I was cautiously optimistic of the ride returning to the opening (of the ride) standard when this was announced, but after Oz and various visible maintenance/upkeep issues around the park I don’t have faith anymore. I’m not even confident it will open this year tbh.

I was done being an Australian theme park enthusiast long ago, but this shit is the final nail in the coffin. I lived on the Gold Coast for 21 years, but I'll never visit again because there's no reason to. Doesn't matter that AirTimeThrills raved about DC Rivals or Steel Taipan. Nothing's going to get me to cough up a dollar to visit these parks.

i can’t lie, seeing none of the theming has been touched in this section is a little concerning to me… i pray that those god awful “projection mapping” parts have been removed, ESPECIALLY that effect just before the elevator lift and the tv screen in the lift…

Ok well I was waiting to have a minute to post but I will chime in here. I finally got to visit Rivertown last week… To say I was impressed would be an understatement. Easily best thing, or certainly most complete thing any park has built in a very long time. The entire area is immersive and detailed and just so on point. The detail in the theming and hidden touches just top it all off. Retheme of Vintage cars - amazing! Jungle Rush Coaster - what a perfect choice for the family demographic, and genius use of a relatively small footprint. Fun and thrills for all ages. As for the comments above, so off the mark. Yes I definitely feel the money must have run out in the turntable chamber, and it’s what turns this possible 10 into a 9. But is 10 year old me gonna notice? No As for the interior queue, it’s almost Disney level, there is nothing that anyone visiting a regional park in Australia should be complaining about in here. …and this is from the most critical old bastard that has never been backward about criticizing Dreamworld. Oh and for bonus points, all the staff were smiling!
