  1. Look @pushbutton all the shit you have been hanging on DW wanting to add shade sails and Village prove it's onto a winner with it's full year results. "Wet’n’Wild maintained its popularity as a successful summer branding campaign drove solid attendance through December and new shade over Wet’n’Wild Junior also improved the guest experience in this area".

  3. That's not going to be built and I wouldn't visit Saudi for the opportunity either. If it is built, it will be much smaller and less ambitious than what is shown here. See Flying Aces as an example. The render is awful, it looks like the coasters I used to build on RCT3 when i didnt know what i was doing.

  5. which WWW had drawn criticism for being previously.) 100% it will soak up the crowds, plus hose occasional single riders. This is a welcomes addition. Swimplex has been going good. From local aquatic centres to caravan parks and now its first big theme park. Might be the start of a new relationship. Given Swimplex are also the Australian distributors for Murtha pools, who make wave pools and lazy rivers.

  6. A powersplash wouldn't work at Sea World as they already have Storm which is basically the same thing but its full circuit. On the other side of the story, a big, tall shuttle water coaster that gets you soaked sounds like a good replacement for Surfrider. On the topic of the Raptor, I think the smaller base Raptor model that's at California's Great America would be a good replacement for HWSW.

  7. RMC Raptor leaked for Six Flags Great Adventure. Six Flags gets announced today, but Over Texas is getting a Mack Powersplash as track is already on site. I'd like to see WnW get a Powersplash in the future.

  9. Just on that the bloke from MACK needs to stop saying 'Free spinning'. We're also assuming that this ride gets them back to an attendance level where queues and capacity are a problem. I don't think it will. I think attendance will be noticeably up, but it alone won't get them to preaccident levels. Between that and the fact the spinning car has 4 seats, it should end up being a lot cheaper than backwards Rivals.

  11. When I visited last time I was surprised at how slow the Train ride is nowadays. It is certainly much slower than ever before. Regarding selling of land etc, I think the old Thunderbolt site would be an ideal spot for proposed Hotel/convention Centre. I hope they keep DW within the existing envelope of the train, keeping all that Amphitheatre/Blue Lagoon space for future Theme Park development.

  12. I wanted to take the time to compile all my thoughts from my first few rides on Sky Voyager on Saturday. For those who don't know, I have riden Soarin at DCA and Epcot and they are both fantastic rides. (I haven't riden any other Flying Theatre Attractions) So I was very keen many years ago, that there were talks that Australia was going to get it's very first Flying Theatre attraction. December 2017 was when the dream (no pun intended) came true and we would have our very own Flying Theatre come to our very own shores but mainly in particular Dreamworld. Hearing the news on Friday morning, that after a whooping nine months of extra waiting after it's supposed 'ambitious' opening in December 2019. I quickly jumped online and renewed my Dreamword pass, which I was awaiting to renew when the attraction would open. The next day I arrived at Dreamworld at 9am, as I was unaware of what crowds I could be expecting on the day and would hope not to be waiting that long for the ride. I was the first person to ride the attraction/first cycle on the day and got the top row - gondola 4. (Great to see @Slickdoing his stuff and having a chat with him afterwards btw) Everyone on here that has posted an review, has covered pretty much of what leads up to the ride, and I, share the same opinions that I've seen online, *pre-show bad, pre safety video not informativ blah blah* I knew what I was going to expect from SV, What I had in my mind prior to riding was SV is still a going to be a great ride experience as Cutting Edge and Brogent would deliever the goods, but defs not on the same level as Soarin. If you go in with those expectations, you will get a kick out of it, which is exactly what I got. The first ride I had on SV, I got distracted with I thought it was at the time, a tear in the bottom right screen (turns out it was just an emergency exit light shinning through) so I didn't get the best first ride experience. The 2nd ride was way much better. I was on ground floor - gondola 2. This is definitely my favourite attraction that is there to offer at Dreamworld at the moment till ol Blue Fire arrives next year. Like others, I won't spoil the ride experience because it definitely requires you to check it out in person, because words can't describe how great these attractions like SV is. While SV is a very great ride, everything leading upto sitting down in your gondola is agruably what puts me off from coming back and back to do this and I hope like everyone else is feeling, it gets addressed in the future. SV has made me very optimistic for Dreamworld's future for the next few years, with Mack Coaster and the WWW slides coming within the next months/late next year, the future is looking indeed bright. DW's announcements last Friday alongside this residing positivitly with consumers is nothing but a win for the industry. It is a shame it had to take three years after the events after 2016 for the park to get something major but nonetheless it is bloody worth it, just wish it came earlier.

  15. There is no more relevant an IP than Looney Tunes. I would be absolutely pissed if that was ever to be overlooked. Happy to see a Lego ride (if licensing allows) or a Tom & Jerry attraction, but not at the expense of LT.

  16. Made a special trip to DW yesterday to experience SV for my very first time and..... It was closed due to tech issues.. 😪 we were told to go off and enjoy the other attractions etc, which we did and then we waited. And waited. Till finally at about 3 they told us it wouldn't be opening today. . Bugga😒
