All Dreamworks references within the Kung Fu Panda area have now been removed. Pandamonium is set to close on Monday 30th and will reopen late March. I’m speculating that maybe most of this area will be closed off soon so the Ocean Parade transformation can begin. There are heaps of coloured dots on the ground throughout the area too

The smart thing to do is wait till all the wizard of oz section is done, then close it then

The tower is looking fantastic Windows have been installed The front of the building is looking much better. Can’t wait for the signage/banners/theming to be added

That’s interesting to learn, I do remember much more haze a decade ago, music was much louder too. Hopefully the redo sees MXPX blasting in our ears once more.

Just let teens in every 3rd vehicle with thier stupid vapes. Would add haze.

No, so I'm not going to say DW isn't doing well. I'm just saying if someone's report IS that a park is quiet and has no lines, that's not really a good thing for the park. Where as "the place sucks because it's so popular" doesn't make for a fun day but is indicative of a healthy bottom line.

If this topic is indeed about the 'validity of google reviews', a good place to start would be to discuss what is actually being said/complained about in those reviews. Reading Movieworld's Google reviews (from the last week or so) one of the top three complaints that keep showing up is: wait times are too long per ride. There doesn't seem to be people complaining about the qty of attractions they did in their day. And then the question is, are the comments being made about the wait times in those reviews valid? e.g. are the wait times per ride indeed too long?

A box of crayons might help.🤪

You just wrote a bad review because you can't swim. Me, myself and I surf the sharks.

It’s not bad it’s just for a 36M coaster that name doesn’t have the best ring. It sounds more like a tree top challenge style ride. But i don’t really care at least DW is getting another coaster! The name doesn’t matter that much. That is one of the pluses

The Dreamworks Experience sign at the front has been removed They haven’t wasted any time with their works on Mad Jungle Jam Shrek is gone All the other statues remained, but can’t imagine it will be much longer as almost every other reference has been removed. Except for attraction info signage, the carousel (which closes in a couple days) and Dronkeys

No further progress as of yet

Well there is also the issue that you can bet your life that the first person they tell they have to work faster will be straight over to HR claiming they are being 'bullied' by the manager.

I think you’re being a bit harsh with that to be honest. Let’s look at this from the (admittedly rather narrow) perspective of a coaster enthusiast visiting from Europe. This person has been to a few hundred parks, and has been looking forward to the ones in Australia for years. They arrive at a park and discover long wait times. Stuff happens, so it goes. Then they make it to a ride station and discover that the Intamin that would dispatch every minute or so in the rest of the world is going out at around 20% of that speed due to additional checks and faffing about. They’re only going to get on a tiny fraction of the rides that they’d hoped for - because, as someone else said in this thread, Australia knows better. Yes, they will be angry. And objectively I can understand that. Safety is important, but it’s completely possible to be both safe and efficient.

Theme park enthusiast after rope drop.

The loss of LTRR for Jnr Driving School is the biggest stain on our parks imo. Yes I know it would have been costly to refresh and update the animatronics, but it was quintessential MW and that ride truly would have had its place FOREVER if they kept it well maintained.
