  6. I always thought turnstiles would be cheap whey off doing it.
  7. I would be looking for this project to finally go ahead, geared up, for next xmas. Dreamworld has at long last got the negotiated decision, for the approval, from the G.C.C.C.
  8. As I said before, no cables catch it. There are a lot of topics covering this already and you can look it up.
  9. There is no cable under the car that hooks up automatically.
  10. I don't know why I called it Water Works. For the history buffs of the area. The tourism industry was developing along with the urban sprawl. Both Ashtons and Bullens Circuses were lobbying the Albert Shire Council for approval to construct Lion Parks. In December 1968 Bullens were negotiating the purchase of land in Stapylton and Ashtons established their park on the corner of Bryants Road and the Pacific Highway, which opened in April 1969. It was known as Ashton’s Animal Kingdom. Both of these ventures were relatively short lived. Ashtons was sold to the Myer Corporation in 1977. Myer Queensland Stores Ltd purchased the Ashton’s Lion Park site in October 1977 with the intention of building a regional shopping centre. A new Tavern opened in Loganholme in July 1979. The Wild Waters Water Slide Park began operation October 1982 adjacent to the old Ashtons site. While Myer initially shelved plans for the major shopping centre, a more compact centre, the Loganholme Shopping Village opened on Bryants Road in December 1987. Ongoing negotiations for the Hyperdome site involved the sale of Wild Waters in 1984. The turning of the first sod on the Hyperdome project occurred in September 1988, with the official opening in July 1989. I don't know if it still there but a few years ago near the compactors of the hyperdome, I saw the crocodile in the small cut of green slide gathering dust.
  11. Before the logan Hyperdome was built the site was a water park called Water Works.
  12. Here are some irrelevant statistics about the v8 supercar simulators. Bob Tan is in the top 100 list 30 times. Kim Hill is in the top 100 list 20 times Bob and Kim are in the top 100 at 50% Boys are better simulators driver then girls. Bob has driven car # 14 14 times in the top 100. Bob has driven car # 88 16 times in the top 100. Bob has only driven car #14 & #888 in the top 100 Bob drives fords faster then he drives Holden’s. Kim has only driven car # 51 in the top 100. Kim is scared about driving any other car or has the hots for Greg Murphy. Bob is a better driver then Kim. Final findings FORDS ARE BETTER THEN HOLDENS.
  13. I still think they are just doing a major REFURBISHMENT and nothing else.
  14. Something interesting I have noticed on the My fun web site. Corkscrew Rollercoaster is now closed to make way for an exciting new attraction. Last week the Attractions Maintenance said closed until end of November.
  15. From www.goldcoast.com.au THE world of VJ Ruby Rose turned upside down today as she rode her first ever theme park thrill ride, as part of the launch of the new summer attraction for Gold Coast theme park, Dreamworld. Over four weeks from December 26, some of Australia's most recognisable faces will present a live amphitheatre show called MTV Plugs Into Dreamworld, with a mix of music, stunts and games. Just before hopping on The Claw, Ruby said the show will run three times a day with celebrity hosts. "It's the best that MTV has, like Nitro Circus, Jackass and things, so you'll have stunts, it'll involve the audience ... and at the moment we're working out when I can come, hopefully for a week or so and be part of it as well," she said. Dreamworld CEO, Noel Dempsey, said it's the the union of the biggest youth brand in the world with the biggest theme park in the country. "We're taking (MTV) from the screen and putting into a show-based format .. it's going to be loud, music's going to be pumping, great energy ... and it's going to go off." Stepping off The Claw, Ruby said apart from a relatively tame roller-coaster it was the first ride she'd ever been on. "I was deprived as a child, I grew up in the country and we never had cash for things like this so it's fun to do it now as an adult. "I used to climb trees - that was my ride - climbing a tree then breaking something, so it wasn't quite as safe as this atmosphere - and not as fun." From the article above: "Dreamworld CEO, Noel Dempsey, said it's the union of the biggest youth *brand* in the world with the biggest theme park in the country." Noel Dempsey is starting to scare me. I never hated the word “brand” until Dreamworld added it into everything they did.
  16. This is so rad man, I am so amped. This is going to be crunk. Time to get out the old moves and get hip again. No fake, this will make Dreamworld the bomb again. Dreamworld can pencil me in NOT!
  17. Sorry guys and girls only caught part of this because I was on the phone at the time. Media release just came across on the radio about a new attraction for xmas. Something about someone famous going to Dreamworld today to launch a new MTV attraction for xmas.
  18. THE 'mirage' that is the Coomera Town Centre took a big step to becoming a reality yesterday with Dreamworld announcing it had sold a significant link in the project for $16.5 million. Town centre developer Queensland Investment Corporation has secured a huge parcel of land to the north of the theme park after almost a year of negotiations with owner Ardent Leisure, formerly known as Macquarie Leisure Trust. The sale marks the end of a drawn-out tussle between the city council and Ardent over its plans for the land, understood to total up to 50ha, or about half Dreamworld's Coomera land. The theme park owner had proposed a retail centre for the site, featuring a boulevard approach to Dreamworld leading south from Coomera rail station. More Gold Coast business news Have your say on the feedback form below The council opposed the plan, insisting the main retail component of the town centre should be located north of Foxwell Road. While the State Government-owned QIC has played down the importance of the land deal, it appears Dreamworld is still banking on the creation of a boulevard leading to the theme park. Ardent Leisure chief executive Greg Shaw said the deal would speed up the town centre development, which ultimately would benefit Dreamworld. "We're pretty keen to have that land developed. It's a good move forward and strategically, from our point of view, it makes good sense." QIC already owns 35ha north of Foxwell Road, adjacent to the train station, teaming up with shopping centre giant Westfield more than two years ago to secure the $44 million site which will form the core of the town centre. The Dreamworld deal now gives QIC the pivotal role in the proposed $1 billion development which has been on the drawing boards for almost two decades and is poised to create 20,000 jobs and 10,500 homes over the next 15 years. QIC's head of global real estate, Robert Carter, said the Dreamworld land was 'solely ... a strategic, long-term land holding' and the purchase would not alter the timing of the town centre construction. Mr Carter did not detail when the project would get off the ground, but said both QIC and Westfield were 'working closely' with the State Government and the city council to 'deliver a viable town centre'. "This is a separate land holding and will not have an impact on the timeframe of QIC's joint venture with Westfield to develop a vibrant master plan for the proposed town centre. "The (Dreamworld) site is strategically positioned within the Coomera Town Centre footprint making it an ideal location to integrate retail, residential and civic infrastructure over the long term." Ardent Leisure's Mr Shaw said about 15ha of land had been retained by Dreamworld for future expansion of the theme park, including carparking. What do people think they will spend the 16.5m on?
  19.
