On my last visit to Dreamworld I was lucky enough to have a conversation with the CEO, Greg. He seems like a very lovely and open guy. In regards to the Giant Drop, a tilting gondola had been discussed very heavily and wouldn't be too expensive to implement into the current tower. Their main reason for not going ahead with it is purely due to it being too extreme. As others have mentioned, the ride is already quite ominous and it's the minority who enjoy it, adding a tilting gondola would only further scare guests away from riding that gimick.

You’re missing the point mate.

@joz has given a very accurate explanation to answer this - but one final thought: Locals are more likely to visit more often, but they're also less likely to spend in park on every visit. If they feel like they got a cheaper deal to enter, they won't hesitate as much about spending in-park. They've already saved money, so a little in-park spend is ok... every. single. visit. If they just refill their unlimited refill sipper on every visit (about $9) they're making $8 additional profit. Kids want to try that new donut milkshake? cha-ching. There's a new hat-graffiti-cape-embroidery-latest-gimmick store open on main street? try it out. no, the postcode restrictions are necessary, for the reasons already mentioned above by Joz - tourists will pay more, locals will be more likely to visit if they have cheaper passes. Most locals won't go near the parks in peak periods anyway, so blackout dates won't change much. (Back when all passes were $99, blackout dates would have worked for a tiered system, and they tried it, and then quickly backed down on it - rewarding the cheaper pass-buyers by allowing them to enter christmas week, while stiffing those who paid the extra for VIP Gold, making the extra money paid essentially worthless.) People have different opinions Tone doesn't come across well in written text Absent the tone that might imply humor or sarcasm, many people misinterpret intention and react to that misinterpretation. Also - some people are stupid, and because you can't smack some sense into them, they keep coming back with ridiculous unrealistic proposals, and won't accept being told it won't work by logic, reason, or experts in the field. (But that doesn't relate to this current thread).

What’s that’s mean then?

These posts where you don't add any commentary are really starting to grind. What are you trying to say by posting this video and nothing else? If it's the height argument - According to this article the top third of the track is painted red. This video shows it only just enters the red section, so it barely makes it 2/3 up the top of the tower. If its the argument about it being consistently shut - S-EFK was closed for the entirety of my recent visit to the US - in the middle of spring break. If you're arguing that this version continues to operate, it's already been said it's because Dreamworld sold them their spare parts - something that wouldn't be possible if this "perfectly good ride" as you claim - continued to operate.
