The park changed ownership a little while ago, right? -
That'd be a first. Unfortunately human nature is to take the most efficient route which means most people heading for the ride entrance won't actually see it as they are practically underneath the sign the whole time It's undeniably a choice, I believe it to be the wrong one. I think you meant "diminishes" - and I disagree. It is collectively a themed 'land' however you can just as easily exit riders out of the attraction to the rear so that they experience the Villains area after riding. At any rate, this discussion was entirely about a billboard facing the wrong way in an AI generated theme park that is never going to be built, and the only reason Doomsday is topical is because it had a similar bridge facing what, in many people's opinion, is the wrong way. Are you arguing that the AI slop billboard of random inspirational words is facing the correct way? Because that's the point being made.

See... I wanted to try and find a picture of a billboard that was directly behind a tall building so nobody except the people in the building could see it, but nobody is that stupid to build a billboard behind a building. The best viewing angle for the doomsday bridge is the one seen in the Parkz photo above, which is not generally at the height most guests will ever get to see. Because people are navigating around a corner to enter the queue, they're typically looking down, and those not navigating to the ride queue are facing away from the sign because they're looking at the interactive features in and around the precinct. Yes, the ride name sign \ bridge should be over the entrance to the ride queue. But the ride queue should not be accessed from the back. Like I already said... it's facing the wrong way. And billboards shouldn't face into a building - it defeats their purpose. Plus, this isn't a bridge. this is just random AI slop YOႱИƎ ƎVAH ИUꟻ

Dreamworld - Something big is coming

TBH i'm surprised they didn't utilise the Dreamworld Theatre. the video wall would easily changeover to BB styling for broadcast. (Maybe that's their wet weather plan for the future)- 139 replies

Can you feed it to us on a spoon, because other than playing Rugby for the bedford blues and a Zambrero empire spanning two countries - what else is there to find? (Just to be clear here - I'm not rubbishing the Z - just asking for more info.)

Dreamworld - Something big is coming
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It's hard to tell what you're indicating - but taking our lead from most of your posts shitting on the park, it was a fair assumption that your post was intended to ridicule. The emoji didn't alter that.- 139 replies

While Australia has typically had a 'traditional' house with ceilings and the like, there are plenty of versions internationally shot on sound stages that have nothing but trussing and rigging overhead.- 139 replies

From what I'm aware, Sky Voyager and SX360 ran into issues due to the changing regs around that time. Without directing anything at particular manufacturers - they may assume they are compliant with Australian regs without realising they have changed. They can provide assurance they meet the standards without becoming aware that those standards changed. At any rate, i've simply put forth a suggestion on why, based on historic examples. i'm not suggesting it as fact, nor should it be read as so. Feel free to put forth your own suggestions on why the ride has essentially sat for months.

Sea World skews younger. while the park is busy, the younger families tend to drop off earlier in the afternoon and the park is a lot quieter close to closing. Without a night event to anchor later attendance, I don't see much merit in SW operating later, and there isn't much point opening earlier if maintenance and animal services aren't ready.

I tested that theory last year by visiting before Christmas. It was wrong. Sure - holiday traffic doesn't arrive, but the local passholder crowd are there in droves.- 404 replies

My thoughts are different manufacturers having different capacity to address these issues in a timely way - though i've no idea which manufacturers are involved for most flats.
