GOLD Coast’s Sea World will tomorrow unveil a “game-changing” new visitor attraction city leaders have been desperate for: a $50m new thrill ride precinct. Village Roadshow Theme Parks, which operates Sea World, will reveal three new adventure rides in a new 1.5-acre zone being added to its Sea World park in the next 18 months. Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby, in an exlusive interview with the Bulletin running tomorrow, says it plan will be a “game-changer” for the city and create a whole new destination. A Village preview of tomorrow’s announcement, to be attended by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, says: “Village Roadshow Theme Parks is set for an exciting 18-months with $50 million dollars scheduled to be spent, including thrilling new attractions for the Gold Coast parks, enhancing guest experiences, and maintaining Village Roadshow Theme Parks’ high standards of animal welfare, technology and plant integrity. Village Roadshow Theme Parks CEO, Clark Kirby will be joined by Queenlsand Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk at Sea World tomorrow to announce the new attractions.” The investment is Village Roadshow’s biggest since it unveiled the new 1.5km hyper coaster at its Movie World theme park at Oxenford in mid-2017. The Gold Coast Bulletin will have full details of the new Sea World precinct and the first images exclusively at goldcoastbulletin.com.au from midnight Skeet needs to buy more beer on the way home so he doesn't run out before 12.

Fixed.

The Ski truck only works if Mishka drives it and runs over some animal rights activist.

G.C.C.C. cleaned it up. 😀 "Graffiti is a crime that affects us all. It can lower property values, make people feel unsafe, reduce business patronage and encourage other types of crime. Most graffiti occurs on exposed walls and fences and is usually in the form of messages in letters or images, written in spray paint, permanent marker or even etched into the surface with a sharp instrument. Graffiti vandals have no respect for private or community property and no regard for the negative impacts of their actions. Their aim is to impress their peers and strengthen their reputations, by putting their graffiti tags in as many places as possible. Graffiti that is left intact attracts more graffiti and the longer it remains, the greater the gratification for perpetrators. It also suggests that the community does not care or is unable to deal with the problem. Keeping business premises graffiti free helps to reinforce a professional image with customers, while keeping our neighbourhoods graffiti free reinforces pride in our city and helps to maintain feelings of safety and well-being. You can help us to stay on top of graffiti vandalism by taking measures to prevent it, and if it does occur, by making sure it is cleaned as quickly as possible. City of Gold Coast supports a range of programs aimed at preventing graffiti - such as encouraging property owners to be more aware, working with retailers of paint products and working with police and other government agencies on crime prevention and education".

Hear ye, Hear ye,. He has the weight of every enthusiast on his shoulders. I really hope John Osborne hired Greg because he realised he needed the experience of somebody to help him instead of going it alone which is a real turn around from past CEOs of DW. I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying @joz I'm only thinking out loud and I haven't come to a conclusion yet. edit Just announced. Now it's "starting" to float my boat.

Bye Bye BMX. Hello skiing pyramid. What? A man can dream.

I would still like to see who is going to the events. Is it a season pass holder who leaves as soon as the Cosentino show is over or are people paying $85.00 to get into to the park because they really want to see Cosentino? I've always applauded DW for running events and extending trading times over the Christmas school holidays and complained about Village for being a tight ass during the busy periods. I like events at this time of the year because it adds value in going to the park during the busy periods. It makes a customer happy and not reflecting I just shelled out $500.00 for the family and we got to go on 3 rides. I look at the current shows/events as crowed soakers and I don’t think DW need crowed soakers right now. They do little to attract anybody who are willing to pay $85.00 to go Ice Skating. If they want to get people interested in DW again with events they really need to lift their game with events and take a page out of MW’s events. Fright Night, Carnivale & White Christmas are all crowed generators and the best thing about it I have never felt the need to go on a ride at these events. All the time & money going into these smaller events would be better spent in DW adding just 1 kickass show. But this has been DW’s problem all along and why I continue to say DW haven’t changed their stripes and are only looking at quick fixes and Band-Aids solutions.

Not Raptors. No plans for anybody to build a T-rex which would come very close to, if not knocking off a RMC Hybrid from my number 1 spot. @DJKostyaThe only problem I have with T-rex is it's a prototype which would only add more bad publicity for DW if it had major delays.

Great coaster to ride @DJKostyabut visually it doesn't compete with Rivals. When you drive past Rivals on the M1 and it calls you to ride it and that's why I have gone with a RMC Hybrid over a Raptor. The world has gone silent (as far as I've seen) on a T-Rex model so I don't know if RMC are even interested in building that model.

To get into DW. Unless you know a good spot to jump the fence.

So if I want to go Ice Skating I can pay $85.00 to get into DW and pay an upcharge to go for a skate or I can pay $14.00 to skate at Planet Chill. Oh boy which one will I do.

MW sometimes do stupid things too. If the Winterfest engulfs the whole park like Frightnight does Winterfest should be great but if it's a rink in a corner and you get a 3min go the event will blow.

@JobeThe only thing I agreed on with @Slick's list was his number 1 and I don't care about the rest. Your No 1. was different but you ruled out Slick's No.1 without knowing what it was. You nominated a game changing ride for DW without knowing what you ruled out or if the ride you were replacing it with was a world-class thrill ride. I found that funny and why I did the-

Is it really a new found effort? I'm seeing the same old DW because everything I've seen so far DW has done before. Until Skeet sees something solid I will continue to be questioning DW's efforts. Promises and bottom shelf events. (besides Cosentino)😀

First you need a cake to ice. Cosentino and abc kids month are the icing on the cake. But without a cake people watch Cosentino or the Wiggles and walk straight out the door afterwards.

934 days since TRRR incident. Hardly overnight.

Instead of fill ins by Westfield entertainment corporation. DW have an amphitheatre and it's about time DW put it to work. Let's turn it around and what would people prefer at MW? (A) Police Acadamy Stunt Show (B) Ice Skating for 2 weeks.

I don't believe anybody thinks DW doing something is a bad thing but I do think DW could do so much better.

I'm glad DW are doing something but I still believe DW’s ideas are bottom shelf as I’ve seen Ice Skating in shopping centres before. DW’s entertainment is not what I would expect to see at a theme park but what I would expect to see at Westfield and it’s time for DW to come up with a permanent show. The Bushranger show was a great step forward but than some idiot took away the main prop (TRAIN).

I've followed a crackhead in America for at least 4km and she walked backwards all the way. She never turned around once and I don't think she even knew she was walking backwards. No need to imagine with MW because it says "elevated walkway". This is what they are talking about.

"Dreamworld launches its inaugural Winterfest celebration". It's not really inaugural if DW has done it before. I'm still waiting on Mr Osborne to bring something new to the table because as far as I can see, new CEO same old DW. "Australia’s BIGGEST theme park" Always makes me chuckle when I see this.

HaHaHa I want a RMC Raptor? Is a Raptor good? You should know if you're saying it's the ride to change DW around. Paint it.

Without a doubt an RMC Hybrid has been my pick since Rivals was born. It would be a mistake for DW to go a steel track because it will be compared with Rivals. DW also have the problem even without Rivals MW would still have a good line up of coasters where DW’s line up is below par. DW must give people a reason not to give a shit and overlook the rest of the park to ride that one unique ride. In the coaster world you couldn’t get more different from a Mack Hypercoaster to a RMC Hybrid and DW needs a point of difference to get people back and not this MW is the thrill park and DW is a family park garbage. (Sidenote: Considering the main Tower was built for the TOT could it “be a possibility” when the TOT becomes unserviceable the tower would have to be removed too resulting in the removal of the drop?).

I've never paid more than $80.00 to see a show.
