  1. I think it has to be something opening... like a shop or upcharge, the wording in my mind does not really read like a show This year's biggest Summer Surprise - Opens December 2011 Someone actually said on Facebook that DW will be opening a third gate... lmao
  2. I'm of the mind that we will see Nick's replacement.
  3. Fair enough. Wouldnt be thr first impractical move by the gc parks. Lol
  4. Chances of that happening? Zero to none Barring some sort of one off Halloween production to absorb crowds mw won't put the resources into a live stage show that will show everyday. Its a big space that's going to waste, but long gone are the days of special effects shows and quality theatre on our parks. The VIP pass has created a new kind of parkgoer - the bogan family. Make it loud, make it screech and make sure there's an explosion. Mw are not going to create anything spectacular for that space within the next 5 years. I would be the first person in line to see a good quality show, but its not going to happen.
  5. Dreamworld suck and from Twitter and facebook updates it seems the shockwave has been getting complaints about thr seats and harnesses. Anyone here been for a ride ?
  6. Level it. Pour a concrete slab on the same angle and then the shooter can use all that space and different levels.
  7. 70 million ? Holy shit.. that mermaid ride is not very good
  8. Sounds like a plan ! Thanks gazza
  9. whereas the seaworld website says bermuda's closed permanetly to make way for a new attraction... is there life in the old girl yet?
  10. just adding - on the SW website on the park map where Bermuda use to be - does it say "New Attractions Coming Soon"? Attractions means more than one....
  11. Hi all, So I asked this question back in August and now I'm asking it again. I did not end up buying a pass last year as the parks just didn't offer me a good enough reason to fork out the dough to visit and I have worked at DW and MW so being spoilt to ride the rides whenever I was in the park and not have to pay for a few years meant that the Parks had to do something great to get my back in. Going to the Sunset Safari at Dreamworld last night was the first time I had seen the Motocoaster in person ( a lot bigger in real life can I just say) You could technically say I havn't been to Dreamworld since Motocoaster and I have not been to VRTP parks since Movieworld updated to Journey as a paying guest. So, which parks tickets should I buy? Which park has earned my dollar from their additions or subtractions over the last 12 months, and from whats rumoured for the next 12? I can only afford one ticket so I'm really interested to know why you guys think one is better over the other.
  12. Hey dj, yes. It was surprisingly excellent value. If your into animals its worth the trip
  13. Like themeparkgc said there might be no action where guests can see, but the interior scenes may be gone. The whole ride interior could be gutted for all we know. Can't wait to see what's,next for sraworld. Zendorphin claimed on facebook today the,new ride will be put in the space where the pirate ship was. So maybe something else is on store for the Bermuda triangle space.
  14. There are still bits of nick theming here and there - the safety signs still have the old names.
  15. Tonight my partner and I decided to check out Dreamworld's Sunset Safari. Meeting at the Bengal Tiger Exhibit at 4:30pm, we were taken behind the exhibit to view the Tigers in the cages. We were given a very informative talk by a keeper Peter. It was great seeing these big cats up close. We were then met by our guide for the evening Kelly, who took us to behind the scenes at the Australian Wildlife Experience. We visited Quarantine, the Surgery and the food preparation area for all the animals While in these areas we got to meet a Bilby up close and also pat a snake. Following this we went behind the scenes in Koala Country and saw the very active koalas having tea. Another keeper Matt then came out and was holding another koala which we had photos with and were allowed to touch. Sandwiches and bottled water was than provided to everyone and a good rest was had at the Kakadu wetlands. This place is beautiful at night, and you totally forget you are in a themepark. It's very peaceful and great. Matt then took us behind the scenes with the Dingos for dinner. Dreamworld's Sunset Safari is great value for money. Our group only had 11 people, but upto 25 people can enjoy this tour at a time. If you love animals and would like a behind the scenes look at how the keepers help maintain the animals, then this tour is great value. I would suggest that Dreamworld maybe have a couple of flashlights, because some of the pathways are pitchblack and it was hard to navigate in points. The inclusion of the sandwiches and bottled water were a welcome treat, and add to the evening. Peter, Kelly and Matt were fantastic. They were all excellent speakers who were more than happy to answer all the questions we had. Sunset Safari can be pre-booked and you do not need to pay for park entry to have this experience. If you are not paying for park admission you cannot enter the park through the main gates until 4:30pm. Tickets are $25 each and only available these school holidays. **pictures are used for review purposes only -- there is no benefit, either personal or commercial, to the photographer**
  16. Just having a look around and the 120cm height restriction seems to be across the board for all types of disk'o. As Gazza said, no matter how big the disk'o its still a family ride. They could have got the biggest one and still called if a family ride. I am still disapointed that dw have gone for two Meh attractions.
  17. Re Halloween. Just so its clear, I was obvioisly joking about this info from the churro seller .
  18. Thanks for the video. Not enough to buy a pass yet. Just does not look very exciting to me. I'll wait and see what happens in Sept
  19. That's good news. I'm liking the new price structure. Dreamworld have followed suit ?
  20. For those that are interested the tv show Megastructures has an episode about Kingda Ka on Sunday night at 730. It's on one of the channel 7 channels
