    Love the new logo and so glad they got rid of the next generation name. Fingers crossed the original entry sign returns (or something just as good). And their choice of wording saying ‘the original spooks’ gives me hope. Not going to hype this up to much for myself because Village are known to hype things up and then disappoint.

    But if the boats still bottom out through the flume section of the ride, I definitely don’t think things have been ironed out. It makes the experience so uncomfortable and turned this ride from a ‘must do’ into a ‘if the queue isn’t too long’.

    @DaptoFunlandGuy here you go! Photos by @Theme Park Girl Considering there are lighting rigs set up in these photos and the night markets weren’t on this weekend, my guess is this was all set up for a private event. They’ve also got the DWF Gala at the start of next month which will be held in Rivertown/Tiger Island.

    With that type of ride model it’s seperate pieces joined together, but something like this wouldn’t happen on a ride like King Claw because it’s a completely different design and engineering. My take on that incident is either the ride wasn’t designed correctly, it’s not been maintained properly or (if it’s a travelling model) it wasn’t built properly.
  5. themagician
    Nope because I don’t work at the park. But I do know it used to barely have any downtime time and since they got these new boats it has a lot more downtime and seems to be very temperamental
  6. themagician
    Definitely not, it used to be one of the most reliable. The park has ruined this ride.

    I agree! Anyway…. to get these topic back on track WWF reopened a couple days ago and had closed for the weekend due to technical delays

    Not sure if it’s been like this for a while, but this photo from TPSN show it’s looking the textured look

    Some repainting is happening left of the castle @Theme Park Girl

    The ride harnesses have arrived @Theme Park Girl

    And WnW have closed the wave pool after the winter school holidays for as long as I can remember
  12. themagician
    The gates were blocked off for most of Winterfest, but I believe they just went to the effort of moving equipment and fencing during this time so the night markets could still operate during the school holidays.

    @franky it’s been open for almost 4 years and you’re right in saying it pretty much hasn’t had a long maintenance period (I think the longest was a month around the time of the Giant Drop refurb). To my understanding the park were able to develop a maintenance plan with Mack Rides that ensure the ride does receive its proper maintenance, without compromising the guest experience. Checks happen out side of park hours, and they ensure they have a sufficient amount of stock for all the parts they may require so it doesn’t delay reopening. The biggest maintenance job is generally on the trains, but they schedule those to have maintenance completed during school terms, so they can continue to operate it with one train. I’ve witnessed first hand how some of these checks occur and it’s certainly an impressive, thorough and effective process.

    Maybe the marketing comes alongside the contract of using their land. Therefore they get paid for the use of their land/park/resources, plus they get free marketing. 2-0 equal 2…. Therefore $$$ for DW

    This corner of the park is closed at the moment due to the construction of the new attraction. I don’t necessarily think Constrictor needs to close for it and is likely just a cost saving exercise.

    On this, the markets weren’t on last weekend or next weekend while the pathway to Ocean Parade is blocked due to King Claw

    I doubt Dreamworld are providing anything for free and in fact the park is probably making decent money from this partnership and they’re getting a lot of advertising. If the Friday Night Games are indeed returning and occur within the park again, then it’s a way to show the country how good the park is looking and that people should return.

    Dreamworld just posted this and said they haven’t forgotten about the big announcement And maybe this is a coincidence, but Big Brother just posted this at the exact same time Considering DWs original posts about the big announcement had the same glitchy effect, I think it’s almost safe to say it’s this
  19. themagician
    I think there’s been announcements in July before, but generally tickets have gone on sale alongside the date announcement.
  20. themagician
    Just date announcements
  21. themagician
  22. themagician
    Agreed, tonight I’m just expecting date announcement and ticket sales and maybe a hint at the theme for this years event
  23. themagician
    Movie World have teased that they’ll be making a Fright Nights announcement tomorrow night.
  24. themagician
    @DaptoFunlandGuy of course because a) I know this coaster type does and b) the car is labelled as 26!
  25. themagician
    Only if they got another coaster and called it B2
