Legoland refurbishment permit filed Dreamworld
Tim Dasco replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If one was to retheme ABC kids world into Lego there is a lot that could be done to bring life to this area of the park. Remove the Fun maze and the sad tiny Tea cups ride, the Rock N Tug and ferris wheel can be moved around as needed. BRC ride can be gutted, and you have the surrounding area of the TOT station and Billabong. Also could work MDMC into the theme. See Red outline could be an entire "lego land". Re theme MDMC as some sort of Lego racing coaster (Market as a family coaster). Put a new trackless Lego themed dark ride or (Vekoma Mad house in the old BRC ride building. (Might need to expand the building back. Then buy a few new flat rides, a large Tea cups (Or even the Mack Twist N Splash version) and a Zamperla Telecombat ride (Think Dumbo) and maybe a new kids drop tower think Loopy Light house or even a small kids coaster see spongebob. Bamn you have a great family / young kids area perfect for the families. Then reopen Billibong as some sort of Lego food outlet. Realistically all of that should cost no more than $20 million and you have given new life to that entire chunk of the park. With a very popular IP. See video for Vekoma Mad house themed to Lego. -
Dreamworld recently filed a permit for a refurbishment of “Legoland”. Now this was only submitted last month and the refurbishment of the Lego store happened late last year I believe. So my question is what could this be? My guess based on pure speculation is that we could see at some stage ABC kids world or Dreamworks rethemed to Legoland. As much as I love dreamworks as someone who grew up with the IPs they are starting to date. Pure speculation on my behalf.

Easter 2022 Crowds at the Theme Parks
Tim Dasco replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Ok so thought I would chime in my 10cents here. BLOCK OUT DATES: Adventure World suffered these issues last season and they re worked the way they operated this season. Adventure World last year sold out of their entire season pass allocation within 1 week of the park reopening. They have a set limit and once they reach this thats it. They turned people away last season and this season. So this season they launched a new season pass with blockout dates. Creating 3 tiers, platinum, Premium and Standard. The Premium pass was capped with a lower maximum of passes they sold to ensure attendance wasn't to high over peek periods and the blackout dates were the entire summer holidays and Good Friday. Now when they launched this any renewing member that wanted to select the standard option could only renew over the phone so you had to physically call guest services who explained the blackout dates BEFORE you paid for them. In addition to information on their websites. GUARANTEED ENTRY? The park also changed the way they did online tickets, you can purchase date specific tickets or non date specific tickets. The non date specific tickets point blank say entry is not guaranteed on that day if we reach our capacity. Lots of TV adds about this and website info. MAX CAPACITY They also have a max. capacity limit set to ensure queues aren't too long and this capacity is set by what the rides and park itself can handle. They are licensed to hold 8,000 people but they normally close the gates at 5,000 people according to their facebook page. Increasing as they build more rides IE Abyss, Kraken and Goliath. -
480 is its theoretical hourly capacity. Which means 20 cycles an hour. A cycle every 3 minutes.

Mystery Red Sea Container at Dreamworld
Tim Dasco replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion

Abyss doesn’t have seat belts, that’s with an OTSR. -
BBQ chicken and bacon. It’s the best flavour. Amazing tasting 😎

Adventure World has an amazing quality menu with some great food options. Their pizza and donuts are the best that I have had at a theme park. This bad boy with season pass discount is $28 and is super tasty. Took 3.5 minutes to arrive once ordered. (Tiki bar outlet) All fresh 😎

Arkham asylum replacement theming??
Tim Dasco replied to Cooper Liston's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I wonder if we see them add a spinning seat to the second train to solve this issue, if the spinning seat proves to be popular and a money maker. -
Arkham asylum replacement theming??
Tim Dasco replied to Cooper Liston's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Doesn’t matter how many trains it can run, most of the times seems Superman and Rivals run 1 train each. -

Tim Dasco replied to Cooper Liston's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I mean they did just build rivals and green lantern as thrill coasters that didn’t replace existing rides. So they could still remove AA to replace with family rides. -

Tim Dasco replied to trevorfromaustralia's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It was a good fun ride, 100% more forceful than doomsday for sure. It’s a ARM model not a Huss model. Still lots of fun. Also due for a full rebuild once the carnival ends in February. New scenery, new lights, paint, motors etc. -

Adventure world has its annual AW nights events which is great in those summer events being open till 11pm, with fairy lights, flamingos, bands, food trucks etc. great event to chill and enjoy the warm hot Perth summer. -
Old luna ride is in Perth West Australian
Tim Dasco replied to trevorfromaustralia's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It’s not the ranger ride, it’s the travelling ride called “Top Gun” which is the same ride type. Which has been brought by sideshow amusements in perth. Recently done up and will debuts there -
With Steel Taipan now open what do people think will be next for the park? Personally I’m hoping their next major Capex addition is a large scale family attraction be a water based one or a family coaster. But something that caters to all. or do we see the ABC kids world remodel coming next? That area is in need of some love as well? Interesting times and let the speculation begin.

Well a slide like kraken does 600 people an hour. Same as gravity wave, perfect storm etc.

Controversial opinion, Buzzsaw was a decent ride. You will be missed.
