That is very nice that he took time to respond directly, but more importantly agreed with you on the choice of music. These are the subtle unquantifiable items that make a huge subliminal impact on guest experience.

Apparently (don’t know the full truth to this), the Gold Coaster operates on the same grid as WWW, so we won’t see it reopen until the waterpark does (which I suspect would be by the end of the week)

- The Gold Coaster - Dreamworld Flyer - Dreamworld Express - Vintage Cars Have all been added to Dreamword’s Maintenance page. All just listed as closed today, except for Vintage Cars which is listed as Jan 9.

Could be damage to specific electrical infrastructure at White Water World. It could also draw from a different grid to Dreamworld.

Considering current construction and investment as 'Phase 1' of the Dreamworld Overhaul, i think there will be 2 other phases. My perfect idea for the next two phases includes; Phase 2: 2025 - 2026 - new thrilling flat ride added into the old Wipeout plot of land. As much as the seating area looks nice, the area needs a ride in its place. Move the seating area over ugly empty space outside the surf central retail outlet. Anyways for what type of ride, they could put in a Zamperla Endeavour for the nostalgic Reef Diver route, or something like a Fabbri Rides Spider. pretty much any unique, inverting and reliable flat ride would work well. - Zamperla Nebulaz added into K&B Dreamland, you could either add this at the entrance into the area next to Belinda's Tree House or re-route KFF Queue so the ride can be nestled in the back (next to Humpty Go Round) - Motocoaster retheme with Quadbike style trains (similar to Juvelen's trains.) Completely replace the current station with an indoor station that fits in with the rest of the land's theme and have the launch go through a themed tunnel. The new colour scheme could be dark green track, brown supports. Motocoaster would close in the middle of 2025 and reopen towards the end of 2026. Phase 3 - 2027 / 2028 - A new Mack Watercoaster located in the back of Ocean Parade where the vacant Trolls and Kevil Hill attractions sit. With this being Dreamworld's first new water ride since the incident, having a ride model the public are already familiar with and enjoy is a safe choice. This coaster would open in Q4 of 2027, preferably before summer hits. - New big thrill coaster stretching from the RHLR area to the Blue Lagoon / Big Brother house area. I think a coaster such as an Intamin Mega Coaster (like Kondaa at Walibi Belgium) or a GCI Woodie would work really well and compliment ST well as the headlining coasters. The Station / Queue area and brake run could be in the RHLR area due to its close proximity to the Corroboree animals (less noisy without a train zooming past) with the rest of the coaster stretching out into the Blue Lagoon area of the park, with it going right up against both ST and the road leading into the park making it eye catching to guests driving into the park. This coaster would open towards the end of 2028. These additions would flesh out and beef up Dreamworld's ride line up, with the attraction count coming up to 27 (including JR, MM and the removal of the current Vintage Cars.) The 27 attractions include; Coasters: 8 (2 thrill, 5 family, 1 kids) Thrilling Flats: 5 Family / Kids flats: 7 + Seabed Splash, Banana's Fun Maze, Belinda's Tree House, Deep Sea Dodgems, Dreamworld Express, Murrissipi Motors and Sky Voyager.

Absolutely think that Dreamworld should turn their attention on Motocoaster next. It badly needs a retheme and new trains to better fit in with the Rivertown them close by. I doubt they would opt for spinning cars however. They would be the best option and would really bring something to the ride for sure. Even if they heavily rethemed the entire layout, added in some enclosed sections and gave the ride generic straddle quad bike trains with similar restraints to Jet Rescue and this would still be a far better ride for it. Paddle steamer- I can definitley see the need for it but I think its a very small chance of it happening. A water coaster or a well themed log flume with indoor and well themed sections should happen before any new coaster. This should be the priority for mine after the Moto coaster retheme. As for flats I think Dreamworld needs something unique and different from what is already out there in the Australian theme park landscape. The reason Wipeout was so beloved and iconic was because there was nothing else like it in Australia at the time it was installed. Give the punters something that is good to ride, that is going to leave a positive impression but one that they can only get at Dreamworld and will leave them wanting to come back for more. Wipeout did that for the entirety of its lifespan and was why it was so successful. These would all be excellent contenders in my opinion. From RES - The Oracle Also from RES The Sunseeker From Fabbri Rides- The Spider From Fabbri Rides again The InControl A well themed one of these would make an excellent Family thrill installation Then again,how long before we see one of these in Australia? Or one of these? Or if we want to play with nostalgia lets have the updated Reef Diver II Incidentally , RES have done some great versions of flume rides and Rapid rides and they also have a a great concept for a Water coaster that Dreamworld could do wonders with a custom layout...... https://ride-engineers.com/rides/water-coaster/ Plenty of options for Dreamworld to play with. Great topic!! Looking forward to hearing other ideas!

Would a Mondial Avalanche be seen as too similar to the Claw and not worth while investment when there are so many other flat rides out there? I know its very different but with a park with a limited amount of flat rides be seen as too similar?

Not predictions, but a wish list: Motocoaster definitely needs a re-theme and new trains, ideally spinning because normal trains on that layout will basically be Big Red Boat 2. I'd also love to see the Paddle Wheeler return, ideally with the bush ranger show, but it could also come back as a pub - maybe with some on-board performers that also hold-up the train. The performances could just be around holiday periods, but I'd like to see more entertainment in the park, rather than just rides, to go back to the park atmosphere from the 90s. Restoring the Baldwin steam train would be also be nice, especially if bringing back the Paddle Wheeler. A water ride like a log flume is a must and a priority, something well themed - ideally with an actual story, family friendly with a good splashdown, and lots of viewing platforms for photo opportunities. I'd prefer to see a Mondial Avalanche (It's a visually more impressive ride, however tame) alongside a wooden or hybrid coaster - possibly a GG or RMC. I'd put them behind ST in the Blue Lagoon area. An RMC raptor would also be an ideal ride to fill the old Thunderbolt spot. DW has been missing an 'out-of-control feeling' thrill coaster since Eureka closed. They could put in a generic wild mouse, but I think a woody/raptor combo at opposite ends of the park would be a great way to expand in both directions and spread out the crowds. I'd bring back the laser-tag version of Kevil Hill during school holidays, and re-do the facade of SkyVoyager to fit the area. For the Wipeout spot, a high-capacity flat like a classic pirate ship - something families can ride together - themed to fit Ocean Parade.

In regards to the awful pop music that was playing at the park entrance and around the flyer recently, I emailed in my feedback direct to dreamworld. I initially received the usual “thanks for your feedback, we’ve passed it on the the relevant team”, however I was followed up this morning with an email straight from Greg Young. He thanked me for the feedback, and said that he shared my thoughts on the music and they have since reverted back to the classic/Disneyland style Main Street music. He also said they still have a few more things to touch up and complete at the front of the park that they are currently working on. Interested to know what that means? Anyways I thought that was worth sharing. If it’s worth complaining about on here, then perhaps it’s worth sending in the feedback. It’s clear that they listen and appreciate enthusiasts feedback 😊 I also noted several comments while lining up for the flyer about how quick the lines moved compared to the competition down the road! Yes it is a people eater with the number of seats, but regardless that’s some good customer feedback heading into the Christmas school holidays!
