Wow! I can't wait for this to be the only ride within a ride in the southern hemisphere operating at MW.

Things really aren’t looking good at MW right now. Apart from all the previously mentioned issues (such as constant ride closures, poor operations, temporary fences at every turn, lack of music and atmosphere in most areas, a large amount of dead/disused spaces, rude/disinterested staff and terrible communication with guests), general presentation and upkeep around the park is severely lacking. There’s so much exposed wiring and conduit all over the place (some in very noticeable locations like the Scooby Doo facade and Wild West Falls), lots of broken equipment, numerous severely faded and worn out signs and gardens full of weeds. The whole place just feels very neglected at the moment. Here are a few “highlights”. I could go on, as issues like these are literally at every corner of the park and are so consistent that you can’t help but notice. It’s so disappointing considering how well kept the place used to be.

I hate poster theming if you can call it theming.

Jeez even Dreamworld at its lowest wasn't this bad. Have they thrown everything into Wizard and forgotten the rest of the park?

That’s actually disgusting to see the park has come to that. Sort your shit out Village.

That document is one of the more shocking and eye opening pieces you will ever read. Not so much for the gruesome details, thats a given, but the general complacency and neglect of the park through their maintenance team, lack of training and poor procedural expectations/knowledge. Dreamworld deserved every dollar and bit of backlash they copped, its just absolutely devastating it took 4 lives to bring their malpractice into the limelight.

This one is a perfect example

It was, you just must go back and read some trip reports to refresh your memory. Most of us thought, DW looked like a dump, but we didn’t believe the rides were being dangerously neglected. We were wrong and people died. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat.

To jump on @Gazza

That's funny. I worked there in the early 2000's, and I cannot think of a time where 'every dry adult ride in the park' was closed - unless it was during an electrical storm... Wonderland's management toward the end was pretty poor - but they never got this low.
