I Ride Update

Don’t usually comment on this, but -Red section is a hillside (practically on large rock wall) , also a main back road used very frequently -Both blue spot is the emergency evacuation doors for the Stunt Show/Junior School + Staff green room access -Purple is a very popular seating area and just received a makeover -Green is an emergency vehicle access road into the area -Yellow is the only real suitable location also note it maybe an unused area, just remember there is important infrastructure running under the ground (drains, wastage, power)

The now Rivals access-way was originally used as an entry to the Studios and became unused when the gates were shifted further south. By comparison, there wouldn't be a single day that the back of house roadway you're referring to doesn't get used. Thus, what you're suggesting is essentially building a theme park through an active road. Yeah, nah, i'm good thanks. Something something air-con something something Driving School sucks something something put tech services & floats somewhere else, you get the idea.

The exit/shop shelter has been added and a nice touch with the paint work. The entry is now complete

Ride should be open within the next few days according to the Dreamworld website, unless it is most likely delayed again.

I was really hoping for The Nun Precinct or The Nun maze tbh

Here is a photo from Back in August and it was still Santa’s Grotto And when I was there 3 weeks ago it wasn’t there then either

I'm surprised the Gold Rush sign is still standing. It looks weird now the building to the right is gone.

Getting back on topic, Movie World also has this plot of empty land which could good expansion space for Kids WB.

All looking great - definitely keen to see the two new mazes this year and some of the "precincts". Sidenote - the Possessed Precinct (where the fountain is) - if you're going to have a huge chunk of people crowd around a space to listen to music, wouldn't you want it under the roof you paid a mozza for?

The concrete work is almost finished the entry to Leatherface is up The fence covering is up and the fountain is being prepared for the scare precinct

That's a nice river in the background. Does it come in any other colour?

Studio Commissary and MW employee dining room (at least it was when I worked there). There is /was a pretty big kitchen in there where a.lot of food prep used to be done for the Park, Studios and Functions.

.. why can't they even have the actual Steam Train operating for this? Oh never mind, I forgot. . Dreamworld.

Here's something that might be of interest: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/north-shore-luna-park-fairground-rides-20180906-p5027d.html

Having been to Manchester mate, I can surely attest to it being a densely populated and modern city. Not sure what being from Manchester signifies but I imagine it would be quite a different experience to having a childhood or growing up in Australia. Buts its a very nice city , I enjoyed its feel and atmosphere a lot.

The company who did the Waterworks actually built three of them: Manly, Mount Druitt and Cairns. All three had the similar 4 enclosed slides and were built in 1980/81. Cairns in the 80’s didn’t have much for us kids to do and going to the Waterworks was the greatest. The best thing about these types of slides is that the water could be blocked at the top by a few people and their mats sitting side by side, creating a dam. Then when the water was high enough everyone would launch into the slide. You and ten mates and a torrent of water with arms and legs going everywhere. You could get pretty beat up, especially when you hit the ‘big’ corner on the fastest slide. The Cairns Waterworks closed in about 1988 to make way for an office tower but the slides themselves were relocated to Sugarworld, a small park in the Cairns suburbs next to a sugar mill. They lasted until 2010 when they were removed due to rusting steel supports. The fibreglass slides were offered for sale for $22 000. Unfortunately the slides at Sugarworld were replaced by modern but low capacity open air flumes and a four person racer. That was the great thing about the old slides, high capacity and a crap load of fun, not to mention barely enforced safety rules. The good old days I guess.

@Brad2912 why don't Lego people like going to the hospital? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Because plastic surgery is expensive.

Tbh... I thought it was pretty well done. Some of the models were small, some were massive both even on the small ones, the level of detail was amazing. Will be super popular over the holidays with kids and families which is no doubt who it’s targeted to GCAF’s video missed a heap of detail, like only showing the front of the ship, when the back had hundreds of themed compartments with scenes within them..

Interesting that they’ve engaged a supplier who has gone and violated their contractor induction policy right from the get go... Hardly feel that’s a back of house photo approved by VRTP marketing dept

I dunno... they have hired bakers to do it...

Yeah. Nah. Not happening for a long time. It brings in too much business to fill 1 fanboys need for more HUSS contraptions.
