When the park opened, this ride was one of the most popular at the park, as it was entertaining for the whole family. For those that are too young to remember, they had barbershop quartets and cowboys shows as it went round Currently it is about as boring as any ride could possibly be, and really needs a makover to get people back on it, and stop it from being a white elephant.
I (and I am sure the Dreamworld Management) would be interested in hearing some ideas of what can be done on the ride to make it worthwhile again.
My idea is to bring it into the Wiggles World mode and make it part of that whole area, as that is where it is after all. Perhaps they could make it into the Big Red Wiggle Riverboat and get Dorothy, Wags, Henry and Captain Feathersword to perform a couple of songs (mimed of course) as it goes around the park. Not eveyones cup of Rosie Tea, but better than the current situation.
