  1. Well done DreamWorld! Its nice to see you addressing the little things. It is these types of improvements/refurbs that keeps a great park going.
  2. A bit off topic here, but Wyncenuros, did you also find MovieWorld to be really crowded for a weekday not on school holidays? The line up for Superman and Arkham were both well over an hour.
  3. You summed that up nicely. There are so many memories that come back from watching these ads. I really wish going to one of these parks still had that feeling. The parks have taken away this magic by introducing the cheap annual passes so we conintually go and have maketed themselves acordingly to this. Take away the 'Magic' of a whole day and add a 'Thrill' that lasts for 20-30 secs. I will never forget the first time walking into Disneyland and it taking me back to my child hood memories of when I was a child at dreamworld.
  4. I am already trying to convince my wife that we need to go back to Califonia.
  5. Indiana Jones - best, Its a Small World - definately worst. That song gets stuck in your head for hours.
  6. I was going to take my family to AW today but was put off by the $29 that I would have got charged for my 2 1/2 year old. Not really sure how many attractions a 2 1/2yr old can go on, so am spending my money elsewhere these holidays. I find it a bit rediculous that a small park would be willing to sacrifice patronage by charging for a 2+ yr old. Even the big parks don't start charging for children till they are 3.
  7. I hope it is WWW stage 3. Looking at the crowd sizes today between the 2 water parks you can definately see that WWW needs some urgent additions. Then again I will be happy with whatever it is... even Big Brother.
  8. Is great to see Australia getting another world first. Well done MovieWorld.
  9. There is now 4 containers in the car park. and not all of them have China Shipping on them.
  10. Thankyou Flea. Whats the secret to smaller pictures??? I am very excited for this new addition. It may no be a Major Coaster but I think it will have the appeal to the right demographic and is enough to draw the crowds back from Village Roadshow (for now). I understand that we as theme park enthusiasts expect/want a lot more from the parks in terms of attractions but to Joe Blog the appeal of this new coaster and the marketing of this ride has been very impressive, and I have not seen to much from the competition to compete (apart from what has been said on this website). I certainly have second guessed the passes I have bought.
  11. Just to point out the obvious, but if anybody has read the latest report from Village Roadshow in says that the new Major Rollercoaster will be a 2012 addition. Does anybody have any information to say other wise? In my opinion (with the hesitated anouncement, & and also what Aussienetman has said) it would not surprise me if there is a delay in the opening of the new attraction. It seems that MovieWorld have tried to show that they are installing a new attraction without actually knowing what they are doing - Keeping up with the Jones's. I really hope that I am wrong because I know what Village are capable of. If anyone actually read what I wrote above - please excuse me as I re-read the the announcement and realised that I missed some vital information - FY2012. Probably just the beer. Just ignore me.
  12. Well alot of action happening at the DreamWorld this morning. Here a some photos I managed to capture. Sorry about the size of the files. Not sure how to shrink the photos.
  13. MovieWorld have now removed from the My Fun website the comments about the their upcoming anouncements. They have however added that the Jet Ski Stunt show will be returning to Seaworld.
  14. What is the minimum purchase for ardent shares anyway?
  15. Did you notice the location of any other footings? Just another thing, Could you tell if the 2nd part of the tower was bolted to the gound or are they just fabricating the tower on the ground and lifting it into place?
  16. I was thinking along the same lines. With the mention of summer my first thought was water. Maybe they are trying to keep this one close to their chest due to the fact that WnW are not getting any new attractions this summer.
  17. After the new additions this year, I can't see anything happening at Dreamworld until at least Dec 2013.
  18. With 1 roller coaster being the difference in which park to buy tickets for, I would still go for the VIP pass. That rollercoaster at Dreamworld would want to be very good to sway my money against the Village passes, and with the addition of the Fright Nights and White Christmas I can not see why you wouldn't get the VIP pass.
  19. Not much happening at the Bermuda site. Some temporary fencing around the site but that looks about it. On another note, not sure how long they have been there, but there are four shipping containers sitting out the front of Seaworld at the moment. Has anyone else seen theses?
