From April 14, the non-vaccinated will be allowed back into theme parks

Movie World is looking for performers for this years Hooray for Hollywood event. Great to see the event return.

And while not a shed, the Jet Rescue and Green Lantern stations aren’t much better

The interactive map has been updated to feature the food truck locations https://www.dreamworld.com.au/park-information/park-map/online-map/#/

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Will Smith slap was part of the delay for Leviathan opening

What if it was real?

It seems to be an April fools joke, but they got the wrong day

The manufacturers website

geez that is so sad to see when you look at what that area once was. The removal of all those trees has not helped, but just the simplicity of having some grass, simple gardens and timber fencing makes such a difference.

Well according to the website it takes 40 riders. Which means 1200/40 is 30 cycles. Which means there is a cycle every 2 minutes. Which would be a max 1 minute cycle and then 1 minute to unload and reload. Which seems impossible.

I quite liked the rustic timber fence that was there, replacing that would’ve been nice.

Westfield indeed get too greedy and the owners of night quarter did not see it as worthwhile. Markets on that land next to DW could be pretty cool, but a lot of work would need to be done, especially to make the entrance fit in to the DW aesthetic so it didn’t look out of place when it wasn’t operating. So while it might be a cool idea, I don’t think it would work and if DW wouldn’t to continue with it more regularly, they could easily do it on random weekends throughout the year and maybe back it a park after dark thing

Scooby is still an enjoyable ride, it’s just disappointing when we know what it once was. They just need to spend some serious money again on it

Setup has begun

The station is looking great. They have replaced the fencing along the path towards Corroboree, but unfortunately it’s just a wire fence

The gardens have really started to grow and fill the area. I haven’t checked in a while, so not sure how long it’s been like this, but additional signage has been installed and the wait time is shown. Unfortunately they have laminated signs stuck to the wall in the photos areas The fence out the front of the park is complete

It has reopened https://fb.watch/bZ-7TS2Lf6/

According to the manufacturers website, the theoretical hourly capacity for vortex is 1200 riders

MDMC reopening has been delayed by a month, now opening on April 26.

Very much looks like it has reopened, but might just be technical rehearsals, hence why it’s still on the website

For as long as I can remember the lift hill chain slowed down dramatically when cars weren’t on it, but as soon as one touches the base, it’s speed instantly picks up and becomes noisy. Are you saying that the motor stops entirely now?

I just went through every colour at varying lengths and quantities and they all were the same price?

I'm an architect and a project I recently worked on required colorbond. The client (who is working with a strict budget) wasn't sure what colour they wanted, so the builder got a quote for various colours and they said the surfmist worked out the cheapest.

You can very clearly see these buildings from most places within the park. The only part of the building you can’t really see is where the exit stairs are facing the road. But once the monorail is operating again then you will clearly be looking at this entire building. I’m thinking they went with the white because they will be painting over it and/or they’ll be some timber facade and planting installed. If it’s just kept white, then missed opportunity, but it is the/‘one of the’ cheapest colour to buy and if there was major budget cuts, then that’s why.

Not really, looks like it had a paint refresh. The helipad itself looked like it had quite a bit of work done but was hard to get a photo of it
