem. Media found out today. Cue “think of the koalas”

Take the fight to MW like they did in the day. Announce the (not a) response to WoO (as New Atlantis isn't is the time frame, having likely fully opened over the next year). I don't know what DW have in the pipeline, but after Steel Taipan, it should be family / mild thrill. Still keen on them doing a good sized track or trackless dark ride. After this, another big thrill.

@Cactus_MattDW is at a crossroad because what they are doing isn't really working.

🎶Don't say one day.

🎶 A Dreamworld one day holiday?

Main Event sale has been completed and Weiss has released a statement.

Why do people keep thinking Roadrunner will be made redundant by the new rides? All 3 new coasters will be WAY more intimidating than Roadrunner for young/scared visitors. Plus having something to do whilst younger siblings ride the kiddie rides will always be a thing. One does not replace the other.
