I think Movieworld include special events in their attendance reports - they do a lot more than Dreamworld and I think this is a big reason why attendance is higher.

And that's fine. Be harsh about the reviews, I am not saying dont do that. I for one was not happy with justice league and my first ride on the preview day was unbelievably disappointing I felt like I was going to cry. I hate some of the directions they take, and some of the marketing team needs to re-think their ideas. It is the entitlement that I read here which gets me hot. By all means, continue the lively discussion, just stop acting like the parks owe us anything. (Not directed at anyone in particular!)

Pretty sure we get the same thread every 6 months or so. I'm so sick of the same discussion bah. Replace mine ride, clean the water rides, remove motacoaster, do something with vintage cars. It is always the same. Dreamworld do not care what people here think, all they care about is getting people through the gate. We all know cyclone needs work. Capacity is horrible, and tie that in with one operator who just doesn't give a damn and your in for a long wait. The queue line is ridiculous. They will not spend money on things that won't return money. Adding theming to vintage cars is one of them. Cleaner water in the lake is not one on them. Getting rid of theming that has no point, has no point. The chair lift Is dead and buried, forget about it. A shark and water on wipeout won't make me want to make a special trip to ride it. Disney is not going to buy dreamworld. Dreamworld is interested in making money. While they are still profitable and making money I so not see any huge expenditure. They are not competing with vrtp anymore and have no interest in doing so. Dreamworld have no reason to spend money on upgrades, new rides etc and can continually give us sub-standard carnival attractions because the teenagers will still go. The families will still go. Although the rides may not be as good, you do get a full day out of dreamworld. If Movieworld is quiet it is half-day at best (and that's seeing all the shows) Went to aus zoo the other day and was at a water bubbler filing up my water bottle and another guest just happened to say he was at Movieworld and it would have cost him $8 for a water there and he was happy aus zoo has bubblers for free. It is the small stuff that makes a difference. As soon as the land becomes more valuable then keeping the theme park it will be sold off to developers and dreamworld will be gone. Management have no intentions if bringing the park back to its former glory. They read you pr emails with your suggestions and laugh at them, because the average guest is going and spending money. You want them to spend more money why? So it looks better? So you have one more coaster to ride. Dreamworld don't have to do this to keep the money coming in. We are lucky that vrtp do seem to add things often, and even then we complain. I complained about JL, others complain about HSD. We complain they built a coaster in the carpak. We complain that there's no fire on a new coaster and email them. For gawdsakes people. Take a look at yourselves and what you are becoming. Did you ever say thank you? These parks owe you absolutely nothing and I'm sick of the attitude some have where they feel so entitled as to demand change. Get over yourself and get a freaking life. Opinions brought to you by me. You are welcome.

Knowing seaworld they will do the opposite and turn the rest of the ship right side up. Love the videos slick - well done

Another article from the daily http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/wetnwild-new-years-eve-party-organisers-refuse-to-apologise-saying-revellers-being-refunded-is-enough/story-fni0cx12-1226794969743

I was going to bite at the ten bucks an hour as well... And had written a nice reply with some facts to back it up... but then couldn't be bothered. I knew others here would do the Job baha

Yea, the screams at the end were not needed

ThIs is true bussy

Lol... Enthusiasts act so entitled. Just because someone enjoys shopping at woollies, doesn't mean that they get the red carpet rolled out and their own lane at the checkout. Unfortunately, we are a tiny tiny portion of the market and not even a blip on their radar. About 10 people cranky about a fence? Pfft. Perhaps the fence jumpers should have realised bringing this oh&s problem to seaworlds attention wouldn't have gone their way? The majority of guests would just think. "Oh a fence, I'll go round" it's only a limited few who ruin it for everyone by jumping the fence, and then kicking a stink that it should be open, and then get upset that the fence is raised to stop this handful from doing it again. Seaworld opens the gates, loses some revenue, but now you don't have to jump it? I'm not surprised that seaworld went the direction they did at all, and I think it's hilarious

Just because the company was new, does not mean that the organisers behind it didn't have the cred to pull it off, and going by flees comments it sounds like at least one of the organisers knew what he was doing.

Agree with you dj. Seaworld fixed the problem. It may not have been the outcome most wanted, but they definitly showed whose boss.

Yea I dont care and never did.

Cheers reanimated.

Thanks Liz and MBA. If it hasn't already I would assume big red car will get an update for the new wiggles. I'm a little to old and childless to ride this one solo to find out for myself haha

Wnw stated that the organiser cancelled the event. Surely they couldn't say this if they had cancelled it instead?

Thanks for the review Lis. I have always enjoyed a day out at dreamworld and sounds like your family enjoyed it as well. Can I ask did you notice if any of wiggles world has been updated for the "new" wiggles?

Lol was thinking the same thing

I think there is a bigger chance of village opening a new (albeit small) waterpark in Perth then building a new theme park in sydney.

It is funny that it looks like Parkz had some input into this... Even if it was in the opposite direction... Maybe they will do the opposite from now on. Dreamworld - please don't replace the mine cart ride Movie World - please don't open an amazing replacement for ltrr within the next 12 months

That is absolutely hilarious... Just walk the long way ya lazy bunch of lazies

Op, let it go and move on. It was a year ago as you said... Teaching your kids to hold onto petty things like this is setting them up for failure. Yes I sympathise that you got an undercooked piece of chicken, but I don't understand what you expect wet n wild to do in this instance. It sounds to me like you are after compensation....

I think seaworld have about 14 dinosaurs... Palmersaurus has over 160

Mate. I'm not going to get into an argument, if you have an in-park dining reservation or even a booking in the barber or boutique, they do not deny you access. Edited for clarification - Once the park starts nearing capacity they start closures in phases. Annual pass holders and those with in-park reservations (dining and appointments) are the last type of ticket denied entry. They deny entry to all other types prior to this.Lets be clear, with how wdw is moving with the my magic band, and the fact you can book a specific day, with specific attraction times and dining plans and fast passes, there is no way they will deny access to you if you have pre-booked all of this prior to your trip. I didn't mention FP+ as an entry condition. Now, it is fairly reverent here because wnws could have made guests book specific days for one day admission to try and cap numbers early And to upsell their own Annual pass as an everyday option, go when you want situation.

Westical, generally those with in park reservations or appointments will get in. They will not deny entry.

Jacob I know the feeling of venturing alone! Alas I don't have many friends who are as obsessed as me, so most visits to the parks are solo! It does mean however that I get to jump most queues with the glorious single rider!
