What I see as someone not associated with the parks at all is a park doing its best to rebuild after horrendous neglect resulting in the death of guests .... And a park in cruise control with dilapidated surroundings with no love or care for the guest experience. It's my opinion and I know I'll hear shouts of 'dw fanboy'.. but as a complete outsider with no ties to either venues all I can say - dreamworld deserves the praise it's been getting and Movieworld needs to stop taking its guests for granted. Dreamworld is screaming at me 'look we are putting in the effort'. Movieworlds just like 'hey we didn't kill anyone - come on in ya suckers' IMO

We were there from 11am - 130pm. Whole park quiet and really disappointed DW arnt getting more love atm. But in saying that, quite a few big busses parked in the carpark today and a bunch of big school type groups about. Sky Voyager walk on (both levels working - and still the best ride on the GC imo) Taipan walk on. Only real queue was for Gold Coaster and Vintage Cars. Wiggles world looking extremely sad and needs some desperate attention. Park clean and beautiful looking. Gardens well maintained. Staff experiences great as usual. External Food vendors looked a little bored when we past through at 11. Dreamworld not doing much wrong atm imo. An updated kids area for the tiny ones would be a good investment given the really poor showing gold coast wide for the little ones and could help bring back the family's.

Spent some time here in the garden reflecting today. I think it is tasteful and (for now) well maintained... Imo the speaker near the space should be turned off to allow those who want a quiet space to pay their respects needn't put up with Aussie bush music. I don't think it needs any more identifying information.

Pictures from 4th April . Edited to add more

Over the past few months I have been pondering the question...When did Movieworld lose its magic' Was it the closure of Police Academy for the bogan-fueled SD? Was it the lacklustre 'improvements' to Scooby? Do we even go as far back and say the magic ended with the literal closure of the Special Effects show? I remember recently travelling by bus to the park... And a family of tourists were sitting close by excitedly talking about what they were going to ride when they got there while I silently ticked off the rides in my head that were closed and thinking of the disappointment they might feel when they discovered the truth. I guess your pictures put into words the general feeling I have towards MW atm. All substance, no style.

Have an awesome holiday and congrats on the wedding 😊 At Dreamworld, The Claw and Giant Drop will be your big tests. The Claw is the least friendly ride for bigger guests but does have a test seat out front. They also have a 'reported' weight limit on Sky Voyager but in all my times there Ive never been weighed in and never seen my other full figured pals be weighed either. Scooby Doo at Movieworld is a Scooby don't for those with large thighs and waist. You're best attempt to ride Scooby will be in the back seat. Those are the only ones we usually come across with difficulties that I can think of BUT the staff are always extremely accommodating and will do their best to help you ride safely... So I say give them all a go and have fun!

Agree solo spinning Taipan. Assuming you are a larger build as well due to your harness issues on other rides.... But that solo back seat on Taipan.... Amazzzzzinnnggggggg

Totally off topic 😂😂ST was a walk on yesterday for the most part. When I left around 1230, both trains still being used but we're being sent with only 4-8 riders each train. Sky Voyager had a two cycle wait but enjoy the indoor queue and the video featuring the woman I havnt seen before in the second preshow. Also I remember some talk here of a weight limit in SV. noone was questioned in our party and we had some big builds there 😂

Same size you'd expect in the pub

Dreamworld Kenny's Chick 'n Wings Hawaiian Parmigiana $19.50 Pretty damn tasty and good value. Coleslaw underseasoned and dry but recommended if you're looking for something thats not a burger or hotdog. 4/5 noms

Spinning seat solo ... Most intense and exhilarating experience I have had on a rollercoaster in my life

Interesting. Have never had it enforced with my party .. and some of us like to eat

I was there about a month ago and no weight limit was enforced on voyager. Bit disappointed if that's the case now. I take groups to the parks... and voyager was one of the only ones we could do comfortably with everyone

Because im in the mood to split hairs.... are they counting each individual slide of a setup as a single slide? Aint no way vrtp have 115+ rides, shows and slides (unless they count each individual slide i guess) 42 open today between wnw, mw, sw. Didnt bother with PC. Not counting meet and greets as a show or upcharges 👌 also does a walkthrough animal exhibit count as a show? I didnt include them 🤷‍♂️

Really nice day today at WWW. Park is looking really good and very very busy. All staff we interacted with were awesome

I like your design ideas slick but not the jacarandas... jacs are actually an invasive pest species 🤷‍♂️... plant some stuff... but lets make them natives

Boosting an old topic 🤣 couldnt find a better place to post. Music video filmed at this park featuring Gotham, Metropolis area and also the plaza

Pretty much guarantee staff will be told to park in the staff carpark for the next event

Im also of two minds here..... balancing the value of the possible income generated from this action verses bringing the accident back into the spotlight. Would have been a hard decision to make

Sorry couldn't stick around but looks like a full circuit might be on the cards today? 20210908_121947.mp4

Was just leaving the park and saw some more testing. Looks like some dudes (possibly from here) attaching a camera to the train. Pov coming soon ?! 20210908_120514.mp4

What do we think? Lockdown lifting / ease of restrictions or business as usual tomorrow for SEQ?

Would love a Fear Street maze.... god those movies were brutal

It was free the other day. Their were two options on the app... get on now for $15 or virtual Q for free. Honestly I dont visit enough to know how often virtualq is free - but it certainly was on Tuesday:)

Didnt know where else to put this.. but virtual Q ar Movieworld the other day was so well run. Really suprised more people arnt taking advantage. Superman was a 40 minute wait.. scooby around the same... but literally did every 'adult' ride in the park in less than an hour due to the virtual q.
